Maple Valley Iris Gardens 
QUADROON (Williams 1937) M. 38 in. 
A clear toned and brilliant variegata with 
standards of golden tan and falls of bright 
coppery red. It glows in any planting 
and causes much favorable comment. A 
strong, hardy iris with free blooming 
habits. R. 88, 1938. $5.00 
RED COMET (McKee 1936) M. 40 in. A 
large, deep coppery red self with a ma¬ 
hogany undertone, giving a rich red 
brown effect in the garden. The plant is 
vigorous, the branching good, the bloom¬ 
ing habits excellent. H. M. 1935. Per. 
R. 89, 1938. $5.00 
RED RADIANCE (Grinter 1932) M. 38 
in. Redder and brighter than Dauntless 
but not quite as large, one of the very 
best garden reds. Growth, branching, 
stalk and blooming habits are all fine.

RED ROBE (Nich. 1932) M. L. 36 in.

blooming. The blooms are large, well

ROSY WINGS (Gage 1935) M. 40 in. A 
smooth, beautiful blend that is always 
greatly admired in our garden. Its daphne 
pink to helebore red tones are evenly 
blended with a warm brown tint that 
softens but does not dull the effect. In 
form, height, branching and growth it is 
most worthy of recommendation. H. M. 
1934. A. M. 1936. Per. R. 89, 1937. $7.00

RUBEO (M. M. 1931) M. 48 in. Still one 
of the finest reds for both garden and 
show bench. The standards are rose red, 
the falls of deep velvety maroon; the

ing habits. Dykes Medal, England, 1935.

SANDALWOOD (H. P. Sass 1937) L. 34 
in. A soft, creamy brown iris of rare

gracefully carried on tall, well branched 
stems. The plant is strong, hardy and 
floriferous. R. 90, 1938. $5.00 
SANDIA (Wmsn.) E. M. 38 in. A warm, 
luscious blend of pink and yellow—re¬

cately finished but of good substance. 
Well branched stems and good vigorous 
growth. R. 86, 1937. 75c 
SEDUCTION (Cay. 1933) M. 40' in. This 
is a most unusual plicata—the lavender 
markings having a distinct pink effect. 
The flowers are large and shapely, the 
color clear and fresh on the white back¬ 
ground. The plant is hardy here and 
blooms quite freely, with tall, well 
branched stalks. C. M., France, 1933. A.

SHINING WATERS (Essig 1933) E. M. 
36 in. A clear and lovely pure blue self 
like the reflection of the sky in shining 
waters. The firm, waxlike texture, per¬ 
fect finish and poise make this an out¬ 
standing beauty. Semi-tender here but 
worth protection. H. M. 1934. A. M. 
1935. Per. R. 91, 1937. 50c
