| Mary Geddes _ Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
7 Had the distinction of being an American introduction that received an Award of 
Merit in England, where so many fine Irises are produced. The color is hard to 
describe, but it is one of the finest. An attempt at a description would be, a lovely 
blending of soft pink tones, overlaid Pomeranian red. This gives but a faint idea 
of its great beauty. There are 8 to 10 flowers to a stem.
