ASHES OF ROSES —A fine upstanding iris, somewhat of Domin¬ 
ion carriage, of a most pleasing rose-gray tone throughout. 
This is the iris of which Mrs. Kirkland thinks so much, because 
her mother had a dress of the same beautiful ‘‘ashes of roses” 
color when she was a little girl. 36", strong grower with 
heavy substance. $10.00 
BURNISHED GOLD —A deep golden yellow self with a rich 
orange beard. This Dr. Kirkland considered the finest of the 
many fine yellows that bloomed for him in 1938 and 1939. He 
gave Mrs. Whiting of Mapleton, Iowa, the privilege of naming 
it and she selected this very descriptive name. Fine semi- 
flaring shape, tall and vigorous. A rich iris indeed. $25.00 
BRONZE IMAGE —Selected by dozens of judges and visitors as a 
most worthy addition to the bright bronze toned irises for 
which Dr. Kirkland has become justly famous. It is tall and 
stately and its two tones of brilliant red and gold bronze cer¬ 
tainly dominated the garden last year. Quite distinct from 
the earlier Indian-named varieties introduced by Dr. Kirk¬ 
land. $15.00 
YELLOW WONDER —A clear, brilliant flower of superb shape 
and carriage; perfect branching and tall, straight stems. The 
color is lighter than Burnished Gold but still a fine, deep tone. 
Out of the many worthy yellow irises that were so much ad¬ 
mired Dr. Kirkland selected these two for introduction as 
being different and distinct. $20.00
