liam Mohr. The color is light violet with a great deal of copper 
and bronze in the center of the bloom and on the hafts. The sub-

PATH OF GOLD (E. L. Hodson 1943) E. A delightful yellow 
dwarf iris that is well named for it increases rapidly and literally 
makes a Path of Gold. The ruffled standards are highly domed, 
and the falls are semi-flaring. The beard is brilliant orange which 
sets the heart of the flower aglow. The plants are very floriferous 
and hardy. and is a gem for bordering a path, in a rock garden or 
about a pool. 9 in. $3.00 
PEGGY WALLACE (Wiesner 1943) M. The background of the 
flower is white heavily overlaid pink with a faint flush of Havana 
brown and pinky lavender in the throat. The domed standards are 
strong and firm. The flaring falls are wide and in perfect pro- 
portion to the standards. The stalks are strong and sturdy with 
ample branching so that each flower clears the next one to open. 
The substance of the flowers is smooth and heavy. I have grown 
this charming iris for three years and have found it dependable in 
every way, also an excellent parent for breeding the new pinks.

variegata with even clearer color than City of Lincoln, but lacking

with an undercolor of pale lemon yellow heavily overlaid with 
green gold deepening decidedly toward the throat. Broad beard

Cadet blue. Flowers very freely and gives the bluest effect of any 
plicata in the garden. Excellent for mass planting. R. 87 1942. 
38 in. $2.50 
PIECES OF EIGHT (Lewis 1940) M. Tall and stately, this 
yellow iris has the fresh clean coloring of clear June butter. The
