From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1948: DEEP NIGHT. (Corey, 1947). M. An impressive flower of intense Mulberry purple, the nearest color to it is Grape Juice (Maerz and Paul). The standards are broad, arched and well held. The semiflaring falls have a velvety over-lay of more brilliant color, surrounding the dark gold beard, and the bronzy flush at the haft is in striking contrast to the rest of the flower. The large, fragrant blooms have good substanre. H.M., A.I.S., 1948. $2.25.
"Mrs. Corey's Deep Night was admired very much by the "come again" visitors. It is not as dark as its name implies, but rather is a medley of mulberry and purple." Mrs. Otto Steutzel, “After the Ball Was Over,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 103 (October 1946): 10.
