GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner)

flower. 3 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.25

GRAND MARSHAL (Milliken) 
A different and impressive deep yellow. Both standards and 
falls are a deep brown-yellow. The haft is flushed with brown 
and the beard blends with the haft. The flowers are extra large, 
semi-flaring and are borne on well branched 3%-foot stems. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $10.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins)

color. 3 feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00

GRETNA (See Louisianas, page 26) 
GYPSY BARON (Schreiner)

where the coloring seems to be thin. A firmly built flower 
which is different. 3 feet. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
GYPSY ROSE (Whiting) 
An antique rose or “tapestry-red” with a blue blaze at the

CHRISTMAS IRIS (Iris Foetidissima) 
An iris species which is interesting because of its 
bright orange-scarlet seeds which remain attached to 
the opened seed-pods throughout the winter. The pods 
are about two inches long and are carried on stems 
one to two feet long. The flowers are inconspicuous 
but the evergreen thick leaves are shiny deep green. 
Flourishes in partial shade. Cut stems of pods last in 
the house for months. See illustration.
