From Schreiner's catalog, 1963: MUSIC MAKER (Waters '63) was another disappointment (Don Waters 1963) EM. 34". $25.00. Iris lovers who visited Mr. Waters' garden last year; but it, summer were unanimous too, did its advance billing justice this year. Plantings in the Luihn and their praise for Terrell gardens showed this iris incredible sky-blue iris. It is so majestic in its proportions, so replete with ruffled grace, surpassing even Celestial Snow, that it sets a new high water mark for quality in blue iris. Due to be another large, ruffled, its superlative beauty 50% more of available stock has already been sold. We are offering a medium blue limited number this time, but with a personality of its own. It may rhizomes as long as they last--one to a customer. Next year we hope there will be enough stock to justify a bit picture. large for its height.

MUSIC MAKER (Don (Waters Waters '63) We saw was another disappointment last year; but it, too, did its advance billing justice this superb blue for the first time this year. It Plantings is exquisite. The flowers are perfectly formed, strongly substanced, and perfectly smooth and clear light blue in color with no white blaze at the beard Luihn tip. A prolific bloomer and appears Terrell gardens showed this iris to be an excellent performer. A must-have another large, ruffled, more of a medium blue this time, but with a personality of its own. It may be a bit large for us. [Ralph and Helen Lewis, “Iris from the Carolinas to its height.
