SIERRA BLUE 
paling at the margins; the standards are clear pale lavender violet; 
and the beard is bright yellow. This color combination gives a 
garden effect that is most delightful. Good size and a4 vigorous 
grower. 3 feet. 715c; 3 for $2.00 
WINNESHIEK (Egelberg) 
A gigantic blue-black with ruffled petals and a pearly edge on 
the falls. Here is an iris that has suddenly sprung into prominence, 
and rightly so. You will be enthusiastic about its unusual style, its 
broad petals, and rich color; and will find it a valuable addition to 
your garden picture. 3 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
YOUNG APRIL (C. G. White) 
Here is another of Mr. C. G. White's wide crosses and a distinct 
addition to the group introduced two years ago. Young April 
should be classed as a table iris, for its dainty charm must be observed 
at close range and is apt to be overlooked in a garden dominated 
by larger and bolder irises. As a cut flower, it is indeed a gem. 
The standards are a bright violet rather distinctly veined and the 
falls are a deeper violet, veined with blackish purple and flushed 
with brown. The center of the flower reveals a golden brown 
beard and styles of rich copper bronze lightly flushed with violet. 
The slender 19-inch stems are well-branched for this type of iris 
and the foliage is more slender and grasslike than the regular bearded 
irises. An early bloomer. $1.50
