KINGDOM (Fay '64). "One of my favorites for four seasons. Emphasis here is on clear, ultra clean deep yellow color with wide, heavily ruffled petals; substance is exceptionally heavy; stalks are strong and consistently average to well branched. This always has been a healthy, vigorous grower in our area. Primary fault: Tendency to bloom too heavily." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension”
The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 7.]
