	From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. Introducing ROYAL ANTHEM (Hinkle 1961) M.L. 38 in. To herald a new color line from the hand of Georgia Hinkle, who has achieved superlative heights in blue and white iris, now comes ROYAL ANTHEM-a majestic rosy violet. Borne on tall well-branched stalks the very large flowers of classic form are ruffled and of unusually heavy substance. A lighter area surrounds the cream beard of the wide, flaring falls of rosy violet. The full standards are beautifully arched and closed. As the lofty strains of an anthem thrills and moves the listener so will this regal beauty excite all those who see it. Seedling involving (Pierre Menard x First Affection) x Cascadian. HC 1959. Each $25.00 Net. Gilbert Wild.
