References:

From Indian Spring Farms catalog, 1927: MIRANDA (Hort 1919). A grand Iris that blooms early on a vigorous growing plant with strong, well-branched stems. The flowers are nicely formed with arched standards and flaring falls and are uniformly colored dull bluish-violet, with a distinct, metallic sheen that is very beautiful. This is nearest to a true, dark blue Iris, and is proving to be the best in its class. 42 inches. $1.00 each.
From Longfield Iris Farm catalog, 1925: A very beautiful deep blue purple Iris of perfect form and carriage. One of the earliest of the tall bearded varieties, free flowering and of strong growth. Fine in every way.
 
From Bonnewitz catalog, 1923/24: MIRANDA (Hort) $2.00. This is one of the tallest growing varieties with large blooms of a pleasing shade of purple. It is a valuable addition to our list of Irises, for it is more vigorous than many of the later Hort varieties.
