MEXICAN MAGIC. (Whiting 1947) M. 38 in. This is 
a rich shining blend of deep garnet and Titian gold that 
is illuminated by a blended undertone of glowing copper. 
The quite broad standards arch and touch firmly at the 
tips and the well rounded falls flare out and down, giv- 
ing the bloom a nicely rounded form. The flowers have 
a smooth lustrous finish as of chinese lacquer, that is 
heightened by a touch of garnet at the haft and a small 
blue flare at the tip of the beard. The branching is 
close but adequate and the plants produce increase quite 
freely. This is giving us some fine things in its seed- 
ings.

NANKEEN. (Whiting 1947) M. 37 in. We would call 
this a blended self for its ground color of clear martius 
yellow is so smoothly brushed with Honeydew pink that 
it seems to be a self of a light, clear shade of orange, 
peach or Nankeen yellow. It is a refreshing color, one 
that reminds us of the clean golden peach touched sky 
at early dawn. The well formed, heavily substanced 
blooms are carried on sturdy, nicely branched stalks. 
On the whole, this iris is as fresh and invigorating as the 
morning air and we are sure you will enjoy it.

SIOUX CITY SUE. (Whiting-Snyder 1947) M. 36 in. 
Mr. Snyder selected this seedling from the Whiting gar- 
dens and named it in honor of Sioux City’s rather 
famous “Sue.” Like its namesake it has hair of red and 
eyes of blue. Strong well branched stalks carry crisp, 
satiny finished, nicely formed blooms of blended Chest- 
nut red and light, clear copper. A large blue blaze on 
the fall gives the flower added warmth and distinction. 
We predict that you will hear as much about this as you ~ 
have of the song.

THE PERSONALITY PARADE 
The following group of iris, while priced low enough to 
be within the reach of everyone; are nevertheless as 
distinctive and lovely as one might desire. This has 
been one of the most popular groups in our garden and 
while a large amount of each has been sold under num- 
ber; the increase has always been fast enough to per- 
mit the very reasonable prices. 
CONGO PRINCESS. (Whiting 1947) M-L. 40 in. The 
firm, rounded blooms of this are a deep blackish purple, 
enlivened by a glowing red undertone. The hafts are 
quite clean and are enhanced by a bronzed, dark tip- 
ped beard. Imagine blooms fashioned of dark, sleek 
parachute silk and you have this one. Tall, strong, well 
branched stalks and lateness of bloom are other valuable 
assets possessed by this iris.
