<strong>'Top Of The World' </strong>([[Main.Bio.HybridizerAlbrightMargaret][Margaret Albright]], R. 1959). Seedling# 58-01. TB. Midseason bloom. Standards blue; falls white; blue beard. [[TbAthruE.TbBlueSapphire]['Blue Sapphire']] X [[TbAthruE.TbBlueFlight]['Blue Flight']]. Tell 1961. High Commendation 1959 as seedling# 58-01; Honorable Mention 1962. Tell's Iris 1961.

This year Tell Muhlestein will introduce TOP OF THE WORLD for Margaret Albright. A grandchild of CHIVALRY (BLUE SAPPHIRE X BLUE FLIGHT), neither white nor blue, but an unusual, and completely lovely, combination of both, TOP OF THE WORLD might be called a reverse amoena. Standards are light blue, falls blue white; a heavy bluish beard gives the impression of shadows on new drifted snow. Heavily substanced, silken textured, wide petaled, and ruffled, its beauty returns, like a well-loved melody, to add to the conviction that progress, in the realm of iris, is forging rapidly ahead. (Hamblen, Mrs. J., 1961, pp. 9-10).
