glowing that it stands out in any plant-

36 in. A rich dark blue purple self of 
outstanding character. The large, well

most dark irises it has a glossy, satiny 
finish instead of a velvety texture. Thus 
it neither spots nor fedes and withstands 
any weather. The plants are very hardy 
and vigorous in growth, producing a 
wealth of bloom and strong increase. An 
iris with a future. H. M. 1943, R. 88,
