INTERESTING INFO: From its Introductory 1956 Iris Lover's Catalog: The history of hybridizing is characterized by both color breaks and breaks in form. The crinkle-type Iris, representing a form mutation, have recently added new charm to our versatile flower. Our 1955 offering, Carmela, so enthusiastically received, as well as Limelight, Party Dress, Truly Yours, gives one an appreciation of this new type of floral beauty. CRINKLED RIBBON is of interest not only for its intriguing color and the intensity of its crinkling but for the fact that it comes from an entirely new line of breeding (Pathfinder x Rose Splendor). It promises a fine additional complex of genes to broad-petaled ancestry. The picture on page 13 scarcely captures the subtle color of the filigree of highlights resulting from its crinkling. $10.00
