SPARKLING FROST (Milliken) 
As the name suggests, this iris glistens and sparkles in the sun- 
light. The cool clean flowers of uniform blue-white are of good size 
and are carried on 4-foot well-branched stems. An early bloomer. 
SPRING DANCE (Milliken) be cine 
This is a refreshingly beautiful iris, with superb flowers carried 
high on giant 4 to 5-foot stems. The color effect is a fresh uniform 
light lavender faintly suffused with golden yellow. An orange 
beard that deepens to a brilliant glow at the center of the flower 
gives a warmth to the yellow sulfusion. Recommended for the 
milder climates. $2.00 
SPRING SECRETARY (C. G. White) 
The colors of this iris are smoothly blended with standards ap- 
proaching the color of chamois blended with tints of light lilac. The 
ground color of the falls appears to be old gold shaded lilac with 
tawny olive in the haft and tints of Mikado brown. The beard is 
bright yellow. All of this tells little of the true loveliness of this 
flower as words cannot describe such a beautiful blend of clean 
pure colors. Firm, rounded petals carried pleasingly on a 39-inch 
stalk with three branches, produce a flower of superb form. $15.00 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland) 
Of rare coloring with its standards of light golden tan and its falls 
slightly darker flushed with olive and possessing a velvety finish.
