DESERT SKIES (Salbach) 
An attractive flower with chicory-blue standards and falls a 
shade deeper. Very fragrant. 3 ft. $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
DIXIE BELLE (Milliken) 
A large ruffled white iris with yellow hafts and beard. It is 
not related to Snow Flurry nor does it resemble Snow Flurry. 
The ruffling or corrugation is full and deep, running the entire 
length of the falls. The petals seem transluscent and thin and 
one might think that such flowers would be the first to collapse 
in a heavy rain. On the contrary, there are few kinds which stand 
up so well in the rain. The branching is good so that there is no 
crowding and the plant increases rapidly. 3 ft. See illustration 
opposite. $2.50; 3 for $6.50; 10 for $17.50 
DIXIE SUNSHINE (Milliken) 
A very refined yellow flower in which the coloring is smoothly 
shaded from medium to light yellow. The petals are serrated

ards slightly lighter than the rich velvety falls. 3 ft.
