From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1943: ANNE NEWHARD (Wiesner 1940) L. The falls are semi-flaring of very deep velvety blue purple with no venations at the haft, and the velvet finish extending well down into the throat. The standards are firmly held together of medium hyacinth blue with a narrow margin of the deep blue of the falls. An extremely late blooming variety with firmly finished flowers of unusual and delightful color harmony and fine branching habit. R. 86 1941.38 in. $4.00
ANNE NEWHARD As this was grown in Mrs. Whiting's garden, I thought it one of the most finished iris I have seen. The medium-blue standards are slightly frilled with a fine hairline edge of deepest blue. The broad falls are of dark, very blue velvet. Not too large, not too tall, but of such exquisite detail and perfect coloring that I wrote "must have" beside its name and underscored it twice.-<Mrs<. M. A. Tinley, Council Bluffs, Iowa [Comments on Varieties, A.I.S. Bulletin 87:11 Oct. 1942]
Sold from the following catalogs: Fairmount 1940, 1943; Kellogg 1940; Maple Valley 1940; Tell 1947.
