From AIS Bulletin #113, April 1949. Introducing SARAH GOODLOE, Smooth, rich elegance in a tall stately iris of deep, solid maroon. Complete self. No reticulations. $20.00. Fairmount Gardens.
From Iris Test Garden catalog, 1955: SARAH GOODLOE. (G. Douglas, 1949).M. L. Rarely do we see an iris that has such rich elegance as this tall and stately one. This is due to the solid almost black-maroon color and the very velvety finish of the flowers. An iris that was highly praised at the Nashville meeting. A long flower with arched and highly domed standards of deep maroon. The falls are semi-flaring of the same color as the standards, but with a deep velvet flush that extends into the heart of the bloom. The stalk is tall, strong and well branched. A very finished iris with excellent carrying quality in the garden. H. C., A.I.S., 1948. H.M., A.I.S., 1949. 38 inches. $4.50.
