| From AIS Bulletin #201 April 1971 Introducing FIREY FURNACE Sdlg. 6-64: Aspenglow X Caribou Trail, Y1F, ML, TB, 29", RTG '68, Best Sdlg. Reg. 18 '68, Reg. 4 Best Out of Region Sdlg. '70. I had hesitated to introduce this one because it makes a small plant but after winning more awards than any of my other seedlings have won and after seeing it produce some outstanding seedlings, here it is. If you're looking for a deep yellow iris that won't fade in the sun, that has no dirty haze as have many of this color, that doesn't grow very tall, that's a good breeder both ways and is a dependable bloomer, this one is for you. The blooms have a ruffled swirled effect. To paraphrase someone else, a row of them looks like a "Flight of Butterflies." Hybridizers will note that the parentage may give them a new approach in their solid yellow breeding. Plenty of stock perrmts a low introductory price. $15.00. Capt Iris Gardens. |
