References:

From Treholme Gardens catalog 1931: SENLAC (Bliss 1929) E.87, G.93, M. S., 42". A bright, clear aster purple self. A vigorous, very large, free-flowering variety, produced on tall, strong, well-branched stalks. Brilliant on the landscape.
From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1937: Introduced by the Orpington Nurseries in England, this richly colored iris stands out as the reddest yet to come from that country. With blooms larger than the best of the 'Dominion' race, it carries its brilliant claret-red flowers on strongly branched stems, and is so highly regarded in England that it is rated at 91."
