From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1926: HESPERIA Our No. 155. A striking bicolor of distinct coloration, giving in the garden a general effect of light brown. Flowers large; the standards Light Drab; the falls a solid Blackish Red Purple flushed amber.

A strong growing and very free flowering variety greatly admired by many visitors to our garden during the past five years. Strong plants, prepaid, each - $3.00.
