CAN IRIS SOCIETY, 1936. A 1935 introduction, and 
without a question of doubt the largest and finest 
"Plicata" introduced to date. An entirely different 
form from San Francisco, having straight hanging 
falls, giving excellent garden effect. The flowers are 
larger than San Francisco, better formed than 
Theodolinda, and beautifully marked, being pure 
glistening white, evenly marked with blue. Wasatch 
is the NUMBER ONE "PLICATA". 6.50 
Waterfall —40 in. This variety is aptly named, as the 
delightful pearly toned Iris, with just a very soft 
touch of bluish-lavender, reminds one of the colors 
of a waterfall. 3.50 
Wedgewood —42 in. A delightful rich, uniform 
Wedgewood China" blue, of uniform color through¬ 
out. Fine for a blue mass effect in the garden. .15

purple bi-color that is perfect in every way. It seems 
to bring a new touch of added brilliance into this 
type. S—soft clear lavender-violet; F—velvety, flar¬ 
ing, rich hyacinth-violet. A superb Iris in every 
way. |.5o

with a brilliant golden beard. A flower of perfect 
form and finish, a prodiqious bloomer and one of 
the most satisfactory for mass effect in the 
garden.15

this type.75

deepest midnight blue, black in effect from a distance 
of a few feet. Very handsome. 5.00 
Woodland —48 in. FRAGRANT. A magnificent mauve

formed, on tall erect stems.15 
W. R. Dykes —40 in. EARLY. Famous yellow, much 
used for breeding and the first of the huge yellow 
toned Iris to put in its appearance. Most of the 
other new large yellows owe their size to W. R. 
Dykes, in fact it still is without a peer in its delight¬ 
ful crepy texture, broad straight hanging falls and 
stunning garden effect. In some seasons, and under 
some conditions of climate, it develops faint lavender 
spots on the falls, but this does not mar the beauty 
of the flower, but rather adds to its attractiveness.
