From Fairmount catalog, 1955. LATE SNOW (Douglas 1953) L. A most dependable white that as the name implies, is a very late flowering variety that blooms with Amandine and Extravaganza, thus prolonging the season of white iris in the garden, as well as offering great possibilities for breeding. A firmly rather tailored flower that comes from Vigil X Themesong, the firm substanced blooms are pure white with just a suggestion of pale yellow in the beard. Tall, with wide branching (five branches and terminal) it increases rapidly, and puts on a show in the late iris garden picture. 42 in. $8.00. |
