| Tell's CREAM CREST has been a favorite of mine since its seedling days. A fabulous flower with broad petals and chic form, this iris is glowing ivory cream with a slight brushing of lemon-yellow at the haft. Substance, branching, and growth habits leave nothing to be desired. Melba Hamblen, "Honors, Review and Preview", A.I.S. Bulletin 164 (Jan. 1962): 14. |

| "A truly fine new iris in a color class that could stand more attention. Large, nicely formed blossoms with tight standards and semiflaring falls, cream shading to pale gold at the heart of the flower. Nicely ruffled and with very good substance. The strong stalks are well branched." Lewis, Ralph and Helen, Irises We Liked, American Iris Society Bulletin, Vol. 164, January, 1962, p. 48. |
