From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1942: Indiana Night (Cook No. 13839, 1942). Deep velvety purple, the richest and most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from Sable. Under test for three years, Indiana Night has shown hardly a fault; seen in close comparison with numerous other darks, both named varieties and seedlings, it has been uniformly admired and praised by lovers of deep color in Irises. The stem is tall and well branched; the flower traits — size, shape, substance, texture — are all of the best. Plant of strong growth and good blooming habit. Detail: S. domed, between Hyacinth Violet and Mulberry Purple; F.semi-flaring, between Mulberry Purple and Fluorite Violet; beards bluish, tipped Lemon Chrome. Flowers 5-1/2 ins. high x 5 ins. wide; stems 38 ins. tall, branched near middle, bearing 8 flowers. Midseason. $10.00.
