References:

From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963: WHITE UNICORN (Austin '62) EM-ML-42". From among thousands of my Horned Iris seedlings, I found this white one, with white or blue-white standards & white falls flushed pale lilac. Probably the heaviest bloomer of horned Iris. Horns long, needle-like, frequently up to 2". Pollen abundant. (Horned Skylark X Seedling JS-84J). Regularly $5.00; on $15 order 2 for $4.50; on $25 order 3 for $3.95.
