CLARET VELVET Each $5.00 



One of the most velvety pieces of deep color that we have 

 ever seen in an iris. Glowing blackish wine, without venation,

 yellow beard. Bred in Nebraska, it should prove hanJv

Entirely different from all others, its great popularity has 

 resulted not only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of 

 its flowers, but also from the fact that it performs well in all 

 sections of the country. It positively glows in its bright 

 copper, gold, and pinkish tan blendings. Dykes Medal, 1938.
