(BURMESE GOLD). Midseason, 34 in. 
A glamorous beauty, named in honor of 

VATICAN PURPLE 
the lovely red haired, blue eyed girl of 
the song. It is, appropriately, a rich au- 
burn red, with a central blaze of blue. 
The blooms are beautifully rounded, with 
captivating and curvaceous lines. The 
plants show good habits of growth and 
bloom. $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
TA MING (W. 1943) No. 4048 (MATULA 
X NARANJA). Midseason, 35 inches. 
Chinese yellow with an orange flush on 
the falls. Neat, clean and fresh in color- 
ing and of full, rounded form. Well 
branched stalks, strong plants. $1.00 
TEA ROSE (W. 1944) No. 4127 (MA- 
TULA X CHINA MAID). Midseason, 36 
inches. Not quite as pure a pink as the 
picture shows but a fresh and lovely pink 
toned iris that has won many friends. 
There is no hint of orchid—instead the 
pink is warmed by a soft amber infusion 
and a rich amber glow lights up the cen- 
ter. The branching is not wide but the 
flowers are well spaced and beautifully 
rounded in form. H. C. 1943, H. M. 1945. 
Added 50 Sym. 1949. $2.00, 3 for $5.00
