DAY’S FAREWELL (Milliken) 
A seedling of the beautiful China Maid, this iris carries the fine qualities of its illustrious 
parent into a distinctly different color range. The standards are very large and tall and are a 
uniform rose-lavender. The long, hanging falls are a deeper rose-lavender than the standards 
and are overlaid at the center with brown, with a distinct pale margin at the edge. 
Because o f the unusually large size of the flowers and the vigorous growth of the plants, 
Day’s Farewell soon produces a mass of beautiful bloom, making it an excellent landscape 
iris. A midseason bloomer. Height 3 x /l to 4 feet. $10.00 
IVORY QUEEN (Milliken) 
In recent years there have been a number of excellent yellow irises introduced to 
commerce, but the creams seem to have been neglected. It is a pleasure, therefore, to intro¬ 
duce Ivory Queen. The flowers are exceptionally large and are a uniform soft cream, with 
a bright orange beard, giving a pleasing accent to the center of the flower. The falls are 
wide and flaring and the substance and texture of the flower leave nothing to be desired. 
Ivory Queen is a vigorous iris with fine foliage and is an early to midseason bloomer. 
The stems are well branched and grow to a height of from 3^2 to 4 feet. It has not yet been 
tested in the colder climates for hardiness. $10.00 
KING’S RANSOM (Milliken) 
For the past two seasons, visitors have consistently selected this seedling as the finest 
yellow in our garden. It is deeper and brighter than either Lady Paramount or Happy Days 
and is also larger and taller. The outstanding characteristic that sets this iris apart from other 
yellows, however, is the fact that both standards and falls are beautifully frilled and wavy. 
This quality must be seen to be fully appreciated. 
King’s Ransom is a midseason bloomer, an extremely vigorous grower, and should be 
perfectly hardy in the severe climates. Height 4 feet. $15.00 
NOEL (C. G. White) 
Pure in color and near perfect in every respect is this handsome white iris. It is a warm 
white, being faintly suffused with cream and lighted in the center with a bright golden beard. 
The texture is like satin and the heavy, firm substance enables the flowers to withstand the 
most severe weather. 
Noel is a tall iris with strong, well-branched stems and heavy luxuriant foliage. Those 
who admire the perfection of Easter Morn will find here an iris similar in shape of flower 
and habit of growth, but a little more toward the cream than the pure white. $10.00 
YOUNG APRIL (C. G. White) 
Here is another of Mr. C. G. White’s wide crosses and a distinct addition to the group 
introduced two years ago. Young April should be classed as a table iris, for its dainty charm 
must be observed at close range and is apt to be overlooked in a garden dominated by 
larger and bolder irises. As a cut flower, it is indeed a gem. 
The standards are a bright violet rather distinctly veined and the falls are a deeper 
violet, veined with blackish purple and flushed with brown. The center of the flower reveals 
a golden brown beard and styles of rich copper bronze lightly flushed with violet. The 
slender 12-inch stems are well-branched for this type of iris and the foliage is more slender 
and grasslike than the regular bearded irises. An early bloomer. $2.50
