From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1946: WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant 1943) E.M. A most descriptive name for a very noteworthy iris. When the flower first opens it is a very light blue white that soon changes to pure white save for a slight blue flush at the haft. The flowers have very strong substance with closed and domed standards, and semi-horizontal falls. The purity of the flower is in sharp contrast to the heavy dark blue beard. Large strong flowers on sturdy well branched stalks. H.M., A.I.S. 1943. A.M., A.I.S. 1945. 1 R. 88 1945. $12.50.
