BAGHDAD Whiting 1946. No. 4275 
(GARDEN GLORY X GOLDEN SPIKE). 
Late, 36 inches. Deep cobalt yellow self 
overlaid with a metallic luster of burnish- 
ed brass. The extremely heavy substance 
gives it great resistance to sun and wind 
and makes it a joy in the late garden. The 
hotter it gets, the better it looks. The 
strong stalks are very widely branched, 
carrying 9 to 11 buds which develop slowly 
over a long period so are never crowded. 
It often keeps on blooming well into late 
June here. $2.50

1948 ((TIFFANY X SIEGFRIED) X (128-

inches. A unique and fascinating yellow 
plicata. The ground color is clear yellow, 
heavily patterned with rich red brown. 
The falls are almost solidly dotted at the

well rounded flowers on nicely branched 
stalks. Strong, hardy plants. $3.50

(VATICAN PURPLE X

and full, with well domed standards and 
nicely arched falls. The vigorous plants 
bloom freely and make a most effective 
garden clump. $3.00

I saw NORTHWESTERN in your garden 
at the 1950 Meeting and have been watch- 
ing for it ever since. Now I hear that you 
are to list it, but do not know the price. 
I am enclosing $10.00 as a down payment— 
will pay the rest any time, just so I get the 
iris—Mrs. Ralph S. Neson, Coeur d’Alene, 
Idaho.
