"Majorette (Miess '53) -Another western introduction that could be rated 100% as it has everything, height, form, branching, substance and color that is different. Falls are a deep maroon with white plicata markings on the shoulders and a pure white beard. Standards are of a rosy-mauve shade that blends well with the falls. An iris one goes back to see, over and over again and each time admiring it more and more." [“Region 15, Varietal Comments,” Advertisement. The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 134 (July 1954): 72.]
From Easy Breeze Gardens catalog, 1955: MAJORETTE (Miess '53) 38". HM '54. Miss Miess calls this a leader, and she's right! A perky, flaring iris with deep maroon falls, with white beard and plicata like white markings at the haft. Standards a bit lighter. Sure to please. $14.00
