EVELYN BENSON, (Murrell, 1931). 
This glorious Iris was one of the 
most outstanding novelties in England 
last year. It is almost self colored, 
a uniform rosy carmine, slightly 
suffused bronze, without reticulation. 
Beard white, tipped yellow. It might 
be described as a larger, more richly 
colored Imperator. 3 9 in. Silver 
Medal, London, 1931. $7.50 
EVOLUTION, (Cayeux, 1929). This is 
a marvelous new Iris of coppery 
bronze shades; frilled standards. It 
is for all purposes a self, but a central 
zone of rosy-blue or pigeon throat 
like on the falls adds to its beauty. 
A rare and beautiful color. 3 6 in.

highly recommend this as a fine pink 
garden subject. 36 in. $2.50
