MAPLE VALLEY IRIS GARDENS 

VATICAN PURPLE (W. 1943) No. 4060 
(MISSOURI X MATA HARI) Midseason 
to late, 38 inches. A very rich, dark blue 
purple self. The large, well rounded flow- 
ers are of extremely heavy substance and 
smart, glossy finish. It does not spot or 
fade in any weather. The strong stalks are 
widely branched, carrying nine to twelve 
huge flowers over a long period of bloom. 
We think it is one of the all round best 
irises we have named. We are getting 
some beautiful pure white as well as deep 
purple seedlings from it. H.M. 1943, R. 89, 
1946. $4.00 
VEISHEA (W. 1934) No. 409 (MATULA) 
X (MATULA X SUMMER TAN) Midsea- 
son, 36 inches. Named for the colorful 
spring festival at Iowa State College called 
“Veishea” and pronounced vee’-sha. It 
does make a brilliant showing in any gar- 
den. A near self of red gold with a bright 
blue spotlight on the falls. The flowers 
are very large but firm in substance and 
compactly rounded in form. When well 
grown it branches well on medium tall, 
strong stems. H.M. 1946, R. 89, 1946. $1.50 
WILD HONEY (W. 1946) No. 4219 (JON- 
QUIL X GILT EDGE) Early midseason, 36 
inches. A soft golden tan self, near to the 
color of plate 13, B 9, of Dictionary of 
Color, called by the same name. It is 
similar to Ridgway’s Mikado brown, plate 
XXIX 13 i. There is a glint of gold over 
the whole flower and a smooth touch of 
deeper gold at the haft. The flowers are 
large, the standards well domed, the falls 
widely rounded but not flaring. The 
sturdy stalks are well branched to carry 
seven to nine blooms. The plants are 
vigorous in growth and bloom freely. $5.00
