1926, Dykes

W. R. DYKES. No iris has come to us from any source that has carried greater advance publicity, and it is doubtful if any has created as much comment. Here is a yellow iris that ranks with the very largest in size, with heavy crepey texture, and a color of richest golden-yellow. The falls are usually stained and streaked lightly with purple. In some flowers this is not evident at all, but the beauty of the blossom is not marred in the least. It has flowered well in almost every section of the country, but it does demand perfect drainage. Cold temperatures do not seem to harm the plant. A great novelty. Each $18.00 [Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932]
Longfield Gardens 1936 offers this note: " This is probably the most remarkable yellow Iris on the market. The Standards are tall, dome shaped and frilled. The falls are long and broad of great thickness and the surface of the flower is crinkled. Flowers of richest golden yellow with the falls lightly flecked violet.
