CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937). Medium late. 42 inches. King 
of the variegatas. The variegata by which all others are judged. 
Possesses rich golden standards and bright velvety red falls. This 
is the boldest color contrast to be found in any Iris and makes a 
clump of this variety a very striking focal point in any Iris pic- 
ture. City of Lincoln possesses fine height, excellent branching, 
Spiendid flaring form, and equals most of the newer Irises in size. 
We are glad to give this variety one of our strongest recom-
