MISS CALIFORNIA Each $ Gigantic lilac pink, with the growing habits of Dauntless, one of the parents. While not the "pinkest" iris, the shade of this one is quite distinct and it surely has every attribute that one could wish for in a perfect flower. It was one of the high spots in the Salbach display garden last spring. Midseason, 48 inches. MISSOURI Each $ Clear, clean blue, of sensation- al size.
