From Glen Road Iris Garden catalog, 1924: FLUTTER-BY (Sturt. 1924)— A soft yellow, the falls lighter in effect, the slender stalk very well and widely branched; to 3 ft. $5.00. As with May Morn, Acheron, Old Ivory, Carcanet, and Garnet, the value of this variety lies in its most unusual and pleasing garden effect. The flowers are not very large, but there are many of them and they are delightfully poised. As individual flowers they do not reach a high standard but in an established clump they add greatly to the garden picture particularly if light in tint. I agree thoroughly with Mrs. McKinney as to the value of a “bantam” class in the garden.
