borne on tall, splendidly branched 
stalks. It is perfectly hardy and blooms

MATULA (H. P. Sass 1939) M.L. 39 in. 
The color of the flower is magnificent, a 
brilliant medley of rich red and orange 
gold. The broad, well-domed standards 
are of apricot buff flushed with Congo 
pink, the wide and semi-flaring falls are 
of deep Indian Lake, edged with buff. 
The edges of all the petals are delicately 
crimped after the manner of Midwest 
Gem, its full sister. This unique, 
crimped edge is something absolutely 
new in iris and it not only adds charm 
but substance and lasting qualities to 
the flower. The stalks are tall and 
beautifully branched, the plants very 
vigorous and hardy, blooming freely 
each year. $25.00
