TENAYA (Essig, 1933). One of the best of 
the many rich, velvety, dark purple seifs which 
have attracted so much attention in the orig¬ 
inator's garden during recent years. The color 
is a rich raisin-purple with iridescent reflec¬ 
tions, the standards changing somewhat to 
dull auricula purple. There is an aniline beard 
and old gold at the bases of the stylets which 
light up the interior as by a lamp. The sub¬ 
stance is certainly up to the highest standards. 
It is of sturdy Modoc and Cardinal parentage.

there is no Iris more beautiful and distin¬

stance is thick and firm. The ground color of 
the conic standards is bronze-gray with lav¬ 
ender reflections which grow deeper and more 
beautiful with age. In a newly-opened flower 
the undertone of the broad flaring falls is 
bronzed tan flushed and veined Petunia Violet

substance and branching could not be im¬ 
proved. H. M. A. I. S_ Each $5.00
