From Iris Test Garden catalog, 1958: ALICE LEMEN. Plough 1956. This Iris has heavy crimped and fluted edges. The falls are white with clean hafts of Empire yellow. The nicely closed standards are Empire yellow. Beard is bright yellow. A grand thing. $20.00.
 

Closed standards are yellow; falls are white with yellow hafts. All edges of petals are crimped and fluted. Very floriferous; we usually have two or three bloom stalks on one-year plants. [Hildenbrandt, Lester (1965). Irises for a Beginner, American Iris Society Bulletin, 177(April 1965), 27.]
