the sun, shining through the mist at dawn? None — except Sunmist

same, around a center that is lavender-flushed, with a hint of brown. 
An extremely lovely iris with a perfect shape. 37". $.50

no artificial powder to enhance its charm; this iris has that same

tering orange, slightly tanned; the falls a rich red-brown with mar¬ 
gins of orange. 32". H.M. '36. $.85 
SWEET ALIBI (White '35) Too sweet for words, even the sweetest 
lullaby! You'll just have to accept this Sweet Alibi without question, 
it's such a deep sparkling cream, with a hint of deeper yellow at 
the heart. The proportion, grace and charm of the wide, rounded 
petals need no alibi, they are so perfect. 36". H.M. '36. $1.00 
SYLVIA LENT (Shull '33) Sylvia, the blue boys are crazy over 
you, you are so charming amongst them. Your golden yellow and 
white beauty brightens and brings out the blues. The firmness of 
your maize yellow top and the white trimmed, yellow, flaring skirt is 
enticing. 36". $.50

with a black sheen on the velvety falls. 36". $1.00 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres '32) Is the largest phcata we have yet 
seen. Picture a pretty girl dressed in white with lavender edgings, 
wearing a broad brimmed garden hat, which is also white, edged 
with lavender, — so large that it flops in the gentle breeze. Can 
anyone resist her? 42". $.50

praise thee highly. Because you are both good and tall, because you

chieftain among the red irises — so huge, so red, so towering! A 
dark red self of exceptionally fine substance, with silky rounded 
standards and velvety flaring falls, and a gold beard on a broad 
haft of almost solid brown. Branching is a bit high, but "wide and 
handsome." 42". $20.00 
THISTLEDOWN (Sturt. '33) White, with a very pale pink flush on 
the standards and edges of the falls. Light, eury and dainty; plant it 
where the breeze carries it, for it blends with everything. A fine fast 
grower and very floriferous. 36". $.50

so much discussed in recent years. The rounded standcirds 
have a yellow ground, almost entirely suffused with lilac, 
except on the edges. The semi-flaring falls also show the yel¬ 
low edges, and are more lightly dotted with a deeper lilac. Low, 
wide branching combine with fast growth and plenty of bloom, to 
make this an excellent iris. 38". H.M. '38. $10.00

but a big red iris that will bowl you over with its tan standards and 
brilliant bronze-red falls of heavy substance. 36". $.50

ada. It is the earliest of Dr. Kirkland's coppers to bloom. The gold¬ 
en-tan standards are rose flushed, the falls are shaded red. The whole 
flower has copper throughout the center. 36". $1.50

precious treasure. We do not wish to say too much, for even we hate 
to part with this pot of gold. Broad domed standards of pure gold, 
vrith broad semi-flaring fedls of the same, but lighter in the center. 
A rich orange beard gives added value to this treasure. Large and 
tall. $7.50

eastern redmen. His upper part is a deep bronzy plum of silky tex¬ 
ture, with a dark wire edge, while the lower part is a rich velvety 
mahogany. He has an old gold beard; is large, strong, superb. 36". 
H.M. '35. $1-00
