COPPER FRILLS, Whiting 1941. No. 3946 
(GOLDEN LIGHT X LUX). Mid-season, 
34 inches. A captivating border iris of 
bright copper, delightfully frilled. Not 
large but most effective in mass as it 
blooms very freely throughout the season. 
Excellent for flower arrangements. Strong 
growth and good branching. 50c, 3 for $1.09 
CORNFLOWER, Whiting 1948. No. 4413 
(SEA BLUE X GREAT LAKES) Mid- 
season to late, 38 inches. One of the bluest 
blues we have seen, a clear self of me- 
dium tone. Its well domed standards, nice- 
ly flaring falls, good branching and prolific 
growth make it one of our top favorites. 
It comes from an entirely different line of 
breeding from that of BLUE RHYTHM 
and was named three years later. Some 
visitors like it better because of its flaring 
form and purer blue coloring. Try it and 
see what you think. $2.50, 3 for $5.00 
DAINTY BESS, Whiting 1941. No. 39127 
(ALINE X Sass 34-71). Mid-season, 15 
inches. A bewitching small charmer of 
clear, porcelain blue. Not too large for a 
choice place in the rock garden or low 
border. A careful checking of records 
now shows its pollen parent to be a Sass 
seedling. The flowers are small and wide- 
ly flaring, in perfect proportion to the low 
stalks which are well branched, insuring a 
long season of bloom. Plants small but 
vigorous and prolific of bloom and_in- 
crease. $1.00 
DAYDAWN, Whiting 1940. No. 39143 
(MATULA X SUMMER TAN). Mid-sea- 
son, 38 inches. Softly blended pink and 
golden yellow—fresh as the morning. 
Flowers are large and well carried on tall, 
strong stalks. Large, sturdy plants bloom 
and increase freely. 50c, 3 for $1.00 
ETUDE, Whiting 1949. No 4375 ((MID- 
WEST GEM X MATULA) X VEISHEA). 
Mid-season, 40 inches. A fascinating study 
in color harmony. Smooth blending of 
warm, creamy pink and yellow, with a 
flush of light blue on the falls. The flow- 
ers are large, of pleasingly ruffled form 
and excellent substance. The tall, well 
branched stalks carry many buds grace- 
fully. Plants are strong and hardy with 
good growing habits. $3.00 
FROSTY BLUE, Whiting 1941. No. 3933 
SHINING WATERS X GLORIOLE). Mid- 
season, 38 inches. A _ beautifully clear, 
frosty, light blue self. The large, widely 
flaring flowers have heavy substance and 
a glistening texture. The stalks are espe- 
cially well branched, carrying 9 to 11 
blooms. Some of the finest white seedlings 
we have ever grown are coming from 
LADY MOON X FROSTY BLUE. The 
plants are strong and hardy with generous 
bloom and increase. 75c, 3 for $1.50 
GARDEN GLORY 
GALLANTRY, Whiting 1945. No. 4078 
(WINNESHIEK X MATA HARI). Mid- 
season to late, 36 inches. A heavily ruffled, 
deep blue purple self, very unique in form 
and most attractive. The standards are not 
“domed” but held stiffly in a frilled cup, 
the falls flare broadly and are also heavily 
frilled. The subtsance is firm, the texture 
glossy, the color sun proof. Strong, widely 
branched stalks carry many blooms over a 
long period. Plants husky and prolific. 
$3.00, 3 for $6.00 
GARDEN GLORY, Whiting 1943. No. 4055 
(THE RED DOUGLAS .X GARDEN 
MAGIC) Mid-season to very late, 34 
inches. Deep wine red self with a glossy 
satin sheen. The color is warm and rich, 
glowing even on a dark day. The crisp, 
heavy substanced flowers withstand sun, 
wind and rain. The branching is in ex- 
cellent proportion to the size of bloom and 
the height of stalk. Some people wish that 
it might be taller or redder, but we like it 
just as it is and make no apology. The 
bronze red beard, the perfectly smooth, 
clean haft, the trim, flaring form, all add 
to its charm. The plants are not always 
large but are perfectly hardy, prolific and 
free flowering. We appreciated this com- 
ment in the 1949 Iris Year Book (England): 
“Garden Glory looks better every year and 
is consistently outstanding in spite of new 
and so called redder introductions. In 
height it is fairly short but its ruby red 
flowers throw their deep lustre from a 
distance at which many irises become in-
