JUNALUSKA; The stems are tall, three 
feet or more, and well branched. The 
beautiful flower is large, of conven¬ 
tional form; plant growth is healthy 
and vigorous. The color of the flower 
is its great distinction. It has been de¬ 
scribed as a rose, copper and gold blend. 
Threads of gold streak through the 
standards, and arrest attention. For 
seven years it has been singled out and 
admired by visitors in the garden. Run¬

MAGNETAWAN; The beautiful cop- 
perish-brown standards and the large 
vertical copper-red falls form fine 
blooms on good stalks. 36 in. 75^ 
MARVELOUS: This iris has been an 
outstanding feature of the garden for 
several years. Its name is the adjective 
most frequently used to describe it by 
admiring visitors. The general garden 
effect of the flower is a deep yellow, but 
at the base the falls show several lines 
of deep red. It is in no sense a Varie- 
gata, but neither is it a pure yellow, 
though the garden effect discloses only 
the one color. The plant growth is 
vigorous, the flower is unusually large, 
stem is 40 in. tall. Few clumps of iris 
attract more attention than Marvelous.

PADISHAH: The plant grows rapidly 
and blooms freely. As a first year plant 
it had five blooming stalks, each 40 in. 
tall. The blooming stems are wiry and 
strong, always erect. Branching is ex¬ 
cellent. The flower is large and well 
shaped, falls gracefully flaring. The 
color is amber yellow, about the same 
as the old variety Amber. No traces of 
purple have appeared in the falls, so it 
seems to be a true medium yellow. 
Beard is bright orange. Time of bloom¬ 
ing is early mid-season. At the Nash¬ 
ville Iris Show of 1936 a silver cup was 
awarded to Padishah as the best iris 
developed in Nashville and not com¬ 
mercially introduced at that time. $3.00
