GIANT KING (Sass, 1931), 32 inches. A specimen plant of this was 
sent to me by Sass in 1927. When it flowered I was so much 
impressed with it that I bought the entire stock and asked 
Mr. Sass to permit me to name and introduce it. It is of the 
Iris King type, but of gigantic size, being as large as Am- 
bassadeur or larger, therefore I named it “Giant King.” The 
standards are fawn, softly suffused rose and the falls are 
wine red, with a throat that is prominently veined over a white 
ground out to the tip of the orange beard. It is a flower of 
perfect form and good substance. $5.00 each 
GOLDEN CROWN (Wayman, 1931), 24 inches. This very charming 
“variegata” seedling has been greatly admired by all who have 
seen it. The standards are of pure amber coloring and the 
brilliant velvety falls are of violet crimson. The standards are 
open cup shaped displaying a beautiful throat and bright amber 
styles; the flaring falls are of solid color, without the typical 
lighter edge. There is a brilliant golden beard and the throat 
is white, beautifully veined. It is a perfect gem and a brilliant 
bit of color for the front of the border. $25.00 each 
GOLDILOCKS (Wayman, 1930), 36 inches. VERY FRAGRANT. In 
searching for a name that would be descriptive and appropriate 
for this most charming variety I could think of nothing more 
suitable than the golden-haired Miss whose name I have ap- 
propriated for the purpose. It is one of the most fragrant of 
all Irises. The standards, falls and styles are of a uniform soft 
yellow, of unusual tone, with a lustrous silky sheen and the 
smoothest texture imaginable. It is much more stylish looking 
than any other yellow Iris I have ever seen, and is a very large 
flower of perfect form, nicely branched on 36-inch stems, the 
flowers being beautifully poised and nicely placed. It also has 
the advantage of being very early, coming about ten days 
ahead of the regular season, and I believe that choice varieties, 
blooming either ahead of the regular season or after the season, 
are of special value in prolonging the Iris season. Besides bloom- 
ing quite early, it continues right through the season until most 
of the others have finished flowering, continuing in bloom for 
a full four weeks in my garden this past season. It is a rugged 
hardy grower, which is something that cannot be said of many 
of the yellows, and is a champion propagator and a profuse 
bloomer. It is most handsome as an individual or exhibition 
flower and makes a wonderful garden clump, attracting atten- 
tion from all parts of the garden. It seems to have every good 
quality to recommend it, being quite unlike any other yellow 
Iris. The Iris that nearest approaches it in color and form is 
Aliquippa, which was awarded the American Iris Society Silver 
Medal, but it is fully twice as large as Aliquippa and is superior 
in every other way. $50.00 each
