LILAC LANE, Whiting 1947. 
((PURISSIMA X MATULA) X GILT 
EDGE). Mid-season to late, 36 inches. A 
soft toned lilac self with a silvery finish. 
A most refined and graceful flower that 
has met with wide spread approval. The 
blooms are large and full and well carried 
on strong, moderately branched stalks. The 
rugged, hardy plants bloom and increase 
freely. H. M. 1948, (Lacked 3 votes for 
A. M. 1950). Symposium 1950. $8.00

LODESTONE, Whiting 1950. No. 462 
(OLA KALA X ROCKET). Early mid- 
season, 32 inches. Very deep chrome yel- 
low to orange, slightly deeper on falls. Its 
vivid coloring draws visitors like a magnet. 
Warmer and deeper in tone than its sister, 
GOLD SOVEREIGN, it is not quite as 
sharply brilliant. Crossed with TECHNI- 
COLOR, it is bringing some dazzling red 
seedlings. The plants are very prolific of 
bloom and increase, so are moderately 
priced. $3.50 
MAPLE FLAME, Whiting 1950. No. 4676 
(PRAIRIE SUNSET X VEISHEA). Late, 
36 inches. A brilliant flash of color for the 
late garden, like maple trees in October. 
The standards are of rich, warm gold, 
lightly flushed with cardinal red; the falls 
heavily overlaid with cardinal except at 
the smooth gold haft. The flowers are 
large and full with heavy subtsance and 
fair branching. The plants have excellent 
growing habits. It blooms too late to be 
seen by the average visitor, but is a pleas- 
ant surprise to those who came late. By 
persistent efforts toward prolonging the 
blooming season, we have developed a 
good many late flowering varieties. By 
grouping these, one can keep a part of the 
iris garden interesting for weeks after the 
usual season. $8.00
