Good substance and smoothly textured. 75c

A capricious, delicate shade of light raspberry pink with

cerulean blue at the haft and at the base of the standards

well branched. A classic iris that is a cornerstone of any 
collection. 35c

Large, rich, eloquent blue bicolor. Essentially the same 
color pattern of Amigo, Lothario is huge sized on tall branched

falls without veins or mars. Striking in its rich contrast 
and full orange beard. It is the only iris of this color that 
has a copiously large bloom carried on a 38 inch branching

we have been unable to fill the demand. $10.00

Done in the manner of Amigo. Palest sky blue standards 
and velvety rich blue purple falls. Standards a half shade 
lighter than Amigo. the effective contrast between the stand- 
ards and falls is very spritely and lively. It has not devel- 
oped height with us. $12.50 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) M. 35”. 
The brown iris and a velvety iris too so it is really the 
brown velvet iris. Amazing rich maroon brown enfolds the 
flower. Standards of light chocolate and falls a very rich, 
glossy red-maroon edged to match the standards. Rich and 
sleek without a vein. Not tall but noteworthy for its rich

An exciting salmon tinted pink blend, wide petaled flow- 
ers. A clear, bright, smoothly colored self with very stiff 
lasting substance. A refreshing color bringing the salmon 
tones of Eros into a larger, broader petaled flower of sub- 
stance, branched stems. $5.00 
MANDALAY (D. Hall 1943) L. 33”. 
A smooth reddish rose self. A new and attractive color 
that has been much admired. We talk about different iris 
being rose, this iris is certainly different from the others.

the pert flare of the falls gives the flower a touch of grace; 
very nice. 5

nous cream standards, “‘silken, hushed and chaste,”’ are the

very lovely iris. 50c
