Awaiting original catalog description
"His best seedling to date is, in my opinion, Asta Schirmer, a very fine, extra large, red-violet self with slightly ruffled falls and well held standards, and it is not a bit floppy as so often happens with very large blooms." [David R. Kinnish, “Kansas and Missouri Gardens in 1946” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 103, (October 1946): 24-25.
"I had the good fortune to judge the splendid iris show at St. Joseph, Mo., and while there visited the gardens of Dr. H. W. Schirmer and Carl Schirmer. "Asta Schirmer," a huge dark red, with all the poise in the world, is a gorgeous thing. At the St. Joseph show it won grand champion of the show over Prairie Sunset, Mulberry Rose and several others of this class. It simply had the color, form, substance and branching to win out." [Dr. Lewis Clevenger, “Kansas and Missouri Gardens in 1946” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 103, (October 1946): 29.]
