Awaiting original catalog description
WINTER SONG (Dubes-Young '61). A superb clear white iris, about as near perfection of form as you will ever see. We found this breathtaking last year at South Sioux City, and its performance this year in our own garden was all that we could have hoped for. Truly a great iris. Ralph and Helen Lewis, "Irises We Liked", A.I.S. Bulletin 164 (Jan. 1962): 47.
