From AIS Bulletin #153, April 1959. Introducing ADDED ATTRACTION (C. Rees) (Hall's 44-09 x Golden Eagle) X Hall's #22. This flaring, rosy-orchid bloom, which garden visitors tell us is a shade "different" from anything they have seen, has the added attraction of a full coral beard. It is a feminine flower, beautifully poised on a well branched, sturdy Stems, with attractive foliage. It is a good increaser and grower, and it was runner-up for Region 14's gold cup for the best seedling seen at the 1958 regional convention. Height, 48". Mid-season to late. H. C., 1958. $20.00. Rees Iris Garden.
