BLUE IRIS 



To reflect the sky .... to provide the perfect com- 

 plement for the yellows, whites, pinks .... a gar- 

 den is lost without blue! And what a list nowadays 

 .... Great Lakes, of course, and Sierra Blue, 

 Gloriole and Missouri am,ong the older ones. And 

 exciting new ones like Pierre Menard, Blue Valley, 

 Distance and Chivalry .... and Helen McGregor 

 — naturally!
