From H. P. Simpson catalog,1922: QUAKER LADY (Farr, 1900) — S. smoky lavender with yellow shadings; F. ageratum-blue and old gold. Odd and attractive. Said to be one of Farr’s best hybrids, but its fault is that it is by no means a large flower. 36 inches. 60¢
From Cornell Extension Bulletin 112, 1925: "Color effect a smokey lavender, ageratum-blue, bronzed and blended bicolor. Standards pale purplish vinaceous, of silky surface texture, bronzed throughout. falls mauvette to deeper ageratum-violet, bronzing at the edge and becoming yellow-olive on outer haft. Reticulations deep gold to olive brown. The beard is fine, projecting, and yellow-orange, and the styles are cream-buff. The growth is vigorous, and the plant has lax, slender, deep yellow-green leaves, tinged at the base. The flowering stalks are freely produced, above medium height, well branched, and carry their numerous blooms in a fine mass. The soft, smokey lavender, blending with old gold in the fair-sized, firm-textured flowers, is very pleasing when used in mass with bright yellows. This variety is a late bloomer. Rating 84."
