Introductory catalog description from Longfield 1926:

(Indian Spring Farms, 1927) This magnificent new introduction well depicts the ideals of quality that Mr. Williamson is endeavoring to breed into his Irises — strong and vigorous growth, freedom of bloom, with form and substance rather than size in the flowers. S. Nigrosin-violet; F. a solid and velvety, blackish red-purple, with a coppery suffusion throughout the whole flower that is most effective. The blooms are medium to large in size, of finest form, and are borne freely on well-branched stalks 40 inches tall. A distinct and beautiful Iris when judged as a single flower, as a separate stalk of bloom, or as a flowering clump. $6.00 each.
