| From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1929: Grisette (Williamson No. 335, 1928). (Mme Cheri X ?). Tall Bearded. Height 34 inches, stalk well branched. Flowers medium to large, smooth and formal. Standards Walnut Brown, shot with the Manganese Violet of the falls. Described and rated 8.5 by Mr. Sturtevant in 1924, who found its distinction in its silky tones with the standards darker than the falls, suggesting a rich Quacker Lady or Steepway. We believe the individuality and beauty of this variety will appeal to Iris lovers generally. We were offered $250.00 for the plant when it first flowered in 1924. $5.00. |
