MISS CHRISTINE (Watkins-Watkins 1954) M. Some iris depend on color for their beauty, others for perfection of form and finish, and this iris is a combination of both. The large flowers of rich creamy yellow have broad falls, lightly fluted and ruffled The standards are firm and rounded with smoothly finished texture. The wonderful mellowness of color coupled with the fine form and substance places this iris in the front ranks of the modern yellows. A self with 10 or more flowers on strong especially well branched stalks. The first introduction from Edward and Arthur Watkins and one of great merit. 39 in. $12.50. [Fairmount catalog, 1955]
