a bi-color. Very fine. 42 in.25c

CLAUDE AUREAU, (Cayeux, 1928). 
Up to the present, this splendid Iris 
marks the greatest progress in the 
variegata group. The standards of 
excellent form are greenish golden- 
yellow, making the most pleasing con¬ 
trast with the wide long falls of 
intensely rich Bordeaux wine color 
with a large margin of bronzy-gold. 
A giant in every way. 3 6 in. A. of
