References:
From Walter Marx Gardens catalog 1957: LADIES DAY (Marx 1956) Each 7.50. The ladies certainly had their day with this new white seedling in our gardens, so the choice of the name was a natural. We believe we have achieved here just about the ultimate in a ruffled iris, grace, vivacity, dignity and indisputable beauty. The light yellow beard complements the pure whiteness, and the frilling is so exquisite, it literally hides the size of the bloom. Well branched. Midseason. 42 inches. |
