Kirkland Introductions of Previous Years 
ANDREW JACKSON: Early, red vio- 
let, large, vigorous. 36 in. 20¢ 
ASHES OF ROSES (Kirkland 1940) A 
fine upstanding iris, somewhat of Do- 
minion carriage, of a most pleasing 
rose-gray tone throughout. This is the 
iris of which Mrs. Kirkland thinks so 
much, because her mother had a dress 
of the same beautiful ‘‘ashes of roses” 
color when she was a little girl. 36 in., 
strong grower with heavy substance. 
$5.00 
AT DAWNING: M. 36 in. This is one 
of the most attractive and unusual flow- 
ers in the garden. There is nothing else 
even similar to it—a pink amoena— 
H.M., 1936. 50¢ 
AZTEC: A sister of Copper Lustre, and 
so a member of a fine family. The 
flower is golden tan and velvety red.

ing rounded form and medium height.

BRONZE IMAGE (Kirkland 1940) Se- 
lected by dozens of judges and visitors 
as a most worthy addition to the bright 
bronze toned irises for which Dr. Kirk- 
land has become justly famous. It is 
tall and stately and its two tones of 
brilliant red and gold bronze certainly 
dominated the garden last year. Quite 
distinct from the earlier Indian-named 
varieties introduced by Dr. Kirkland. 
$7.50 
BURNISHED GOLD (Kirkland 1940) A 
deep golden yellow self with a rich 
orange beard. This Dr. Kirkland con- 
sidered the finest of the many fine yel- 
lows that bloomed for him in 1938 and 
1939. He gave Mrs. Whiting of Maple- 
ton, Iowa, the privilege of naming it 
and she selected this very descriptive 
name. Fine semi-flaring shape, tall and 
vigorous. A rich iris indeed. $15.00 
CARDINAL RED: Bright red. 30 in. 
50¢ 
CARISSIMA: Soft creamy blend. 34 
in. 25¢ 
CONESTOGA: A justly popular copper 
colored iris. Standards are gold and 
copper; the falls a gleaming red-copper. 
The petals are broader than are those of 
some of the other “coppers” and the 
blooms are carried on strong stems, low 
and widely branched. $1.50 
COPPER LUSTRE: A glowing copper 
and gold blend shot with iridescent col- 
ors. It is impossible to give an ade- 
quate description of this distinctive and 
unusual iris. H.M., A.LS. 1935. A.M., 
I.A.S. 1937. Dykes Medal 1938. 36 in.
