CHINA BOY (Milliken) 
Those who see this magnificent iris with its huge flowers of 
rich red bronze, toned with shades of brown and carried on tall 
stately stems, immediately determine to have it in their own 
garden. It is stunning growing near a deep blue-violet such as 
Sleepy Hollow. 3% feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 12 for $9.00 
CHINA LADY (Milliken) 
The flowers are a clear glistening ivory with excellent sub- 
stance and yet they are translucent. The center of the flower 
is lighted by a brilliant beard and the golden venation of the 
hafts. The flowers are large, beautifully formed and well car- 
ried on 3- to 4-foot stalks. The plant is vigorous.

CHINA MAID (Milliken) 
Words fail to convey an adequate impression of the beauty
