Marquita Each $0.50, D. 
: ! oz. $5. 
Given an Award of Merit by the American Iris Society in’ 1936 za 
Iris is so unusual and so beautiful that it is always wanted by everyone 
who sees it in bloom. It is a magnificent French introduction that has 
given us something entirely new in color. The huge flowers are of bril- 
liant smooth ivory, with an eggshell finish, with ruby lines running 
almost evenly from base to apex of the falls. As the flower ages, the 
center of the falls turns red, leaving a cream colored border. ‘ 
Mary Geddes Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00 
Winner of the Dykes Memorial Medal for 1936. Highest international 
honors, as the best Iris of the year. Also had the distinction of being 
an American introduction that received an Award of Merit in England 
where so many fine Irises are produced. The color is hard to describe, 
but it is one of the finest. An attempt at a description would be, a 
lovely blending of soft pink tones, overlaid Pomeranian red. This gives 
but a faint idea of its great beauty. There are 8 to 10 flowers to a 
stem and they are nicely branched. (Color illustration, page 38.)
