From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1963: CRYSTAL (Knowlton '56) E.M. 40 in. Snow Flurry x Chivalry. Very large and excellently formed flower of clean blue white. Broad and beautifully ruffled. Choice. H.M. 1956. 2.00.
CRYSTAL 48-119A (Knowlton 1956) M. Exquisite in form and color harmony this white iris is faintly flushed with light lavender-blue on the styles and the inside of the standards, but the complete effect is a white thick textured flower that is very ruffled, and over all these is a crystalline frost work reminiscent of a snowy winter morn. The standards are broad and ruffled and the falls are rippled on the border. Snow Flurry x Chivalry. H.M., A.I.S. 1956. 36in. $3.00. [Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1964, p 8]
