flower—a rich clear yellow, nicely ruffled. M—37”.

lighted thousands, coming out so strongly and in such a luscious new color 
—-standards glistening primrose, falls smooth ivory-cream. Exception- 
ally large flowers, of regal flaring form and elegant poise. Ruffled 
Bouquet is so new it has not been seen by many Iris judges, but already

that will attract attention in your garden because of its genuine appeal,

originator of the most outstanding Iris, as determined by a vote of the 
visitors at the Annual Meeting, American Iris Society. For 1948 this 
went to Geddes Douglas for his superb new creation Amandine. Not only 
did it receive the most votes, but it polled 90% of all votes as the 
“people’s choice’. A big, beautifully ruffled cream colored Iris with ex- 
cellent substance and wide falls and standards. ML—36”. 
CAROLINE BURR (K. Smith ‘40) * AM’42 $1.50; 3 for $3.75

with the palest chartreuse and a frosty iridescence. Is the pollen parent 
of the superb Amandine. Also sets seed well, and may yield amoenas and 
neglectas as well as creams, for it comes from Easter Morn x Madame 
Maurice Lassailly. ML—42”, 
Berkeley Gold

substance and remarkably velvety lustre ordinarily found only in darker colored Iris. 
Actually plush-like in texture. A pure gold, unmarred by veining or shading. A good 
parent. M—37”.

individual air. M—38"’. 
LATE 
BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach ‘42) *& ky HM’44,AM‘46 $1.50; 3 for $3.00 
The yellow Iris we recommend as being the best buy among all our offerings. While 
Ola Kala has just won the Dykes Medal, many of the country’s most experienced Iris 
judges have rated Berkeley Gold even higher. Actually the two are very similar, of nearly 
equal merit. Berkeley Gold is admired most because it is an intense, pure yellow, much 
richer than other yellows such as Golden Majesty, which have heretofore been our 
standards. It is also much sought because it ‘blooms over a long period, stands rain and 
hot weather without fading. Possesses excellent breeding possibilities, for it has ample 
pollen and sets seed with pollen of many varieties. We have a large stock but at this 
new low price we wonder how long it will last. We suggest you place your order at once; 
in the meantime reserve for Berkeley Gold a special niche in your garden where everyone 
will see it. ML—37’’. Photo at right. »>
