References:

From Schreiners Iris catalog, 1947: MT. McKINLEY (Schreiner, R. 1947. 38". An early blooming, tall derivative of Amigo and Wabash. The flowers are slightly larger than Wabash and the stems are as tall but the branching on Mt. McKinley is better, lower and a bit longer. The coloring is most pleasant, standards are soft and clear, opening with a hint of blue that quickly pales to cool white. The falls are rich, smooth and glossy without margining or veining at the haft. The tailored finish and lack of venation are due no doubt to its Amigo heritage. The haft has a warm chestnut like flush (not veins) that brings to mind the unusual color combinations of Sir Michael. Fertile pollen and a good seed setter. Price, each $7.50.
