PIUTE (Thomas 1937) M. 38". One of the best irises we flowered last year. It is the nearest approach to real red that we have seen . It is a pure rich red self with no trace of blue or purple in it. The flower is well rounded and flares in a manner similar to Numa Roumestan, but it is of very heavy texture and smooth finish and more brilliant in color. A truly beautiful iris. $20.00. [Quality Gardens Catalog, 1937. Mrs. Douglas Pattison, Freeport, Illinois]
Piute: (Thomas). Color practically the evenest dark red of any, no branching evident, blossom large. Falls turn under slightly which in this case is rather interesting. [Belsley, Ray J., Varietal Comments. Bulletin of the American Iris Society 74 (July 1939), 18.]
