See below:
From Tell’s Iris Garden catalog, 1955: SWAN BALLET (Muhlestein). M.-L. (Spanish Peaks x Faught 19H, or an Azure Skies x (Stella Polaris x Easter Morn.) Its parentage is marked in my records as the Faught white Great Lakes sdlg. 19H; however, a stray grain of pollen of the other listed may have been on the tweezers since the flower is very like this Azure Skies sldg. In any event, this is a beautiful, somewhat ruffled, white with a white beard. The falls are very round and flare horizontally, have a little ruffling and a great amount of substance. Fertile both ways. H.C. '54. Limited stock. No. 5l-50A. $25.00 |
