Cayeux et Le Clerc catalog 1930, p. 6.
From Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932: FRIVOLITE. This French introduction is offered as a great improvement upon the variety MARQUISETTE. The general effect is one of rich and brilliant shrimp-pink, the entire blossom seemingly dusted with gold dust. Mr. Sherman Duffy, eminent iris authority and writer, states in Bulletin No. 41 for October, that during the past blooming season FRIVOLITE made a distinct impression upon him, and that he considered it the finest thing in its class. A very lovely and unique novelty. Rapid of increase. Each $6.50; three for $15.00.
