| From Schreiner's Iris catalog, 1950: PACEMAKER (Lapham 1950) EM. 36". A very nicely formed new red Iris. A self that is smooth and velvety. The uniformity of color, clue to the absence of any venation in the haft, is exceptional and the silken-like finish to the flower gives it a very glossy sheen. We have tested and compared this Iris extensively and it certainly outdistances any other red available in commerce. At the Annual Meeting of the American Iris Society in Oregon in May, 1949, it was the center of attention. We consider it the finest red we have seen with good branching, a tall, sturdy stem which is better in height and branching than most of the brighter reds. There are three and at times four branches per stem. A rich beard completes the even harmony of this splendid new red. 15.00.|

|"Pacemaker grew well for me, sending up three bloom stalks on a one-year plant. It was well branched, and smoother at the haft than Christabel, Red Gleam, and the rest; but it was neither large nor tall, and was much darker than pictured, and not so red. In Mr. Barker's garden it was shorter than in mine, and was decidedly less red than several of the Lapham seedlings he had."
