substance, vigor, and branching. Yes, beauty and form indeed

GOLDEN HIND *** (Chad. ’34) butter yellow, 32”. 65c¢ 
A rich, deep yellow of medium large size, heavy substance, hori- 
zontal falls, and a bright orange beard—a self that shines and 
would be a four star iris, save sometimes the flower does not open 
fully, giving a rather pinchy appearance. But for intensity of color 
and garden value it ‘Shore ‘nuff beats all’’. A.M. 37. P.R. 90.

passed’’ blooms.

stance.’ H.M. 40. 

GOLDEN TREASURE **** (Schr. ‘36) cream and gold, 36’. $1.10 
Would we could share this treasure with everyone! The creamy 
yellow is shimmering in silkiness, and radiating in the subtle in- 
fusion of a golden light throughout the heart of the flower. And 
the rich cream petals are gloriously edged with a golden yellow, 
and there’s a wealthy orange beard. Huge flowers and per- 
fectly branched stems—absolutely an A No. 1 Cream. A.M, ‘38.

voted unofficially the most superior blue. 
GUDRUN *** (Dykes ’30) giant white blooms, 30”. 50c 
Such a favorite—so huge, so white—only because the large white 
blooms, dusted with gold at the throat, are a bit out of 
proportion to the 30’ stems do we not give it four stars. A.M. ‘36. 
GUYASUTA **** (Hall ‘31) deepest violet, 32°’ 35¢

HAPPY DAYS ** (Mit. ‘34) soft yellow, 40’’. 50c
