SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE (Ernst, '65) M. 36" Each $3.00

 to look for in an Iris of this popular hue. There is an amber glow 

 in the central area. This one has large size to go with its other qual- 

 ities which include especially fine branching. Flowers are ruffled and 

 very long lasting. HM AIS, 1967. Shown on page 20.
