Maples’ Gardens Iris 
BIG MATT (35-40 x Venus de Milo) 
34-inch. Midseason. White with a considerable area of cream at 
haft and extending well out on falls. Bright yellow beard. Frag¬ 
rant. The large standards are held well together and the enormous 
falls are quite flaring. This has been the largest variety on our 
place and it has excellent substance. The heavy stalks are well 
branched and the season of bloom is well extended. It sets seed 
well and the pollen is fex-tile. It is not like either pai'ent in form 
nor size and is also quite distinct from the other seedlings in thi.=' 
cross. Possibly a seminal sport but at least an interesting 
break. $15.00 
MISSOURI MISS (Santa Barbara x Venus dc Milo) 
36-inch. Midseason to late. Very light frosty blue self. Orange 
beard. Fragrant. Shape of flower near Venus de Milo but better 
filled out and with much better substance. Holds it’s color well. 
Very floriferous. Thrifty gi'ow'er. $5.00 
Introductions, 1940 
TANEYCOMO (Santa Barbara x Souv. de Mme Gaudicliau) 
33-inch. Early to midseason. Radiant blue self, quite rich. Beard 
orange with blue tip. Flower very pleasing with standards coming 
together and falls semi-flaring; broad segments. Fragrant. Fertile 
breeder both ways. Like BIG MATT this is quite distinct fiom the 
other seedlings which came from the same pod. There were other 
blue ones but not like this in form. Named for the blue of our beau¬ 
tiful Lake Taneycomo in the Ozark Mountains . $10.00 
LATE NEWS (Cardinal x Autumn King) 
30-inch. Eaidy in Spring season and is a consistent and persistent 
autumn bloomer. Mr. Hall, who lives in Wilmette, north of Chicago, 
was kind enough to try this for us and it has been among the most 
willing of his autumn blooming varieties. It has always been a 
good autumn bloomer here in southwest Missouri. Color is a blue 
orchid. Stalk branches almost to the ground. Very sweet scented 
and a whiff of it in September or October is very heartening. Not 
like October Opera in color, form nor habit.$7.50

fuse bloomer and long season. Well branched stalk. As a breeder

“hedge Irises’’ none of which have been released to the trade.50
