PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939). Many 
iris experts consider Prairie Sunset the 
last word in iris. A magnificent iris well 
named for it has a combination of colors 
that remind one of a glowing sunset, a 
blending of pink, apricot and gold, with a 
glow that makes it bright and rich. Here 
is what one of the most competent East- 
ern judges says: ‘“‘This is the finest color I 
have seen in an iris.” In addition to its 
glorious color, Prairie Sunset possesses all 
the other good qualities to make it a top 
ranking iris. Mid-season.30”........ $3.50

PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell). Although 
introduced many years ago, this remark- 
able iris is still the most perfect clear 
white, although it is a little tender where 
the winters are extremely cold. The large 
clear white blooms are beautifully poised 
on tall, well-branched stems. An ideal iris 
for mild climate and can be successfully 
grown in cold climate if given some 
winter protection. Early. 50”.
