References

From Sunnyside Gardens catalog, 1941: ELIZABETH ANN —(Lapham-Gage, 1940). Pedigree on request. A blending of pink shades with cream color, resulting in a smooth self of definite real Pink effect. Strong and very well branched; up to 11 blooms. Tall, free flowering plant. Large blooms of good substance with domed standards and broad and well-rounded falls. On account of its vigorous and rapid increase we are able to offer it at the moderate price here listed, and this price will positively be maintained in 1941. Midseason to late. $10.00. ORIGINAL CATALOG DESCRIPTION.

Cooley's 1945: ELIZABETH ANN (Lapham, 1940). This new pink iris is one of the very last to flower in our garden. Very tall, with as many as 11 blooms per stalk. A blend of pink shades, with much cream in its makeup. One of Lapham's new ones. Each $1.50.
