Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932: CARFAX. This striking iris, produced on stems that branch four-way, six to eight in number, is heralded in England as an advance in iris breeding comparable to the introduction of Dominion. The blooms are huge, splendidly formed, and in color are a rich auricula red purple. The beard is inconspicuous, there being nothing to detract from the intense richness of the velvety falls. Height close to 4 feet. Carfax is another silver medal winner. Each $12.00; three for $30.00.
Wayman, 1943: Carfax—42 in. Richest velvety red purple. SILVER MEDAL. 0.30c.
