CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1937). Medium late. 42 inches. King of the variegatas. The 
variegata by which all others are judged. Possesses rich golden standards and bright 
velvety red falls. This is the boldest color contrast to be found in any Iris and makes 
a clump of this variety a very striking focal point in any Iris picture. City of Lincoln pos- 
sesses fine height, excellent branching, splendid flaring form, and equals most of the new- 
er Irises in size. We are glad to give this variety one of our strongest recommendations ..

resulted not only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of its flowers. but also from 
the fact that it performs well.in all sections of the country. It positively glows in its 
bright copper, gold, and pinkish tan blendings. Dykes Medal, 1938 Each .25; Per 10 $1.50

DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941). A huge golden pink, with slight undertones of copper. 
The flowers are well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi-flaring, but 
there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. It has excellent branching and 
the stems are three to four feet tall. The name is most appropriate. This Iris received 
an award of the American Iris Society in 1942, and reports of those who have seen it 
in many parts of the country indicate that it will be one of the most popular varieties 
that we have ever introduced. A. M. 1943 Each $2.00; Per 10, $12.50
