From the Correspondence section of The Garden, February 15, 1913:
Iris Vartanii and its White Variety.—We were interested to see figured in your February 8 issue, page 69, the fine pan of Iris Vartanii, and should like to draw attention to the very little known white variety of it which goes under the name of Pearl of Jerusalem or White Pearl. We introduced it a few years back as a variety of Histrio, but it showed itself to be Vartanii as soon as it flowered. Another point worth mentioning with regard to the species is its delightful fragrance, which Sir Michael Foster seems to have overlooked in his invaluable little book on bulbous Irises. It strongly reminds one of Almonds.—R. Wallace and Co.
