References:

From Bonnewitz catalog, 1923/24: MISTRESS FORD (Hort) $15.00. Mr. Wallace gives this variety very high praise in his latest list, but my own personal opinion is that most of the Hort varieties are being held at too high prices. This variety seems quite vigorous in my garden, although many Hort varieties are not. I can spare a few roots of it, but I do not recommend its purchase at the price.
From Treholme Gardens catalog 1928: MISTRESS FORD (Hort 1921) E. 82 G. 88 38", M. S. S. dome shape, reddish-purple; F. long, rich red-violet. A vigorous free flowering variety of merit that is sure to attract attention. 1.00.
