Whiting Introductions for 19438 
GARDEN GLORY (Whiting 1943) (No. 4055) M. L. 33 in. A pure self of rich Bor- 
deaux red. This seedling made us very happy, for at last we have a flower of pure, 
deep, rich coloring with no haft venation—a real smoothie. From The Red Doug- 
las x Garden Magic, it combines the best qualities of both its parents. It was fun 
to see our guests, both garden visitors and iris judges, walk straight to it as to a 
magnet. Of medium size and height, it attracts and holds the attention of all 
because of its clear coloring, its classic form and its smoothly enameled finish.

THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) (No. 4110) M. 40 in. This glowing rose pink iris will, 
we think, be outstanding in any garden—even the garden for which it is named— 
“Three Oaks.” The color is deep, rich mallow pink with an overlay of rosy copper. 
It is classed as a ‘blend but it is almost a true rose pink self of splendid carrying 
quality. The blooms are very large with well domed standards and widely rounded, 
semiflaring falls. The plant is strong, hardy and vigorous, the stalk tall and well 
branched, carrying many buds. It blooms freely over a long period of time. $15.00 

VEISHEA (Whiting 1943) (No. 409) M. 82 in. A bright rosy copper blend with a 
clean blue blaze at the haft. Mr. Fishburn was in our garden the year this seedling 
first bloomed on a small plant. He said he wanted one for his garden whether it ever 
grew up or not because of its grand color. It did not grow quite as tall as we hoped 
it would but it developed a strong, well balanced stalk that carries the blooms with- 
out crowding. The flowers are large and full, of extremely heavy substance, and 
pure, rich coloring. It has wonderful landscape value and a long season of bloom. 
Because of its brilliance, we named it Veishea (pronounced vee-sha), the gay and 
colorful spring’ festival at Iowa State College. See Bul. 87, p. 28. H. C. 1942. 
R. 89, 1942. $10.00 
IOWA MAID (Whiting 1943) (No. 3952) M. 34 in. A charming flower of modest size 
and demeanor, but of excellent qualities. It is a distinct bicolor with standards of 
golden buff and falls of pure rose pink laid on so smoothly at the haft that it seems 
to have an enamel finish. The form of the flower is very pleasing, the standards 
are firmly domed and the falls flare crisply; the substance is exceptionally heavy. 
The stalk is of medium height, strong and well branched; the plant has excellent 
growing and blooming habits. $5.00 
JONQUIL (Whiting 1943) (No. 8975) M. L. 42: in. A two-toned yellow iris of dis- 
tinct personality. The colors are as clear and pure as those of a jonquil, yet the 
flowers are very large and carried on tall stalks. The basic color is light yellow 
and both the widely domed standards and rounded, semiflaring falls are cleanly 
edged with a deeper yellow. The long buds are like tapers. See Bul. 87, p. 52. The 
stalks are quite high branched but the huge ‘blooms are not crowded. It is most 
effective planted behind your favorite light blue iris or with long spurred columbine. 
The plants are very vigorous and hardy, blooming freely through the latter part of 
the season. R. 88, 1942. $5.00 
TA MING (Whiting 1943) (No. 4048) M. 35 in. A deep yellow iris with deeper, almost 
orange falls. If you liked Naranja you will enjoy this improved edition of it. The 
colors are purer and smoother, the flowers wider and of ‘better form and substance. 
It comes from Matula x Naranja and we like it so well that we are using it exten- 
sively in breeding. Strong hardy plants with excellent growing habits and many 
well branched bloom stalks. $5.00 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) (No. 4060) A deep blue purple self of outstand- 
ing character. The color is very close to that called Vatican Purple in the Diction- 
ary of Color. The texture is not velvety so that it neither fades nor spots; the 
substance is very heavy, giving the flowers a long lasting quality. The flowers are 
large, with cupped standards and wide, flaring falls. The strong, vigorous plants 
bloom freely and increase well. It comes from Missouri x Mata Hari. $5.00 
We will send one each of our seven 19438 introductions for $50.00. This special price 
does not entitle you to the extras as offered with orders from the regular catalog prices.
