HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) M.

famous in its first year of introduction. 
A clear, pure light blue self without a 
trace of lavender. The flowers are 
large, of rounded form with very broad 
hafts and beautiful ruffling on the edges 
of both standards and falls. The re- 
finement of form and beauty of color 
make this the outstanding iris of the

1947 Introductions. 
JAKE (J. Sass-Long 1943) M. 38 in. A

visualized. Once seen, it can never be 
forgotten. An iris of great individuality

some of the American yellows, but its 
purity and freshness more than make 
up tor its Size, “A.M Re Hes. ofsEng-
