KENWOOD IRIS GARDENS 
should find favor for border plantings and rock gardens, as low 
late varieties are scarce. It is a seedling of Montezuma. S. cream, 
F. semi-horizontal, pale yellow. All divisions are stippled brown, 
lighter in standards, and heavier in the falls .75c 
JACQUARD (Ayres-Emig. 1931)—34". This variety was selected from 
a group of dark red purple seedlings, because of the carrying qual¬ 
ity of its coloring. S. erect cupped, dark vinous mauve, with a 
bronze tone near the base. F. straight hanging, velvety dark violet 
purple with a red suffusion, and lighted by a deep orange beard. 
Brighter and redder than Seminole.35c 
KENWOOD (Ayres-Emig. 1932)—36". A blended variegata of beau¬ 
tifully smooth texture. S. buff yellow with a blending of pale sal¬ 
mon pink; F. rich velvety amaranth purple with narrow buff mar¬ 
gin. A Cardinal seedling . $1.75 
NANOOK (Ayres-Emig. 1932)—44". A fine creamy white of good 
form and heavy texture. The standards are overarched and closely 
held, a warm amber white at the center, deepening slightly at the 
edges and deeper at the base. The falls are slightly flaring, pure 
white, with coppery yellow haft veins. The effect is a fresh opaque 
color, not the transparent effect of most whites. The stiff cande¬ 
labra-like stems branch from the ground, generally having 4 to 6 
flowers open at once . $1.25 
NINGAL (Ayres-Emig. 1932)—46". Named after the Moon Goddess 
of the ancient Chaldeans. The domed standards are a pale bronzy 
yellow; the falls smooth and flaring of warm buff overlaid with iri¬ 
descent pale coerulean blue. The blue shade is deepest at the center 
of the blade, and gradually fades to a pale buff margin. The 
flowers are well proportioned and quite large. We believe it to be 
an outstanding variety. $ 3.00 
ROBERT (Ayres-Emig. 1933)—35". So named'in memory of our eldest 
and last son, who passed over late April, 1932. Because of his in¬ 
tense love and interest in Iris, we felt it a fitting tribute to name an 
Iris to perpetuate his memory. Robert had a cheery disposition and 
a truly fine character, and so this seedling, by its golden color, re¬ 
flects these qualities. S. domed, overarched, pale amber with a 
golden cast, and a flush of lemon yellow at the base; F. flaring, with 
pale azure blue flush in the center of the blade; overlaid with gold¬ 
en amber, pale at the bottom and much deeper in color at the sides. 
The haft is cream, closely veined deep straw yellow. Beard deep 
golden yellow. The flower is over 5 inches in length and has broad 
divisions. A beautiful light yellow, with a sparkling iridescence in 
the sunlight. The light blue flush on the falls provides just the 
right contrast in color. One parent is Tuscany Gold, and, in addi¬ 
tion, it has Dominion strain on both sides, so that the flowers have 
heavy substance and good form. The stems branch widely half way 
up. As a means of comparison, we found that Pluie D’Or was 
about one-third its size. It should hold its own for years to come.
