AL-LU-WEE, (H. P. Suss, 19 32). One 
of the new types of tall, large flower¬ 
ed variegatas. It approaches the 
Claude Aureau type, but is brighter 
in color and taller but not so large, 
although a big Iris. It gives a bril¬ 
liant effect due to the clean contrast 
between the standards which are of 
clearer coloring than most of the new 
large-flowered variegata types, and 
the solid colored falls. 40 in.. .$3.00 
AMBER WAVE, (Murrell, 19 30). A 
luminous amber yellow self suffused 
and shot with palest olive bronze. 
The falls have a lovely faint velvety 
violet blue flush at the haft. The 
whole flower has perfect proportion 
and balance, with very broad stand¬ 
ards and falls. 3 6 in. Certificate of 
Merit, London Show, 1930 .$2.50

purple, cupped, with maroon shad¬ 
ings; F. same, straight hanging, vel¬ 
vety. An exceedingly rich, dark self

uous from any position. A hardy 
free flowering variety that is sure to 
become very popular. 3 8 in.5 0c

ery substance. A favorite in our 
gardens. 36 in. $3.50

beautiful Iris. Same wonderful col¬ 
oring as Asia but with the more open

crimson purple, with a narrow, sharp¬ 
ly defined edging of buff, and a bril¬ 
liant yellow beard. Another of the

tions. 3 8 in. $5.00

some angles they are absolutely black. 
A sensational new Iris. 3 6 in. H.M., 
A.I.S., 1931.$5.00 
BLUE BANNER, (Kirkland, 19 29). S. 
pure light lavender blue, beautifully

SERVICE. We are glad to assist with advice about color com¬ 
binations and as to Iris suitable for certain locations. We urge 
all who can to visit our gardens during the coining season so as 
to select their own colors. During the weeks of bloom, the gardens 
are open Sundays to accommodate those who cannot come during 
the week.
