From AIS Bulletin #225 Spring 1977 Introducing JEANNE PRICE (1977)-Sdlg. 70-1-2. (Lemon Tree X Shining Light). Scheduled for introduction from the day it first bloomed, this large. beautifully formed lemon yellow more than fills the void in that color class. The large, regally formed flowers are medium yellow on the lemon side of yellow. Standards are domed and closed, lightly ruffled. Wide flaring falls are lightly fluted along the edges and a small white spot adds an accent to the deep lemon beard. Seven to nine buds on strong, well-branched stalks. The plant multiplies easily. Named for a keen irisarian who has done much to promote our favorite flower. Exhibition Certificate 1977, HC 1977. 35". $25.00. Bennett Jones.
JEANNE PRICE (Jones '77), a bright yellow self with lemon beards, was one of the nicest yellows in the garden. There is good branching and long lasting flowers. [F. G.
