WINE GLORY 38". We have never groAvn an Iris in 
our commercial gardens which equals Wine Glory 
in the length of blooming season. Last year, it was 
one of the first to start blooming, and still bore 
blossoms when most of the other later flowering 
varieties had long since passed. The color of the 
flower is difficult to describe as it is neither a 
brilliant red, a purple, or even a red-purple blend. 
It is a combination of red, purple, violet, and some 
other shades which produce the same effect as 
when a glass of red wine is held between the eye 
and the light. An established plant bears more 
bloom stalks than any other variety Ave ever have 
groAvn. Our OAvn introduction. $3.00
