HELEN FITZGERALD (HF. Thorup) ( (Purissima x Wasatch) x ( (Dolly Madison x W. R. Dykes) 
x (Souv. de Madam Gaudichau x Ricardi) ) Named for a charming lady, and well worthy of 
the name. Here is a color we need badly, a true Lobelia Violet (Ridgeway), and a self. The 
blooms are very large, wide and full in parts. The beard is inconspicuous, light yellow. Some 
ruffling adds to the beauty of the flower. Helen Fitzgerald was one of the hits of the Salt Lake 
Iris show. One judge said: “I don't believe any of us realize how good an iris Helen Fitzgerald 
really is. Not yet distributed out of Utah. Stock is very scarce, but I cannot hold it back

rhizomes and roots are splendid for holding banks against erosion. Barnyard manure is their 
best fertilizer. Rhizomes of Fairy Light will be shipped in September. ................ Each $10.00
