Lucerne 

Fair Elaine 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell). A two-toned yel- 
low that is in a class entirely by itself. 
One of the best English authorities says: 
“This I recommend to be the finest yellow 
I have yet seen, because it approaches a 
bi-color. The standards are palest prim- 
rose approaching white, the falls golden 
yellow paling at the base and the beard is 
bright orange. The form is very good and 
the stems are well branched. It is an iris 
which stands out from afar, and is in my 
opinion of greater garden value as a gar- 
den iris than the self yellows, however 
good their color maye be.” Originally sold 
for $35. Mid-season. 40” . .$3.50; 3 for $9.00
