From Tell's Iris Garden catalog, 1948: ANITA CATHERINE (S. C. Clarke) (Purissima x Mohrson) Large waved, very pale blue self with bluer styles. Beard blue-tipped Cadmium yellow. Typical pallida stem. Should be a wonderful parent. Altogether a lovely iris. Each $15.00. |
From The Court Of Iris catalog,1955: ANITA CATHERINE (S. Clarke '49) M-L 44". (Purissima X Mohrson)The large flowers are of a blue-white but unfortunately show little evidence of the exotic background-indeed but one eighth Onco is present in their makeup. It sets seed however, and has given its originator 'Gold Smoke'. $1.50 |
