From Western Iris Gardens catalog, 1948: WHITE CITY (Murrell, 1939). EM. 42". Of English origin and winning Dykes Medal, England, 1940, WHITE CITY is a blue-white. There is a flush of plumbago (lead) blue around the heart. A crisp finish lends to unusual ice-cold effect. $1.50

WHITE CITY (Murrell) is a large "white," which this year was palest blue. I must see it again. It has been reported on very favorably by those who should know. [Cave, N. Leslie (1943). Comments from England. American Iris Society Bulletin, 88(January 1943), 52.]
