From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog for 1954: CURTIS A (Van Siyke 1954) M. L. 40 in. No. V49-11-50. Hall 44-09: Sib. to Hit Parade x Pink Tower. It is with pride that I introduce this beautiful new iris originated by Mrs. M. E. Van Slyke of Farmington, Michigan. Mrs. Van Slyke has been growing and hybridizing iris for several years and this, her first introduction, certainly shows her wonderful ability and fine judgement. A rich flamingo pink, Curtis A is somewhat reminiscent of Pink Perfection in coloring, but is still much deeper in color and more lustrously finished. The flowers are very large with wide, slightly ruffled petals and full ruffled style arms. The form is excellent and the substance heavy. Placement is good on tall, very well branched stalks. Increase is rapid and the plants are hardy. $15.00.
