INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1930 Cayeux et Le Clerc Iris Catalog: This is an improved "Marquisette." Standards shrimp-rose contrasting gracefully with the falls salmony overlaid purplish-crimson, the whole tinged yellow at base. Strong branched stems above 3 feet.
From the 1936 Robert Wayman Catalog: A greatly improved Marquisette, the color effect being a most attractive and brilliant shrimp pink, flushed yellow at the base and dusted with gold dust.
From the 1936 Quality Gardens Catalog: (Free-vo-letay) A live pink similar in coloring to Lady Ashtown Rose. It's a clear shade of brilliant light pink whose fresh coloring sets it quite apart. Combined with some of the clear red shades a fine color effect is achieved. A free bloomer and lovely and arresting in a mass.
From the 1938 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A light pink, sprightly colored, attractive in form and fine for use in the garden to give a pink effect; a free bloomer.
