Dolly Madison
Williamson, 1926
TB 35" S3L, From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1937: "Blend of mauve and grey, with very bright orange and yellow center. It is of large size, with fine stems, hardy anywhere. Without doubt one of the best irises ever originated and one of the most popular in the country."
From Robert Wayman Iris Catalog 1932: "A larger, better and pinker Quaker Lady of perfect form, gigantic size and heavy substance. The exceedingly high rating given this new blend places it in the highest rank as one of the world's finest Iris."
(Lent A. Williamson X mixed pollen), HM 1926.
