FRANK DRAKE (Grant 1947) M. L. Some iris depend on 
color for their beauty, others on perfection of form and 
finish, and this one belongs in the latter class, for it is an 
iris with the heavy smooth substance and finish of marble. 
A cool reverse bicolor with standards of Reed yellow 
(Ridgway) completely domed and very firmly held. The very 
flaring falls are pure white with a generous overlay of Char- 
treuse gold surrounding the beard of the same color which is 
lightly tipped with white. Well branched and vigorous 
growth. 39 in. $7.50 
FRANK PUGLIESE (Lapham 1947) M. This iris might be 
described as a more red and glowing Christabel, and even 
more of a self. The standards are so deep that they seem 
the same shade as the lustrous falls. The whole flower is 
very free from venations and most colorful in the garden.

GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting 1947) M. L. A novelty among 
the light chrome yellows. The flowers are very large, widely 
flared, ruffled and of heavy waxy substance. On account 
of its low branching with the lower blooms opening first, 
it is ideal for flower arrangement. 34 in. $4.0 
GOLD BEATER (Kleinsorge 1944) M. Solidly colored 
chrome yellow self. It is a very bright deep yellow without 
marking of any other color. The buds are especially at-

gold iris of extremely heavy substance, full rounded form 
and as smoothly finished as a piece of polished ivory. The 
standards are broad and very firmly held; the falls are full 
and flaring and the heavy flush of gold on the haft is as trim 
and precise as the epaulets on a uniform. Good branching 
and increases rapidly. 38 in. $4.00 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) M. A well known iris of 
cool lemon cream intensified by deeper lemon at the haft

GOLDEN SPANGLE (Cassebeer 1944) E. M. Deeper yel- 
low than Golden Fleece, but with a very similar arrangement

of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, and while not quite as tall, 
its brilliant color and floriferousness more than make up 
for this. A rich mustard gold self with wide domed and 
ruffled standards. The flaring falls have a banding of cop- 
per on the fluted edges. Beard dull gold. Good branching.

GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) M. An unusual blend

Charlotte Millet, but it is far more colorful. H. M., A. I. S.

GREIG LAPHAM (Gage 1948) M. During the years of their 
close friendship, Mr. Gage had wished to name a fine iris 
for Mr. Lapham, and he as well as other iris fanciers consider 
this one well worthy of the honor. A smoothly finished 
medium yellow self with a wonderful mellowness of color. 
The domed standards and semi-flaring falls are trimly formed 
with absolutely no venations to mar the firm velvety sub- 
stance of the flowers. Rich orange beard with soft yellow 
tips. Free flowering, and increases rapidly. 3 branches and 
terminal. H. C., A. I. S. 1946. H. M., A. I. S. 1948. 36 a 4
