From H. P. Simpson catalog, 1922: "MADAM CHEREAU (Lemon 1844) — S. and F. white with distinct and rather heavy frilling of blue-lavender. The old standard frilled variety and of good blooming habit. A pretty flower and medium-size bloom. Tall. 30 inches. $.21"
From United States Nursery, Pitcher & Manda, 1896, p. 73: Mad. Chereau, A grand feathery white variety, with fine violet edges. 25 cts.
From Cornell Bull. 112: "Color effect a lavender- white plicata. Standards white, bordered hortense violet, beautifully ruffled. falls white, with deeper hortense violet, slightly purplish tinged plications. The base of the blade becomes cream-white with a waxy sheen. The styles are showy, hortense violet, and the beard is dense, white, and yellow tipped. The growth is moderate, and the foliage lax, slender, and green. The flowering stalks are tall and well branched, and carry the smallish blooms well above the compact foliage. The delicate coloring, the clear penciling, and the symmetrical form of the individual bloom have not been rivaled by the productions of the modern hybridist. This is one of the best ten, and absolutely lovely, despite its low rating of 74."
Another historic iris worth having in the landscape. Dainty blooms on tall slender stalks add interest in mixed beds. Photo June 4, 2013 -- LeonElliott - 2013-08-05. Long, drooping falls add a graceful appearance. Very worthwhile historic! -- LeonElliott - 2013-08-05
