HE first duty of any garden 

 flower is to supply color and 

 lots of it — and to the degree 

 a plant does this one job 

 it is either a striking success 

 or a flat failure. 

 Consider, then, how well the genus Iris fulfills 

 this requirement. Do you want a bold splash 

 of color that can be seen a block away? Or a 

 refined pastel effect that will look positively 

 ethereal on a misty morning? You can have 

 either — or both, with Iris. 



CHIVALRY As an individual llower or when viewed in a 

 clump this celebrated blue rates a front rank position. It is a 

 Dykes Medal winner — the highest award possible for any Iris — 

 and has won prizes in shows lime alter time both here and abroad. 

 Blue Iris provide the periect complement for the yellows, whites, 

 creams and pinks. They reflect the blues of the sky . . . 

 a garden is lost without blue! Chivalry is now plentiful and is 

 priced at only a dollar.
