EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937). 40 inches. A distinguished light blue 
Iris considered by many who have seen it to be one of the most 
beautiful in its color class. The light blue color which is of great 
purity is overlain with a light silvery mist producing a “powder 
blue” or French blue effect. This very serene Iris of opulent oval 
form is a most reposeful COLOT .........-eeeee rence eeeeceeeeeees

spring, then (in most sections) again in fall .............++++- 
ELKHART. Deep chestnut red, wth a brownish cast. A seedling of 
Ethel Peckham crossed with King Tut. The flowers are rounded 
in form, profusely borne, and lit up with a vivid orange beard ..

ETHELWYN DUNBAR. 38 inches. It is a huge flower, of fine form, 
even larger and better than Imperial Blush and a deep pink, and 
it is twice the size of Pink Satin. In fom and tone it is en- 
tirely different from the others and does not in any way com- 
pete with them. Although it is a new Iris of superb quality, a 
large stock of extra finer rhizomes now permits a very low price .

EVOLUTION (Cayeux 1929). This is a mazvelous new Iris of cop- 
pery bronze shades; frilled standards. It is for all purposes a self, 
but a central zone of rosy-blue or pigeon throat, like on the falls 
adds to its beauty. A rare and beautiful color ............./.....

FACINATION. 48 inches. Early. A bright pink-toned variety that 
has always been as popular among the pinks as Sensation is 
among the blues. Very fine flowers produced in prodigious quan-

GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass, 1940). Since the reader might suppose 
from the name that this Iris is another deep yellow, we call spec- 
ial attention to fact that it is actually a lemon-colored flower, 
with creamy falls edgedgold—wholly unlike any other yellow Iris. 
It is beautifully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. At 
Nasahville during the A.I.S. meeting, 1941, it stood out as one of the

colorful rich yellows, being a bright, clear buttercup yellow. Not
