MOUNT WASHINGTON *** (Essig ‘37) super white, 44’. $4.00 
Last year this iris received a coveted Award of Merit, and a fine 
official permanent rating of 90, and many say it is the BEST 
white to date. We, too would agree except for the fact thot it is 
not an especially floriferous bloomer with us, but blooms are as 
pure and fine as one can imagine, and we do adore it.

after color. With rather too broad segments to be classed as a 
four star iris, in other respects of new quality of tone, and fine 
floriferous growth, ‘’a real four starer.’’

cream.”

branched stems, and vigorous stalks. 
ORLOFF *** (H. Sass ‘37) reddish brown plicata, 36. $1.50 
Fireworks are bursting into a moonlit sky—red rockets shoot out 
giving great form. So this plicata, whose petals are yellow flushed 
heavily (almost venatious) with reddish brown and with a 
white area in the falls where the haft ends, seems a rocket 
indeed. i
