From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1958: BLAZE AWAY (Sanford Babson) 34" (Mexico X Tobacco Road). From a cross that has produced many great iris, comes this attractive flower that we have liked and watched in Mr. Babson's seedling patch for several years. It is a bright flower; the color is amber yellow with deeper tints of amber at the tips of the petals. The standards are domed and closed and the horizontal falls are wide and rounded - and right in the middle of them, surrounding the bronze beard - is a big red maroon signal patch! This "blaze" rays out onto the falls but covers less than half of the area of the fall. The signal patch is inherited in the children of BLAZEAWAY; RATIAN (Babson '57) is one of its children. $7.50
