the Perennial Supreme 



Color? Why, these new kinds ofEer the most exciting color range of any flower that grows. There are luscious pinks, 

 great blooms of solid golden yellow, Jersey creams, blues of the sky and of deep waters, soft tans and chocolate-

 coppers and melting shades of apricot. Some come in marbled patterns, others are delicately stitched or sanded.

 short ones, and a host of average height. You can have them early, mid-season and late . . . and at a price to suit 

 the beginner with a modest purse or the connoiseur with unlimited means. Yes, the Iris is truly the perennial 

 supreme . . . and so easy to grow!
