References:

From Farr's catalog, 1910: JUNIATA (Pallida) Standards and falls beautiful clear blue, deeper than Dalmatica, very large sweet-scented flowers. By far the tallest variety in my collection. The photo of a single clump reproduced on the second cover page gives a comparative idea of its height of 4-1/2 ft., also of the graceful fountain-like effect of its unusually long, slender foliage.
From R. S. Sturtevant, "Farr's Seedling Irises", A.I.S. Bulletin 14 (Jan. 1925). JUNIATA has probably been used more than any other American variety as a parent and, with its plicata heritage, has developed some promising progeny.
From AIS Bulletin 6: Self, mauve to manganese violet; foliage lax; growth vigorous; 42 inches. Very fragrant; Standards arching, revolute; falls flaring convex; beard white, orange tipt; styles and haft bluish white.
From Adamgrove catalog, 1997: JUNIATA (Farr, 1909) Tall Bearded diploid. A fine form of I. pallida (doubtfully much else involved) with smooth orchid blue color and good form, and especially, that delicious fragrance. Mr. Farr was a prominent nurseryman in Pennsylvania. $5.00. RHS AM 1931.
