From Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932: SIR MICHAEL: Unquestionably the finest blue and purple bicolor in the world. Standards are clear blue, falls deep rich mahogany, with a beard of red-gold. Regarded as the finest iris ever to come from England and a sensation wherever shown. In our own wet Northwest, in dry and sunny California, and in Nebraska, Ohio, and the colder Minnesota and New England, we found it blooming equally well. A super iris, if ever there was one. Each $4.00; three for $10.50; ten, $30.00 |
From Adamgrove catalog, 1997: SIR MICHAEL (Yeld, 25) Sir Michael Foster imported giant tetraploid irises from Asia which made possible our modem Tall Bearded varieties. Light purple violet standards; velvety red violet falls. White haft markings. Strong, pleasant fragrance. Yeld was a master plantsman who bred several genera.We know him primarily for Iris and Hemerocallis. England. $5.00. AM of the RHS, 29. |
