with arched standards and flaring falls, with deeper haft markings. To 
survive where Lady Paramount fails. 38". H.M. '39. $2.25 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (J. Sass '38) Delightful in pinkish tones, 
made up from the charming pink iris, No-we-ta, and the Talisman 
rose iris, Clara Noyes. This iris has, an Iowan writes, "an indescribable 
translucent quality that is most appealing." $2.50 
MUSSOLINI A huge deep blue-purple iris with long falls, heavily 
veined with white at the haft. Striking. 36". 50* 
NANCY RUFF (Kin. '35) The blue of sweet violets. 36". 35*

the blue of the sky enriched by cool deep waters. A sprite — large, 
broad, flaring, and with a creamy throat. 38". $1.25 
NARANJA (Mitch. '35) Orange in color, startling in effect, and 
gorgeous in the garden. Marvelous large blooms with standards of 
a glowing orange; and similar falls with bronze flushed edges — this 
iris is very popular. 38". A.M. '37. $1.50 
NARONDA (Hall '34) "Blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue! I 
adore this self, dressed in a satin cloak, so wonderfully heavy in 
material, so shimmering in sparkling sheen, and with edges so 
gracefully waving — soft, not stiff, but firm on tall slender stalks. 
Altho' this iris seems to have missed much comment in writing, you 
should hear its praises sung in our garden." (Mrs. G.H.K.) 44". 50*

ings. Hardy. 38". 75*

of pale yellow and rich reddish brown. Very jaunty. What little 
veining there is on the haft is cleverly hidden by the beard. 30". $2.00 
ORLOFF (H. Sass '38) Fireworks are bursting into a moonlit sky — 
red rockets shoot out giving great form. So this plicata, whose petals 
are yellow flushed heavily (almost venatious) with reddish brown and 
with a white area in the falls where the haft ends, seems a rocket 
indeed. 36". H.M. '37. $10.00

you. It is a unique blue-grey blend, made up of bluish violet with a 
beautiful pinkish sheen, like a mountain top at sunset. A most novel 
coppery brown haft. Considered a "best" in form, carriage, sub¬ 
stance, and all-over proportion. 36". A. M. '38. $1.00

beard; branching is low but not wide; growth is rapid and there are 
quantities of blooms. Early. 38". $10.00

with its bright golden tan standards and bright red violet falls. Large

yellow showing through them — most charming effect. 32". 25*

shiny copper tan on top and rose copper below, enlivened with much 
yellow underlay giving a coral velvet effect. Tall, well-poised and 
vigorous like most Indians. 40". H.M. '36. 75* 
ORIANA (H. Sass '33) "Our favorite white of medium height" — 
there is a pure marble surface on these large full flowers, with

strong and sturdy. 32". H.M. '33. 50*

beard, wide haft and smooth texture. Stands out well in the garden 
in spite of its light tones. 42". Very late. $10.00
