MAPLETON, IOWA—1947 

DISPLAY (Grant 1942) M. L. 35 in. A 
rich and glowing brown red. It is not 
large but makes a fine showing, and is 
always much admired. The clean, pure 
coloring does not fade during its long 
blooming. season. H. M. 1942, Per. R. 
88, 1943. $5.00 
DINAH SHORE (Williams 1945) M. 38 
in. A really fascinating blend of honey 
and orange tones. As seen in the orig- 
inator’s garden last spring it was one 
of the smoothest and finest irises that 
I have seen for several years. In pleas- 
ing form, poise, finish and refinement 
as well as luscious coloring, it rang all 
the bells. When better known it is 
sure to rate high among the blends. 
$7.50 
DIVIDEND (G. Douglas 1944) V. L. The 
deep chrome flowers are large, crisp 
and firm with distinctive orange brown 
thumb prints on each side of the orange 
beard. A wonderful addition to the late 
glooming group. It helps to extend the 
season two weeks beyond the usual 
peak of bloom. R. 88, 1944. $5.00 
DREAMLAND (Snyder 1945) M. 38 in. 
A rich, wine red self of smooth texture

orus and hardy. R. 85, 1946. $30.00 
DYMIA (Shuber 1936) E. 38 in. A 
clear, fine dark blue self with a deep 
blue beard. There are a few irises one 
cannot discard no matter how old they 
get. Shuber’s DYMIA and NARIAN 
are two of them. They are the parents 
of Mr. Fay’s new GULF STREAM. H.

enormous, ruffled, mulberry purple

never to be forgotten. Now the price

out it. No iris has ever made such a 
fast record of awards. H. M. 1942, A.

EL MOROCCO (Becherer 1945) M. 36

opalescent pink tone is reminiscent of 
the lovely ANGELUS from which it is 
decended. The large, broad flowers 
have a leather like substance. The 
stalk is strong and well branched, the 
plant hardy and prolific. A splendid 
addition to any garden. $5.00 
ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. 
There are now many lemon yellow 
irises, but ELSA SASS still retains its 
individuality and charm among them. A 
clump of it has an air of distinction 
that makes even the critics stop to ad-

and white amoena, with clear, clean 
coloring. The standards are white with 
a flush of cream at the base. The falls

else even approaches it in coloring. H.

blues. Valuable in breeding, H.
