HEATH CREST, Whiting 1951. No. 479 
(NYLON X LOOMIS’S Q 72). Mid- 
season to late, 40 inches. Mallow pink, 
a shade often associated with heather, 
with a heavy tangerine beard. When 
the late Hans P. Sass visited our gar- 
den in May of 1949, he considered this 
seedling to be the most valuable one 
in the garden for breeding. He and 
Henry, who brought him for his last 
visit, each carried a stalk of it home 
to use the pollen. So—for use in breed- 
ing, not as a finished iris, we offer it 
to those of you who are interested. 
Plants very strong, hardy and free 
with bloom, pollen and increase. $2.00
