ETCHED APRICOT (Gibson, '67) Each $20.00. Warm golden apricot color, the standards without markings and the falls creamy ivory in the center with fine etchings of apricot. None of the many other Gibson plicatas match this most attractive hue and the flower itself is absolute perfection in form. Extra large, 3-inch petal width and ideal rulfling and fluting are added features. Height about 30 inches. No. 51-OPF. [Cooley's Iris, 1967]
