Full Description

TB 34″ ML W2

From the Undated catalog of R. Marshall, Detroit, MI: “A fine shaped white with blue-lavender etched standards and falls with lavender-veined borders.”

From Glen Road Iris Gardens, Wellesley Mass (Grace Sturtevant’s Iris Garden), circa 1925.”The large ruffled white standards and the flaring falls are borered and misted with a delicate mauve. I like it better each year; 34″.
