From 1960 Schreiner's catalog: KIMBERLEY (Schreiner 1960). M 36. Here is a very much larger version of the long-popular Minnie Colquitt with a whiter ground color on the standards and a slightly rosier margining on both standards and falls. An iris of crisp, clean-cut form, huge size, and excellent habits. A really fine plicata. $15.00
