tally flaring falls; the whole flower 
beautifully ruffled and crimped. $2.50 
WHISPERS (Linse 1951) 42” Some 
irises are handsome and bold, oth- 
ers gay and strident, but Whispers 
is not of these, but rather it is soft 
and alluring—delicate and _ lovely, 
with its ruffled standards of soft 
Chrome yellow and flaring falls of 
Amber white with graceful lilt. De- 
scribed as Pinnacle done in reverse, 
there is actually less contrast be- 
tween standards and falls, and the 
form is different. The flowers are 
large with good substance. Branch- 
ing and habit of growth are superb. 
$10.00

38”. AM 1945. A large porcelain white 
with blue at the base of the white
