From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1965: “Domed standards and extra wide falls with elegant ruffling are features of this sensational new white Iris. It was the leader in the “Judges Choice” in 1964 and was likewise first amoung those which won the HM award of the AIS last year. Will be hard to beat!”
From Eden Road Iris Garden catalog for 1966: “One of the greatest iris ever developed. This one seems to have everything. It is white-white including the beard. Domed standards are ruffled and firmly held. The wide falls are heavily ruffled. Branching and bloom placement are fine as is the substance in the large flowers. Fertile pollen. …Top vote getter for its H. M. ’64. Runner-up Clara B. Rees Award ’65. Placed 1st Judges’ Choice ’65.”
