From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing RIVERDALE (C. A. Wells). TB. 30". Coming from two seedlings of unknown ancestry, this is an exciting new look in the variegata class. The standards are an unusual shade of amber-tan, with a subtle rosy infusion. The falls are a deep, velvety wine-maroon, emphasized by a neat border of a lighter shade. Even the beard is unusual, a light brownish maroon. Nicely branched with large, well-placed flowers. Excellent plant habit and a good grower. $25.00. Riverdale Iris Gardens.
