PALOS VERDES (Milliken) 
We are frequently asked for a good chartreuse iris. It may 
be needed to give just the right touch in the garden or to use 
as a cut flower to harmonize with the furnishings of a room. 
We think that Palos Verdes will meet the need. The petals 
are Reed yellow shading to mustard yellow and at the hafts 
are fine lines of cress green. The beard is strontian yellow. 
The coloring is smooth and soft, the flower is firm and flaring 
The plant is vigorous. 40 inches. $1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $11.50

PERU (Milliken) 
A very large powder blue iris. It is more than this, however, 
for the little touch which gives it exceptional charm is a dis- 
tinct yet not sharply outlined lighter border to the falls. 
Strange to say this border is not due to a difference in color 
but to a brighter lighting of this portion of the petal because 
of a slight flexing of the edge. The flower is beautifully formed 
and the weather resistance is excellent. 50 inches.
