1954 Introduction 
GOLD ANTHEM (Mimosa Gold X unknown) Douglas 1954, 
M.L. This golden yellow self has inherited a free blooming 
quality from its parent Mimosa Gold. A small light yellow 
area at the tip of its heavy brilliant orange-yellow beard adds 
to its individuality. The stalk has four branches plus terminal. 
The individual flowers have great substance and flaring form. 
Visitors to the 1948 Convention in Nashville will remember 
this iris as number 815B. Six years of testing have proven its 
worth. 40” $15.00
