Ethelwyn Dunbar— 38 in. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ONE OF THE 
THREE LARGEST AND FINEST PINK-TONED IRISES INTRODUCED

better than Imperial Blush and a deeper pink, and it is twice the 
size of Pink Satin. In form and tone it is entirely different 
from the others. Although a new Iris of superb quality, I have 
enough stock of it to offer it for sale at a very low price. 35
