IOWA MAID (W. 1943) No. 3952 (MARI- 
SHA X SUMMER TAN) Midseason, 36 
inches. An iris of the amoena_ type. 
Standards creamy tan, falls rose red. A 
smoothly finished flower that seems always 
clean and fresh. The flowers are of me- 
dium size but broad form. Well branched, 
strong and hardy. We know of no other 
iris quite this color. Very heavy sub- 
stance. $1.00 
IVORY CHARM (W. 1947) No. 445 (PRIS- 
CILLA X BAGHDAD) Early midseason, 36 
inches. Truly charming is this fresh ivory 
toned iris with its bright golden throat. 
One of the very first to bloom it brings a 
rich promise of weeks of beauty to come. 
The stalks are exceptionally well branched, 
the plants show fast increase. $3.00

LAVENDER AND GOLD LACE (W. 1946) 
No. 4020 (MOONGLOW X MATULA) 
Midseason, 36 inches. This charmingly 
different iris holds a place all its own. The 
standards are golden yellow flushed with 
lavender and edged with a crimped finish. 
The falls are lavender with a distinct frill 
of gold, so crimped that it looks like a lace 
edging. Strong, hardy plants with gen- 
erous bloom and increase. $2.50 

Be sure to order your copy of IRIS, THE 
IDEAL HARDY PERENNIAL. Dr. Cook’s arti- 
cle, The Iris Rainbow, is worth many times the 
price of the entire book. See page 4.
