The roots of Icy Blue and Claret Velvet came yesterday and I was 
Surprised at the size and weight of them. I have bought iris all around 
the country, but never has anyone sent me such a plant as Claret Velvet 
and the other one was about as good.—FRANK C. WRIGHT, Monti- 
cello, Ind. 


OUR INTRODUCTIONS (Cont'd) 
PINK IMPERIAL (Nat'l) EM; 50’. Standards closed; falls down-fall- 
ing; beard inconspicuous. We believe this one to be the finest 
pink iris yet originated. There are never less than seven blossoms 
to a stem and stalks never grow less than 45” tall in our garden— 
often reaching 52”. Both standards and falls are self colored of 
light blush pink. Two-year-old clumps present a striking mass 
of this vivid coloring. $2.00 
PORCELAIN BEAUTY. M; 31". Cream-white. Closed standards of 
cream-white; down-falling falls of cream-white, with much gold 
veining at haft; conspicuous orange beard. Gigantic flowers on 
rather short stalks. Petals are the delightful shade of old porce- © 
lain. This variety is the very best of the low-growing warm whites 
so greatly needed in front of the border. $1.00 
PRINCE AMBA. L; 48". Yellow. Closed standards of pure medium 
yellow; down-falling falls of yellow, delicately veined dark rose 
throughout and heavily veined at haft; average appearing gold 
beard. Large flowers on extra-good stalks. It is unusually late 
to bloom, a factor adding io the variety’s desirability. 75c

light buff-bronze; down-falling falls of buff-bronze, washed laven- 
der toward center and prominently veined at haft; conspicuous

good stalks. Petal substance exceptionally good. Tan Delight is

You will be pleased to know that the only and last bloom in my 
garden is the Pink Imperial which has simply been superb this year, 
much better than your colored plate of it. We were all amazed and it 
certainly created a lot of favorable comment. I also saw your Noonday 
Sky this year and it was tops.—C. W. TOMPKINS, Sioux City, Ia.
