others and for us, some of the finest pinks 
we have seen. The strong, hardy plants 
bloom and increase freely, and _ seed 
readily. Saet5 
PALE PRIMROSE (W. 1946) No. 4057 
(HAPPY DAYS X MIDWEST GEM) Late, 
38 inches. Cool primrose yellow with a 
touch of wax yellow at the haft. The 
color is not so unusual, but the form of the 
flower is most distinctive. It is oval, with 
standards tightly closed and swirled at the 
top; the falls are long but so wide they 
nearly touch each other. The effect is of 
a huge yellow rose bud. It comes late and 
extends the season at least two weeks. 
Growth and blooming habits good. Stalks 
rather high branched, most effective in the 
middle or back of a planting. $1.50 
PATHFINDER (Whiting 1948) No. 4240 
(MIRABELLE X ANGELUS) Midseason,

36 inches. This is a blend, but it has more 
true pink tones than any we have seen. 
The name indicates that we do not con- 
sider it the goal in pinks but it is a path 
finder. The blooms are very wide and full, 
of extremely heavy substance, and glisten- 
ing texture. The branching is too close 
but the stems are strong; the plants are 
rugged and prolific of bloom and increase.

PRISCILLA (W. 1942) No. 39142 (PURIS- 
SIMA X BLUE WAVES) Midseason, 30-36 
inches. A very pure white iris that wins 
friends everywhere. Of modest size and 
height, it owes it popularity to its purity 
and its pleasingly rounded form. Cool, 
clean of all markings of color in haft or 
beard, it is known as the really pure white 
iris. Mistakenly classed as an intermediate, 
it often grows to to 36 inches in height. Al- 
ways well branched, it has a long season
