MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) ML. 37”.

heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of me- 
dium blue. In every way a splendid Iris. AM’35.

MISTY GOLD (Schreiner 1943) ML. 33”. * 
Some Iris are loud and brilliant in the garden. Others are 
entrancing with their delicacy and winsomeness. Such an 
Iris is Misty Gold. A lilting, crinkle petaled lemon toned 
Iris with a gold braiding along the perimeter of the petals 
giving a most effective foil to the cool, soft lemon-cream shad- 
ings in the center of the flower. Broad petaled, fluted and 
revolute, it will delight the stylist with its sculptured-like 
blooms of cool yellow and white. Pictured on page 26.

ment. ‘The blossom is elegantly styled with an accompanying 
white beard which is just right for the lovely harmony of 
the flower. Most Iris of this color are either several shades 
deeper er they have considerable yellow in their composition. 
Good sized flowers, well branched stalks, pleasantly scented.
