TAJ MAHAL—Vigorous, large-flowered sort with stand- 
ards that might have been carved from white marble. The 
falls are silvery white with faint blue veinings. Each 30c. 
VANITY—A striking Iris all season through, each leaf 
being cream-white for half its width, the usual green on 
the other half. Since the foliage is good, profuse, heavy,

clumps, or as an edging. The flowers are good, too, the 
standards sky blue, the falls lavender. Each 75c.

but a really beautiful flower. White blossoms are all 
netted, veiled and dotted with ruddy brown. Vigorous and 
greatly floriferous. Each 35c; 3 for 80c. 
VENUS DE MILO—Large flowers of excellent substance. 
Standards purest white; fails enamel white except for 
hint of cream at base. Each 75c.

fawn; falls maroon, lightening to fawn at edges. Each 50c. 
WHITE KING—Fine sort, pure white save for faint brown 
striation at fall base. Each 35c. 
ZAHAROON—An unusual English sort in blending of 
amber, fawn and pale violet. Very good. Each 40c.
