RUBY RING 
(Giridlian 1942) 
Our first Tall Bearded Iris introduction 
and for that reason we are making sure 
that it is a meritorious one, aS we are 
staking our- reputation on it. It is not a 
very large flower but is well formed and 
of good substance, holding its shape even 
_ during rainy weather. The standards are 
a blending of -violet with a yellow under- 
tone. Falls a real ruby color that is very 
rich, a bit lighter around the edges. Beard 
vivid cadmium. The center of the flower 
has an area of old gold which suggests 
the name of Ruby set in Gold. The stem 
is branched above the middle and is over 
36 inches high. In our garden it flowers 
regularly four times a year. The parent- 
age is Indian Chief X Lady Paramount. 
$10.00 each.
