References:

From AIS Bulletin #193 April 1969 Introducing SHIPSHAPE (Sanford Babson). TB. 38". (Epic X Pacific Panorama) Very large, VERY wide medium blue. Also popular at the 1968 convention and going fast. NET $25.00. Melrose Gardens.
SHIPSHAPE is a very broad, very beautiful medium blue that has the best blue color of any iris I know. The hafts are so wide they touch, and the entire flower is heavily ruffled. It is an improvement on its Dykes winning parent, PACIFIC PANORAMA, and has so many good qualities it should win a Dykes itself. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 14.]
 
SHIPSHAPE (Babson) - Tall and stately medium to dark blue Dykes winner. Does well in parts of the country where most of Babson's and other Californians' varieties are historically tender. Broad, lightly ruffled flowers. [Perry Dyer, “A Tall bearded Collection for the Beginner”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 237 (April 1980): 37.]
