MAGIC) Midseason to late, 34 inches. A 
pure self of deep wine red, near to Garnet

plate 7, J 6, or Burnt Lake or Oxblood Red 
by Ridgway. It is dark and rich yet 
glowing, with a glossy satin sheen. It 
never fades, burns or spots in sun or rain. 
The wide hafts are unmarred by veining, 
the beard is almost the color of the flower. 
The branching is good in proportion to its 
height and the flowers are of ample size. 
The rhizomes are not very large, but the 
plants are vigorous and show better than 
average increase. It blooms freely over a 
long period of time. H.C. 1942, H.M. 1945,

edge of the petals with deeper yellow. 
Large, widely rounded blooms on tall, well

able comments on GILT EDGE please us 
very much. It was one of the first seed- 
lings we chose for naming. Per. R. 86, 
1943. $1.00 
GLAD TIDINGS (W. 1947) No. 4246 (AMI- 
TOLA X COPPER PIECE) X (AMA- 
RANTH) One of the most interesting 
irises we have ever grown. It may never 
meet with the approval of A.I.S. judges as 

GARDEN GLORY 
it has very close branching. But it makes 
a unique and rather stunning picture in 
the garden or in arrangements. The color 
is wax yellow, and the heavy substance 
of the flowers is amazing. The stalk looks 
a bit like a huge spike of gladiolus. It has 
already brought seme very exciting new 
seedlings. The plants are robust in growth, 
bloom and increase. $5.00 
GOLDEN SPIKE (W. 1940) No. 3915 
(HAPPY DAYS X MATULA) Midseason, 
36 inches. Deep yellow self with heavy 
orange beard. The flowers are large and

RANTH X THREE OAKS) Midseason 
late, 40 inches. Rich tapestry red infused 
with copper and accented by a blue blaze 
in the fall. The flowers are very large, 
yet sturdy and compact. The tall, widely 
branched stalks are strong enough to carry 
the many large blooms safely through all 
kinds of weather. The plants show vigor- 
ous growth, free bloom and strong increase. 
A winner in the garden or on the show 
table. $15.00

From Grinnell, Iowa—‘‘I have been so 
happy to note the many awards which 
your irises have received and want to 
send my congratulations to you. I en- 
joyed your articles in the Bulletin, too. 
All of the rhizomes you sent me are do- 
ing splendidly which makes me hope for 
bloom next May. I’m thrilled with the 
extras you sent—Blue Zenith and Cloth 
of Gold. To think that one of them re- 
ceived its H. M. this year is wonderful.”’
