ROCKET (W. 1945) No. 4215 (SANDAL- 
WOOD xX NARANJA) X (GOLDEN 
SPIKE). Harly midseason, 38 inches. 
This has been called the orange iris. The 
standards are the deepest chrome yellow, 
the falls really orange almost to the 
edge. The flowers are large, wide pet- 
aled, classically formed and of heavy 
substance. The picture is quite true in 

TEA ROSE 
color, but was, unfortunately, taken be- 
fore the flower had unfurled to its nor- 
mal size and shape. A fully opened bloom 
of ROCKET shows wide, arched and 
domed standards with well rounded, 
gracefully flaring falls and wide hafts. 
The stalks are fairly well branched, car- 
rying nine to eleven bloom buds. The 
hardy, vigorous plants bloom and _in- 
crease freely. H: M, 1945; R290; 1946.
