DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $3.00 



Huge golden pink, with slight undertone of copper. The flowers are 

 well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi-flaring, 

 but there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. The name 

 is most appropriate. Daybreak has a^proud record: HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM, 1943; runner-up for Dykes Medal in 1945; TIED FOR DYKES 

 MEDAL IN 1 946. We have fine rhizomes this year, and lots of them.

 purple, with perfectly formed blossoms of very large size. Brownish 

 suffusion at the haft, with deep bronze beard. HM AIS, 1941; 

 AM, 1942.

DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A great heavy flower of deepest blockish bronze-purple, the beard 

 rich golden bronze. From New Zealand, and credit is due the

 such on outstanding Iris. It has all good pointS' — excellent form, tall 

 stems, and succeeds everywhere. 



DISPLAY (Grant, 1942) Each $3.00 



One of the darkest and richest reds we have ever bloomed in our 

 garden. Almost black in certain lights, it glows with a hidden fire 

 in others. Described as Spanish red, shading to deep maroon, it has 

 but little of the purple influence in it. No veining at the haft; 

 yellow beard flecked brown. About 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1942.
