CHINA MAID (Milliken) 
Words fail to convey an adequate impression of the beauty 
of this flower with its intriguing blend of pink, golden bronze 
and soft lilac. The large, well-proportioned flowers of smooth 
even texture are carried on tall graceful stems. Try China Maid 
with some of the lighter blues. Perfectly hardy. 4 feet. See illus- 
tration, page 5. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
CHINA ROSE (Salbach)

that blend beautifully with the deeper falls. Flowers early and 
continues well through the season. 2% feet.

CHRISTMAS IRIS (See page 13.) 
CHRYSOLITE (Milliken) 
The flowers are a clean light cream with a heavy substance 
and a smooth even finish that glistens and sparkles in the sun- 
fight. The form of the flower is most pleas‘ng, with fine large 
standards and wide semi-flaring falls and a beard of deep 
orange-yellow. Low branching, a vigorous grower, and free 
bloomer. 4 feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 12 for $9.00 
CITY OF LINCOLN (Hans Sass) 
A very brilliant affair with its flashing velvety red falls and 
golden yellow standards. It is generally recognized as the 
finest iris in this particular color combination. 3% feet. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
CLARET VELVET (Weed) 
A richly colored dark velvety iris with the color running back 
into the center of the flower. When light passes through the 
petals the deep wine color is apparent but this is not noticeable 
by reflected light. A strong growing, free-flowering variety 
that is desirable. 21% feet. $1.00
