OLD ROSE (Salbach 1949). ((Marauita x 
Monadnock) x Dark Knight.) Large, 
beautiful old rose self except the falls 
shade to a soft cardinal near the haft. 
Blooms of excellent form and fine sub- 
stance, are held high above the foliage. 
The stems are branched a bit high, other- 
wise the introductory price would have 
been very much higher. Notwithstanding 
this technical fault, we consider Old Rose 
a very outstanding iris. Early. Mid-season. 
NA Sea er ee ha nS ee $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
ORANGE FLAME (Salbach 1940). (Copper 
‘Lustre x Radiant.) Large blooms in bril- 
liant shades of golden orange and copper. 
Standards are burnished golden orange 
and remain closed through the life of the 
flower. The semi-flaring falls are bril- 
liant coppery red. 
_ Ideal plant growth, tall, well-branched 
stems, large flowers of heavy substance. 
We consider this one of our best iris.

ORLOFF (H. P. Sass). Medium size plicata 
with delightful color combination. The

acter. Mid-season. 30”....75c; 3 for $2.00 
GRMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937). One of the

domed, falls semi-flaring, broad and 
round. Substance is very heavy, with- 
standing heat and rain. Good grower,

PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig). A very tall, 
stately iris of palest blue—a shade lighter 
than Shining Waters. By far the best of 
its shade, and will bloom in the East, al- 
though it needs special protection to 
winter well where the climate is severe.

PINK OPAL. Tallest of the lavender pinks, 
this variety has the technical fault of its 
attractive blooms being a bit close to- 
gether. The color is more on the pink than 
the lavender side. Very effective when

PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939). Many 
iris experts consider Prairie Sunset the 
last word in iris. A magnificent iris well 
named for it has a combination of colors 
that remind one of a glowing sunset, a 
blending of pink, apricot and gold, with a 
glow that makes it bright and rich. Here 
is what one of the most competent East- 
ern judges says: “This is the finest color I 
have seen in an iris.” In addition to its 
glorious color, Prairie Sunset possesses all 
the other good qualities to make it a top 
ranking iris. Mid-season, 30”........ $5.00

blend from France. Standards slightly
