MISSOURI (Grintner 1933) M. 44". This hand¬ 
some new iris has a beauty of coloring which 
makes it quite outstanding among the finest of 
blue bicolors. The large, well formed flowers are 
a medium tone of lavender blue; the falls are 
broad and flaring and of a slightly darker shade 
than the standards. While velvety in appearance, 
it has a thick substance and durable texture which 
is almost unequalled. The plant is hardy and a 
very profuse bloomer. The flowers have the deli¬ 
cate fragrance of the valley lily. A fine addition 
to the blue shades.

light. One of our favorite varieties.

MORNING GLORY (Kirkland 1929) M. 40". 
Large flowers of heavy substance and a most at¬ 
tractive combination of violet tones. Not to be 
confused with Morning Splendor, as it is much 
brighter of tone; in fact it is absolutely brilliant 
and its brilliancy is greatly enhanced by the glit¬ 
tering golden beard. A superb iris and will be for 
many years to come. $2.50
