branched stalks. 35 in. $10.00 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith 1940) M. A gleaming Brad¬ 
ley’s violet self that has an especially finished appearance due to the 
complete absence of venations of any other color. Broad roundly 
domed standards and very wide falls with a strong flush of bronze at 
the haft which intensifies the glossy smoothness of the flower. Beard 
cool yellow. The flowers are large with a crisped finish that gives 
a subtle exotic touch such as we find in many Oncocyclus hybrids.

WHITE PRINCE (G. Douglas 1940) M. L. An iris of warm 
white with the translucent finish of Italian alabaster. The well 
domed standards are cream white with a very light chrome yellow 
edging. The falls are arched and flaring, of the same color as the 
standards with a slightly deeper flush of cream on the wide haft. 
The very broad rich chrome yellow beard stands out in glowing con¬ 
trast to the smooth firm whiteness of the flower. The ten or more 
firmly rounded flowers are evenly placed on four branched stalks 
with the unusual feature of the lower branch being rebranched.

YOUTH’S DREAM (Carpenter 1940) M. All rose and glowing 
gold, this lovely iris has the roseate coloring of our dreams in happy 
care free youth, and this name seems very fitting for such a lustrous 
flower. The firmly arched standards are rosy red with a strong flush 
of gold at the midrib. The strong semi-flaring falls are velvety 
rose with a slight suffusion of lavender just below the beard. The 
beard is deep yellow, the hafts and center of the flower are so 
strongly golden that the whole flower glows like a signal light. Tall, 
well branched- and very freely flowering, this iris will be a welcome 
addition to any garden. 38 in. $10.00
