From Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932: "*MESSALINE*. One of the fairly recent French sorts which is known to but few growers. The standards of this iris are especially gorgeous, appearing as if covered with gold dust; the underlying color is light chamois. Falls are corinthian red, striped cream and buff. A large and tall iris, with broad foliage tinged purple at the base. We have built up a nice stock and offer it at a very reasonable price. Each $2.50; three for $6.00; ten, $18.00"
