GILT EDGE, Whiting 1941. No. 4011 
(HAPPY DAYS X MATULA). Mid-sea- 
son, 38 inches. A large, shapely iris of 
cool lemon cream, delicately edged with 
light chrome _ yellow. An _ enchanting 
flower that becomes more popular each 
year. Garden visitors often think it mus: 
be one of the new seedlings. It has never 
had an award, but if we had kept a record 
of all the compliments it has received, they 
would fill a small book. Tall, rather high 
branched, with excellent growing habits.

GLAD TIDINGS, Whiting 1947. No 4246 
(CAMITOLAT exX= COPPERS) PIECE)» xX 
AMARANTH). Late, 32 inches. A wax 
yellow iris of most unusual form and 
branching habit. The large, waxy flowers 
cling close to the stalk which resembles a 
spike of gladiolus. Very effective in the 
garden and stunning in formal flower ar- 
rangements. It breaks all the branching 
“rules”, but try a clump of it in front of 
VATICAN PURPLE and watch your gar- 
den visitors. Plants are robust and flori- 
ferous. $3.00, 3 for $7.00

garden. Pure lemon cream, accented by 
a deeper yellow haft and a wide yellow 
edging around the falls. Tall, well branch- 
ed, vigorous in growth and free flowering.
