GARDEN GLORY (Whiting 1943) M. 
L. 33 in. A pure self of deep ruby red. 
It has been called the reddest iris by 
many judges, but this does not mean 
it is a bright red. It is dark, rich and 
glowing with a smooth, satiny sheen. It 
never fades, burns or spots in sun or 
rain. The wide hafts are unmarred by 
any veining, the beards are bronze red. 
The branching is good in proportion to 
its height and the flowers are of ample 
size. The plants are vigorous with good 
increase but the rhizomes are not large. 
It blooms freely on first year or estab- 
lished ‘plants. H.C; 1942, HB. Me 1945.
