KENTUCKY BEAUTY (C. Carpenter 1943) M. Lighter than 
Lighthouse, this iris gives the effect of bright rose, due in a meas- 
ure to the intermingling of white in the center of the flower. The 
standards are arched and domed with a strong midrib of white 
showing through the rose. The semi-flaring falls are not quite 
as dark as the American Beauty Rose with a white flush showing 
on the hafts. A strong and sturdy «ris with large firm flowers

to twelve flowers on each well branched stalk. 38 in. $10.00

LAKE HURON (J. Sass 1942) M. A blue bicolor of medium 
tone but very blue, a bright and carrying color that has great 
value in the garden. There is some velvet on the falls, but not 
enough to put it in the dark blue class. The flowers are large, the 
stalks of medium height and well branched. Floriferous and vig- 
orous. R. 88 1943. 36 in. $5.00 
LANCASTER (P. Cook 1940) M. A strong bold flower of glis- 
tening old rose with very wide segments and strong sturdy growth.

cellent placement of the blooms make it a distinct improvement 
over most of the iris in this class. Heavy strong stalks and good 
branching. H. M., A. I. S. 1941. Per. R. 89 1941. 36in. $5.00

1942, R. 88 1943. 40 in. $2.00 
LEILANI (Washington 1943) M. Charming and entirely different, 
this bonny iris has great color appeal and is most outstanding in 
this new class of Venetian or orange pinks. There is a certain 
luscious quality that cannot be adequately described by color charts, 
it must be seen to be fully appreciated. The standards are Vene- 
tian pink, well domed and firm. The rounded falls flare nicely and 
are the same color with well defined lines of deeper pink which 
give added intensity to the flower, while the peach red beard com- 
pletes the subtle color harmony. Smooth textured, with symmetry 
of form and heavy substance it truly is breath taking in its beauty. 
Eight to ten flowers well spaced on a wide, low branching stalk.
