From AIS Bulletin #145, April 1957. Introducing SALEM LASS (Wish Again x Pretty Pansy). As pert and trim as a Quaker Lass. Deep red-violet self (Loganberry, M&P). Thin white edging around both standards and falls. Clean white area around lemon-yellow beard enhances the beauty of this flower. Domed, closed standards and semi-flaring falls. Excellent form and substance. Good branching. Different than any iris I know. Good reports wherever tested. Midseason-36". $15.00. Marvin Olson.
