German or Flag Iris 
Alta California Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
Holds its place as one of the most worth-while and sensational 
Iris grown. It is tallest of all the new yellow Iris, and its 
branching qualifies it for "A" rating either as an individual 
stalk or as mass bloom. Yellow Iris have long been recognized 
as being the “spark” that brings out the fullest beauty of any 
Iris garden, and Alta California serves this purpose to per¬ 
fection.

plant. Very fragrant, and a great achievement in breeding, as 
it is very nearly black.
