DR. JOHN K. SMALL. (Randolph-Kerper, ’50). A. I. S. Bronze Metal 1940. 
This flower is well-known for its immense radiant signal patch set on a wide rose 
sepal for heavy texture and good substance. The undertone is gold, as is the un- 
derside of the sepal. The petal is rose. 39 inches. Very striking. $5.00. 
EARLY MORN. (Conger, ’50). This iris attracted more attention than any 
other in the garden this year. The flat 7-inch flowers have a deep cream base 
splashed with old rose. A few hours after opening, the center of the sepal fades 
to a near cream, giving a somewhat plicata effect; the petals have an old rose line 
down the center. Style arms are marsh rose centered and edged bright gold. The 
36-inch stalk has lateral branchihng, affording the simultaneous bloom of three 
blooms to a stalk. Early to mid-season. $7.50. 
EASTER BASKET. (Dormon, C., ’47). Those who are nostalgic for the 
color of the old-fashioned purple Easter eggs will enjoy the color of this large child 
of New Orleans and Cajun Joyeuse. The 6” flower is graceful and showy. Com- 
bines well with deep violets and strong yellows, but beware of placing it near del- 
icate pastels. 30”’—36’. $3.00. 
EDITH DUPRE (G. Arceneaux). A clump of this lovely little iris is a sight to 
behold. The 3%” flowers are a golden yellow flushed heavily over the sepals with 
a deep rose. A fine iris for small arrangemens and corsages. $.75, 3 for $2.00, 6 
for $3.75. 
ELIZABETH, THE QUEEN. (Nelson, I., ’51). Where a light blue is needed, 
this is the answer. The 6” flowers of giganitcaerulea form approach powder blue 
in color, are graceful, and are held on a tall 36” to 40” stem. A strong grower and 
rapid multiplier. $3.50. 
EULETTE P. FRANCIS. (Conger, ’50). This large, outstanding 7-inch flower 
is an improvement on its seed parent, New Orleans. The sepals are wider, the form 
flatter, and the color cleaner. The color is nearest dahlia carmine in the shade, 
but in the sun, it gives a light rose effect. 30 inches. Early.. $7.50. 
FORSYTHIA. (Debaillon-Dormon). Clear yellows among the flat formed 
Abbeville irises are rare. This is an exception. The 5” graceful flowers are held 
on tall 36” to 40” stems. Make an impressive display. $2.50. 
GAY DECEIVER. (Clark, H., 50). H. M., A. I. S., 51. This well-named iris 
has unmistakable individuality. The large, flat, ruffled flowers have a cream back- 
ground covered with rose veining and a rose flush. At different stages of the 
flower’s age there are hints of gold, pink, buff, and apricot about it. ' The style arms 
are short and flat; the form is campanulate, yet flaring. The substance and tex- 
ture are excellent. Medium height. $7.50. 
GYPSY RED (Debaillon-Dormon). What a color! What a display! The iris 
gets its name from its color, blooms well above the foliage and forms a compact 
clump. Put it in the sun where it can flame. $1.50.
