Iris was awarded the highest honor a va¬ 
riety can receive, the Dykes Memorial

saw this magnificent bronze-purple Iris in 
1936 in full bloom among some twenty or 
more of the world’s best new kinds, we 
instantly picked it out as a masterpiece Iris 
and each year as our stock of it increases

it increases. One of the best large, finely 
formed bronze-purples. A very heavy 
bloomer. 50 cents
