ARCTIC 



(Kleinsorge, 1940) 



Introduced last year, this new iris has proven to 

 be one of the very finest things that has ever come 

 out of our catalog, or out of Dr. Kleinsorge s garden. 

 White flowers, and especially those of a creamy tone, 

 have a tendency to photograph toward yellow in 

 Kodachrome, and for that reason the color plate at 

 the left actually has too much yellow in it. Really, 

 Arctic is more nearly white, except at the center 

 and the edges of the falls. The form and general 

 character of the flower, however, is clearly shown, 

 and at least a fair idea of its color and great beauty 

 may be had. Remarkable branching makes possible 

 a half-dozen foamy blossoms open at one time. 



Each $7.50
