From Cooley's Garden catalog 1959: STEP FORWARD (Hall, 1959) Each $20.00. Truly a gigantic flower of light lavender-blue on imposing stems. Although of great size it appears graceful and attractive because of the waved or ruffled extra wide falls. The stalks will reach 38-40 inches and the branching is ideal. Here will be a candidate for first prize in the "largest bloom" class, and a very beautiful one, too. This is an extraordinary Iris in a somewhat staid color group. Seedling No. 55-30.
From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1964: STEP FORWARD (Hall '59) M-38". Truly a "step forward" in the Colossal class is this gigantic Iris in light lavender blue.
