PRAIRIE ROSE (Egel. '34) From "the boundless ineffable prairie'’ 
comes this pink rose with remarkable silver and tan high lights- 
36". SO* 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass '38) "Incredible" said Doc. Everett, 
as he first glimpsed this iris bloom. The color? There's some 
, fW jfK yellow, some pink, some gold and lots of copper, all blended 
together into a breath-taking Sunset. The rounded standards 
sparkle; the burnished flaring falls carry a long yellow beard and have 
a very broad haft, lightly veined with gold. The burnishing on the 
falls is almost salmon-orange, with a hint of rose at the tips. 40”. Late.

PRINCESS MARIGOLD (H. Sass-Whit. '39) How lovely you have 
blended pink and gold together early in the season! Your

most intriguing. 36". $3.00 
PROF. S. B. MITCHELL (Cay. '33) How tantalizing you are,

tainly make a hit with velvety coat tails flaring in spite of their heavy 
material. 34". 50* 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage '33) That's plain enough. The name says 
"Purple" and it is, all over; says "Giant" and it is huge. But the name 
does not say that it is a good grower and bloomer, as it is, — none 
better. Too little has been said about this wonderful purple iris.

tending from the heart of the flower into the falls. A deep yellow
