From Kenwood Iris Gardens catalog 1933: NANOOK (Ayres-Emig. 1932)—44'^ A fine creamy white of good form and heavy texture. Thstandards are overarched and closely held, a warm amber white at the center, deepening slightly at the edges and deeper at the base. The falls are slightly flaring, pure white, with coppery yellow haft veins. The effect is a fresh opaque color, not the transparent effect of most whites. The stiff candelabra-like stems branch from the ground, generally having 4 to 6 flowers open at once. $10.00.
From Maple Valley Iris Gardens catalog, 1937: NANOOK (Ayres 1932) M. 44 in. A creamy white with amber edges, quite effective and unusual. 35c
