From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1937: “One of the largest varieties, of a peculiar shade of manganese violet. A sort of heliotrope color, with monster blooms, freely produced.”
From Historical Chronicle No. 30. The Sasses: “Maple Valley 1937: …unusual form and color tone make it standout in the garden and in one’s memory. A best seller after ten years, without it ever taking an award.” see below
From The Iris Garden catalog of Dorothy Stoner, 1940: “Manganese violet of enormous size and heavy substance; midseason; tall.”
From Robert Wayman’s catalog for 1939: EARLY Gigantic flowers of fine form and heavy substance in brilliant medium blue, with a flush of soft violet. A magnificent variety and very scarce.”
HM 1926.
Comment: The HM for Baldwin can be found in the 1949 CL, but without reference to the AIS Bulletin it should have been recorded in. I wonder… did someone at the Registrars Office see such a comment as Maple Valley’s and dig through the 1926 ballots to set this right? sdt
