From Cooley's Gardens catalog 1955: VICE-REGAL (Miles, 1946) Here is a brand new iris from Canada, one of the most richly colored seedlings we have ever grown. The standards and falls are almost identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft markings-a supreme shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with bronze beard 33 inches tall. HM AIS 1947; AM 1951. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00.
From Marble Iris Gardens catalog, 1957: VICE REGAL. EM. 34 in. A very reliable, fine, richly colored Iris from Canada. Both standards and falls are almost identical in color, like a piece of rich brocade. It is a bronzy red-purple with the falls appearing slightly deeper, due to the velvety texture. Scarcely any haft markings. H .M., 1947; A.M. in 1951. Each 60c; 3 for $ 1.50.
