From AIS Bulletin #174, July 1964. Introducing NITTANY (Hunter '64) EML 32 in. (Cahokia X Violet Harmony). We are proud to handle Max Hunter's first introduction which received an HC under the number 58-4 last year. The flaring flower is Campanula Violet with a white area around the yellow tipped white beard. The blooms are lightly ruffled and have good substance. Three branches and terminal with three buds per socket. $20.00. Palette Gardens.
Mr. Maxwell W. Hunter of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, an accredited Garden Judge of the American Iris Society, received the John C. Wister Award in 1964. The award was presented to Mr. Hunter at the recent regional meeting held at State College, Pennsylvania. Named for Dr. John C. Wister of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, one of the founders of AIS, as well as a member of Region 3, this award is given annually to the hybridizer whose unintroduced seedling receives the High Commendation of the Awards Committee and receives the most votes from the judges at the Regional Test Garden at Quakertown. This seedling, 58-4 (CAHOKIA x VIOLET HARMONY) is now registered and bears the name of NITTANY. A huge violet with wide flaring falls, NITTANY is a beauty, and Region 3 judges expect it to win further awards from the judges of the Society.
