INTRODUCING—1950 
LADY IN BLUE (Hope 50) 42”. 
This lovely pale frosty blue brings 
the delectable coloring of Mount- 
ain Sky to an iris as hardy as an 
oak. Bred from Beuchley’s Giant 
x Great Lakes, it withstood the 
11° below zero of 1948 without 
covering, when all about it were 
killed in the Hope garden. The 
large formal flowers have firm 
domed standards, horizontally 
flaring falis— without ruffling, 
and heaviest substance. Stalks are 
tall and well branched. A worth- 
while addition to the ranks of all 
too few good doers among new va- 
rieties. Net $15.00
