glowing purple iris that I have seen. It is a seif of anthra-

their extreme velvety surface. The domed standards are 
broad and full. The falls are semi-flaring of very velvety 
finish with the solid color going away down into the throat.

yellow beard. Not an extremely tall iris, but very floriferous 
and the exceptionally well formed flowers are evenly spaced 
on four way branching stalks. R. 87 1948. 35 in. $7.50 
ELLEN (K. Smith 1944) M. An iris of quality and a gem 
in purity of color. A rounded yet flaring flower of pale 
mazarine ‘blue enveloped by a frosty sheen that sparkles in 
the sunlight giving a different tone from any other of the 
paler blues. A self with rather high domed standards, the

flush around the yellow beard. A delightful flower. 35 in.

ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) M. A most impressive and hand- 
some iris that seems to be the best of the William Mohr 
progeny, and it has more red in it than any of the others.

and lustrous. Hybridizers will be interested to know that 
it is a good seed parent. Healthy vigorous plants with stalks 
of medium height. H. M., A. I. S. 1942. A. M., A. I. S.

ETOILE D’OR (G. Douglas 1943) M. A pure deep yellow self 
with firm texture and sparkling finish. The standards are 
domed and firmly held. The falls are semi-flaring with an 
overlay of deeper yellow that gives a velvety lustre to the 
bloom. The flowers are brighter and deeper than most of 
the yellows with no greenish undertone. The absence of 
veining enhances the purity of color. Medium to tall in 
height with good branching, it has great garden value.
