Only one-half of our stock of this variety is offered for sale in 1932 and our price in 1933 will be the same as for this year. In naming this variety we express only a modicum of the gratitude we feel is due the learned author of the Iris Check List from Iris students for all time. [Longfield Iris Farm catalog, 1932]
