References:

From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1952: SABLE NIGHT (Cook No. 5647) Tall Bearded. This is the richly colored blackish red iris admired by the many visitors to our garden during the last few years, and which won the H.C. award in 1949. A "red" dark. The erect standards are very deep maroon-purple; the flaring-drooping falls are solid black, tinged the same maroon-purple. The beard is harmoniously dark brown. A flower of rich dark color but not in the least sombre. The fine color is enhanced by the smooth, glossy texture, and the heavy, durable substance. The flowers are large (5x5), carried on erect, strong, well-branched stems 36-38 inches tall. $15.00.
From Fleur de Lis Gardens catalog 1956: SABLE NIGHT (P. Cook 1952) M. 38 in. Cook sdlg. x Sable. This is one of the most sensational of all the new black iris. The flowers are large and full petaled with very heavy substance and a smooth finish. The smooth dark coloring is slightly undertoned red purple. Dykes Medal 1955. Net 15.00.
