OUR INTRODUCTIONS (Cont'd) 
AMBER BEADS. ML; 40”. Golden amber. Open standards of 
medium yellow; down-falling falls of bronze-gold, washed brown, 
and occasionally flecked maroon; veining on light, ground prom- 
inent around beard at haft; conspicuous golden orange beard. 
Slightly fragrant, large flowers on good stalks. The amber color 
is unique and different, attracting the eye for yards distant. $1.00 
BLENDED BEAUTY. ML; 40’. Yellow-rose blend. Closed standards 
of yellow-buff, washed and veined deep rose; conspicuous vein- 
ing on white ground at haft; average appearing gold beard. Large 
blossoms on perfectly branched and exceptionally heavy stalks. 
This blended flower is considered to be a vastly superior variety 
of the Mary Geddes color class. 50c 
BLUE SKYSCRAPER (Nat’l.) E. 50". The outstanding characteristic 
of this lovely variety is its uniform height, placing it among the 
select group of very tallest iris. The stalks are particularly well- 
branched and bear quite large flowers whose. 8. are medium 
blue and whose F. are of the same color, but slightly tinged 
violet. The F. are semi-flaring with a beard of light gold. 50c 
BROWNGREY BLEND (Nat'l) M; 44”. Brown and gray. Closed 
standards and semi-flaring falls of brown-gray, with some vein- 
ing on yellow ground seen at haft. Slightly fragrant, large flowers 
on good stalks. We consider this variety to be the peer of dark 
blends. 50c 
CLARET VELVET. EM; 32”. Wine red. Closed standards of dark 
maroon-red; very velvety, flaring falls of dark maroon-red, with 
no veining whatever visible; inconspicuous burnt gold beard. 
Slightly fragrant, large flowers on short, well-branched stalks. 
This introduction is a deep, dark wine red self, the same color 
hue as a glass of claret wine. We never have seen an iris of 
anywhere similar color shading. $2.00 
EVOLVED. M; 48". Bronze-violet blend. Closed standards of 
bronze, suffused with violet; down-falling falls of light violet, 
edged bronze-brown; average appearing gold beard; brown vein- 
ing on amber ground conspicuous at haft. Slightly fragrant, large 
flowers on extra-good, tall stalks. $1.00 
FALL BEAUTY (Nat'l) 34’. Violet-bronze-brown blend. Slightly open 
standards of bronze-brown, lightly washed violet; semi-flaring 
falls of violet-blue, edged bronze-brown; petals are slightly 
crinkled; short gold beard. Slightly fragrant, good-sized flowers 
on well-branched stalks. Fall Beauty is the MOST DEPENDABLE 
TWCE-BLOOMER in existence, as well as ranking among the 
outstanding beauties of the garden. $5.00 

FIREBRAND. VL; 42’. Gold-red bicolor. Closed standards of dark 
golden-bronze, lightly washed red; very velvety, ruffled, down- 
falling falls of dark red, with no undertoning; red veining on 
prominent gold ground seen at haft; conspicuous bright orange 
beard. Strong, well-branched stalks bear seven large, non-fra- 
grant blossoms. This variety is particularly valuable because of 
its extreme lateness to bloom. $5.00 
FOREST AFLAME (Nat'l) VL; 35”. Standards closed; falls semi- 
flaring; inconspicuous orange beard; strong fragrance; ” size 
gigantic; extra well-branched stalks. This huge flower has stan- 
dards of bronze-brown, strongly suffused red, and falls of velvety 
chestnut red-brown. An excellent characteristic of this new orig- 
ination is its extreme lateness to bloom—flowering when nearly 
all other varieties have faded into memory. : $1.50 

ICY BLUE 
ICY BLUE. E; 50". Very light blue. Closed standards and flaring 
falls of very, very light blue; beard inconspicuous because of 
shortness. Slightly fragrant, gigantic flowers on tall, extra-good 
stalks. This one can not be classed as a bluish-white inasmuch 
as it is a pure very light blue and shows up as such even from a 
distance. It is the lightest blue-toned flower on the market, and 
as such it is a distinct and beautiful novelty. $3.00 
LAVENDER AND OLD LACE. E; 38’. Lavender-violet. Slightly open 
standards of lavender-violet; slightly ruffled, down-falling falls of 
deeper lavender-violet, displaying amber veining on yellow 
ground at haft; conspicuous orange beard. Slightly fragrant, large 
blossoms on strong, well-branched stalks. $1.00 
MICHELANGELO. EM; 43”. Dove-gray. Slightly open standards 
and semi-flaring falls of dark vinaceous dove-gray, with brown 
veining on amber ground seen at haft; inconspicuous, short 
orange beard. Slightly fragrant, gigantic flowers on good stalks. 
This variety was given an Honorable Mention award by the 
American Iris Society. 50c 
NATIONAL GIANT. M; 42’. Rose-violet. Closed standards of bronze- 
violet; rounded, down-falling falls of rose-violet, with violet vein- 
ing on conspicuous white ground seen at extreme haft; short, 
light inconspicuous beard. The heavy, strong, well-branched 
stalks bear eight to ten slightly fragrant, gigantic blossoms. 
Petals are of extra-heavy substance and flowers last a long 
period, even in hot sunlight. $10.00 

When Siegfried and Michelangelo bloomed this year. I got the big- 
gest thrill I ever did out of an iris. — MRS. GRACE GILMORE,
