see an iris that has such rich elegance as this tall and stately 
one, This is due to the solid almost black-maroon color and 
the very velvety finish of the flowers. An iris that was 
highly praised at the Nashville meeting. A long flower with 
arched and highly domed standards of deep maroon. The 
falls are semi-flaring of the same color as the standards, 
but with a deep velvet flush that extends into the heart of 
the bloom. Most reds do not stand strong sun or rain, but 
this does remaining erisp and fresh throughout the day. The 
stalk is tall, strong and well branched. A very finished iris 
with excellent carrying quality in the garden. H.C., A.L.S.

SEAFARER (Buttrick 1949) M. L. The name suggests the

have seen this iris praise it highly and are impressed not 
only by the clarity of blue color, but by the perfection of 
form and sturdy growth. It is a true self, smooth and free 
from self veining that so often mars the beauty of an iris. 
The color is clean and pure and more blue than any of the 
newer blue iris of similar color depth. The standards are 
firmly domed with no tendency to open at any time. The 
falls are flaring and in excellent proportion so that the 
flowers structurally present a most pleasing appearance. 
Smooth firm substanced flowers, fine low branching, clean 
strong foliage. H.C., A.I.S. 1948. H.M., A.1I.S. 1949. 36 in.
