INTERESTING INFO: From the 1963 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Here is a Broadway Star seedling done in tones of soft lavender and rich prune to plum purple. There is a fetching opalescent quality to the color blending in this iris that creates a very intriguing effect. Very few iris in this color category have been introduced in recent years, but we think there is room for one of such high quality as Sateen displays. A clump of this looks most harmonious in the garden picture. Its combination of silken and velvety textures and its subtle blend of varied hues typify to a marked degree the peculiar aggregation of qualities which give iris their characteristic beauty and personality. $12.00
