From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1957: MALLOW LACE (H. Sass- .H. Graham) Sdlg. No. 52-127. We've all been waiting for this one. A smooth self colored iris with all those fine qualities that make a really GOOD iris-and with the crimped lacing that is so popular in recent iris history. Most of the heavily laced iris introduced so far have had some unsatisfactory quality about them, either in color, form or in general make up, but in MALLOW LACE there are none of these distractions. It is a large flower with perfect closed standards, flaring falls, good branching, height, 36". But the color is the finest thing about it. As we have said-smooth, smooth orchid lavender that has an opaque or enameled quality that gives this flower Class (note the capital "C"). The beard is soft tangerine, the clue to the predecessors of this new arrival. So, you see, there is no sacrifice of quality here, just because we like and want "lacing". $20.00 |
