MATTERHORN—(J. Sass 1938) EM 38”. 
This is a beautiful all white Iris, even to 
the white beard. Considered by many to 
be the finest PURE white. It has a spark- 
ling sheen, firm substance, broad flaring 
falls and good branching qualities. We ad- 
mire it very much though its a slow 
grower and it is not the whitest of whites.

MELANIE—(Hill-son 1941) M. 45”. An

salmony flesh self with a vivid pinkish

around the beard. This fiery tangerine- 
orange beard does something to this Iris 
out of the ordinary. Flowers are medium 
size and of firm substance. Stalks are well 
branched. It has done well for us. AM

MELLOW GLOW — (Whiting 1942) M 
38”. Very aptly named is this mellow, 
glowing blend of deep peach, apricot and 
amber yellow. Broad petalled,highly ruf- 
fled and perfectly formed, brightened with 
a long heavy beard. This is the kind that 
makes you eager for spring to come, and 
to keep on living from spring to spring 
to see again this and the many other 
beautiful blending of colors found only in 
Iris. We gave $22.50 each for our starts 
and I am glad that we got them when we 
did. It is going to be very popular but 
scarce for some time. A first run picture
