From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1942: MAY DAY (D. Hall 1939) M. Considered by many as the most outstanding iris produced by Mr. Hall. A blend with the colors so evenly mingled that the general appearance is a glowing apricot orange self. The form combines the beauty of long flaring falls with the crisped standards held firmly together. The bright orange beard adds a vibrant note of color to this glowing apricot blend. H.M. A. I. S. 1939. Per. R. 89 1940. 40 in. $5.00.
