SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939). Early in 1939, 
Miss Rees, the originator of Snow Flurry, 
brought us two individual blooms that 
seemed to be as beautiful and perfect an 
iris as we have ever hoped to see. A few 
days later we saw a planting of Snow 
Flurry that was simply stunning. In this 
same garden were a number of the finer 
and newer varieties, such as Happy Days, 
California Gold, Purissima, and others, 
but none were so outstanding as Snow 
Flurry. The blooms were even larger than 
any of the others. Standards are pure icy 
white, beautifully ruffled, and falls big, 
broad, and clear white. Buds show a defi- 
nite cast of blue. The flower stalks are 
very tall and carry as many as seventeen 
buds and flowers. The blooms are carried 
fairly high on the stems. Few, if any, iris 
are more deliciously scented. Similar to 
orange blossoms. Early. 50”.

dwarf whites. Medium size, pure white

magnificent iris. As suggested by the name 
the color is a deep rich brownish red 
mahogany without any other markings 
except the beard, which is a deep bronzy 
gold. Blooms, of good siz> and form, are 
perfectly placed on tall well branched 
stems. Hardy and a free bloomer. 30”. 
Mid-season............ $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
(DeForrest 1942). Very large 
blooms of coppery pink, with yellow un-

SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944). During the past 
few years there has been a concerted ef- 
fort to produce real pink iris. We have a 
number of pink blends and iris in pink 
shades. Real pink iris are scarce. Spin- 
drift is one of the few iris approaching 
the true pinks. A delicate shell or coral 
pink with a brilliant tangerine beard 
which accentuates the pink shades.
