COPPER LUSTRE 
This plant is the result of a long line of 
crosses following a promise of copper tone. Its 
pedigree would resemble a complicated alge¬ 
braic formula. The plant is healthy and hardy, 
and the flower has created a sensation when¬ 
ever seen. A cut made from a photograph was 
shown in Iris Bulletin, No. 46, with the following 
description (not my own): "The flower is large, 
of pleasing form, and unique color. Stalk 36 
to 40 inches tall, well branched, vigorous 
growth, foliage broad and heavy. The color 
effect is irridescent copper self, almost exactly 
the shade of a nearly new penny. The irri- 
descence is like a red-gold or copper powdering 
and the flower glows in a northern light." 
Orders for this variety will be booked now for 
delivery July 1, 1935, at thirty dollars, and a 
few roots will be sold this year at forty dollars. 
These will be single roots, and not the large 
rhizomes I have always been pleased to fur¬ 
nish my customers. $ 40.00
