GRECIAN ROBE (Heller, 1950) 
Each $7.00 
M. Tall and stately, this cream and gold iris has been tested in 
many parts of the country, and has proved to be a hardy de- 
pendable iris. The large, full flowers are rich cream in color, 
the falls lightly bordered with deeper yellow and the center of 
the bloom in lighted by a rich yellow beard. A very handsome 
iris with excellent garden values. Vigorous growth. 43 in.

flowering.

L. 38 inches. A warm orangy cast variegata with copper gold 
standards and solid chestnut brown falls. Imposing stems, a 
vibrantly colored iris. One of the most promising variegatas

tifully branched, hardy and free blooming.
