From Cornell Bulletin 112: Color effect a rich yellow self. Standards Journal de la Société Nationale d'Horticulture de France, 1922, Tome XXIII, empire yellow. falls empire yellow, tinting lighter along the brilliant, showy beard. A vigorous grower, with compact yellow-green foliage. The flower stalks are freely produced and of medium height, making the plant exceptional for color mass as well as for cut flowers. Its late blooms and brilliant color cause it to stand out as one of the thirty distinct sorts, even tho it is a very old variety. This bearded iris should not be confused with the apogon sort, species aurea. The bearded iris sort here described is sometimes known in the trade as 'Canary Bird'. Rating 74. Note it is very likely that this is just a color form of Iris variegata p. 217 and . if height information can be located it should likely be classed today as an MTB a class that did not exist at the time it was recorded.
