GONDOLIER (J. Nelson '71) Each $20.00. A very brilliant deep, glowing, red-purple self, a child of 'Doge Of Venice' and hence the name. Falls are exceptionally broad and clean and the beard is inconspicuous, adding to the one-color, rich effect. 3-foot stems, with plenty of branching and several large flowers to the stalk. We hope to show this in color next year because it is richness personified! Seedling No. 66-11-1. [Cooley's 1971]
GONDOLIER (Nelson ’71) Deep red-purple self with blue b. Broad petals. Fine branching. Tall, 39”. A knockout. List $10.00. Our Price $3.75. [Baldwin’s Iris Catalog, 1975. Walla Walla, WA]
