GREEN PASTURES (Heller 1947) L. Pale chartreuse yellow 
flowers of large size and most unusual color. The touch of 
blue at the tip of the beard is most effective and accentuates 
the cool green tones of the bloom. Tall and free flowering, it 
is especially nice for flower arrangement, H. C., A. I. S. 1945.

GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) L. Very late flowering iris that

HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) M. L. Seldom has an iris 
been greeted with such enthusiastic praise as Helen McGregor.

rounded form with very broad hafts and beautiful ruffling 
on the border of both standards and falls. There is a silvery 
white flush surrounding the almost white beard that en- 
hances the beauty of the blooms. The flowers have excep- 
tionally heavy substance and the very sturdy stalks are 
adequately branched to display the blooms. The refinement 
of form and beauty of color are ideal and quite different 
from any other iris. H. C., A. I. S. 1948. H. M., A. I. S.

KATIE BELLE (G. Douglas 1947) M. L, This iris is a cross 
of Melitza x Radiant, but does not resemble either parent, 
for it is a large, lustrous bicolor blend. It might be termed 
a larger, broader, and more flaring Brown Thrasher with 
golden lights throughout the flower. In detail, according to 
Ridgway, the standards are Ochraceous orange flushed with 
Sanford’s brown, very broad and full, almost covering the 
styles. The Sanford’s brown falls are semi-flaring with faint 
threads of gold around the brilliant orange beard. A most

sturdy stalks. 38 in. $5.00

this very pure white seems to be even more lovely than the 
previous whites from Dr. Graves. A very large clear white 
self with broad fluted standards and extremely flaring falls 
delightfully ruffled. The substance is strong and firm and 
the flowers are well spaced on tall graceful stalks. An iris 
that always impresses one with its purity of color and 
beauty of form. Thoroughly hardy, having withstood many 
trying winters. H. C., A. I. S. 1943. H. M., A. I. S. 1946.
