References:

From Melrose Gardens catalog,1958: MARION HAMILTON (Earl Roberts) 36" (Muhlstein 50-6: sib to Gold Ruffles x Pink Formal) X Sweet Marie. Simple, clean and exquisite; soft of manner and a perfect lady. The color of this iris is peach, that subtle pastel blending of pink and apricot, and the hue is consistent throughout, not a breath of off color, or a line to mar it. Even the tangerine beard is soft. The texture is soft satin, befitting a gentle lady, and the falls and standards are extra wide and full with very heavy substance, not soft. Well branched stems. One of the first to bloom and welcome you into the spring garden where she will remain the leading lady for many years. We are very pleased to be able to cointroduce MARION HAMILTON with the ORPINGTON NURSERIES, KENT, ENGLAND. $15.00
