OFFERINGS OF 1937 
PADISHAH (Yellow Seedling X W. R. Dykes) 
The plant grows rapidly and blooms freely. 
As a first year plant it had five blooming stalks, 
each 40 inches tall. The blooming stems are 
small but wiry and strong, always erect. 
Branching is excellent. The flower is large and 
well shaped, Falls gracefully flaring. The color 
is amber yellow, about the same as the old 
variety Amber. No traces of purple have ap¬ 
peared in the Falls, so it seems to be a true 
medium yellow. Beard is bright orange. Time 
of blooming is early mid-season. At the Nash¬ 
ville Iris Show of 1936 a silver cup was award¬ 
ed to Padishah as the best iris developed in 
Nashville and not commercially introduced at 
that time. $ 15.00 
MARVELOUS (Derived from a seedling of com¬ 
plicated pedigree X Desert Gold) 
This iris has been an outstanding feature of 
my garden for several years. Its name is the 
adjective most frequently used to describe it by 
admiring visitors. The general garden effect of 
the flower is a deep yellow, but at the base the 
Falls show several lines of deep red. It is in 
no sense a Variegata, but neither is it a pure 
yellow, though the garden effect discloses only 
the one color. The plant growth is vigorous, 
the flower is unusually large, stem is 40 inches 
tall. Few clumps of iris attract more attention 
than Marvelous. $ 15.00
