INTERESTING INFO: From the 1954 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: From Black Forest and Chivalry -- and about halfway between them in color -- comes this suave, pert, trimly tailored blue-black iris with deep violet undertones. The jaunty carriage, serene uniformity of coloring combined with inky color saturation, plus a silky rather than a velvety sheen, give it a personality all its own. Its outstanding floriferousnesss in the clump makes it an indispensible garden subject. A truly delightful Iris destined to be a landscape favorite. Illustrated page 37. $12.00
