very striking focal point in any iris picture. City of Lincoln 
possesses fine height, excellent branching, splendid flaring form, 
and equals most of the newer irises in size. We are glad to give 
this variety one of our strongest recommendations.

sulted not only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of its 
flowers but also from the fact that it performs well in all sec- 
tions of the country. It positively glows in its bright copper, 
gold and pinkish tan blendings. Dykes Medal, 1938.
