PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939). Many 
iris experts consider Prairie Sunset the 
last word in iris. A magnificent iris well 
named for it has a combination of colors 
that remind one of a glowing sunset, a 
blending of pink, apricot and gold, witha 
glow that makes it bright and rich. Here 
is what one of the most competent East- 
ern judges says: “This is the finest color I 
have seen in an iris.” In addition to its 
glorious color, Prairie Sunset possesses all 
the other good qualities to make it a top 
ranking iris. Mid-season. 30”....... $2.50 
PRECIOUS (Mitchell 1945). A fine tall new 
type plicata perhaps best described in 
general effect pale apricot. We suggest the 
name of “fancy” for this new type as it is 
appearing as a new pattern in plicata 
breeding. The whole flower is suffused 
with a superimposed color instead of 
this being confined to marginal stippling.

white without any other markings, the

round and well cupped, falls broad and 
flaring. Very pure. Mid-season. 30’. .$2.00 
PURISSIMA (Mohr - Mitchell). Although 
introduced many years ago, this remark- 
able iris is still the most perfect clear 
white, although it is a little tender where 
the winters are extremely cold. The large 
clear white blooms are beautifully poised 
on tall, well branched stems. An ideal iris 
for mild climate and can be successfully 
grown in cold climate if given some 
winter protection. Early. 50”.

the falls a glowing coppery red, producing 
a richness and brilliance of color seldom 
seen in an iris. Medium size blooms of 
fine form, and are very freely produced 
on low-branched stems. Mid-season. 30”.
