40 in. A very fine, large, pure white iris

fectly hardy but it blooms so heavily it 
cannot increase very fast. C. M., France, 
1932. A. M. 1937. R. 89, 1938. $2.50 
DORE’ (J. Sass) M. 37 in. This creamy 
white and yellow has the fres'h and lovely 
coloring of a daffodil. It is pronounced 
do-ray’ and means gilded. The standards 
are clear light yellow, the falls are 
creamy white, gilded with yellow at the 
edges. The plant is strong and blooms 
freely, the stalk is well branched. Per. 
R. 86, 1937. $1.50

flowers are large and full, Ihe stalk tall 
and well branched and the plant well 
behaved. R. 85, 1933. 50c 
DYMIA (Shuber 1936) M. 38 in. A large,

EASTER MORN (Essig 1931) M. 42 in. 
The all but perfect white iris, tall, grace¬ 
ful, beautifully formed and wonderfully 
branched. But alas it does not always

however, it is superb. Worth trying. H. 
M. 1931. A. M. 1933. R. 89, 1936. 50c

ELKHART (Lapham 1937) L. 38 in. A 
new and brilliant iris—a glorified King 
Tut—larger and even more glowing. A 
grand combination of golden brown and 
deep, fiery chestnut red, its well rounded 
flowers are carried proudly on widely 
branched stalks. Coming from King Tut 
and Ethel Peckham, its hardiness is un¬ 
questioned, and its growth vigorous. Not 
yet rated. $4.00 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 
38 in. A most refined and well groomed 
iris of rich, deep mahogany red, almost 
solid in color, even to a smooth dark

vidual in form and coloring. It does not

hardy and free flowering here. H. M. 
1936. Per. R. 88, 1938. $3.00 
From Iowa—All my older irises have been given away to parks and I now have 
only new varieties from your lists. What a difference it makes!
