| From Cooley's Iris Gardens catalog 1967: VIOLET HILLS (DeForest '56) Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, wind, or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a uniform rich violet-purple, the beard is lightly tipped blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM 1958. Winner of the President's Cup 1960. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 |
