CLOTH OF GOLD, Whiting 1945. No. 413 
(GOLDEN HIND X GOLDEN SPIKE). 
Early mid-season, 38 inches. A superb 
deep yellow self that grows more popular 
each year. Many judges consider it the 
finest pure yellow iris in commerce. Of 
classical form, heavy substance, excellent 
branching, sturdy growth and free bloom, 
it does seem to have about everything we 
demand in a good iris. H. M. 1947, A. M. 
1950. A.I.S. 100 Best Symposium 1947-48- 
49-50-51. $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
COCK PHEASANT, Whiting 1951. No. 
4659 (BAGHDAD X GARDEN FLAME). 
Mid-season to late, 34 inches. A flash of 
glowing color—like the plumage of a cock 
pheasant. Rich tapestry red or garnet, 
with a tantalizing overlay of terra cotta on 
the falls. The flowers are of moderate size, 
graceful form, firm substance and a sleek, 
well groomed finish. The height and 
branching are in good proportion to the 
bloom and foliage. The plants are strong 
and hardy with generous bloom and in- 
crease. $10.00 
COGNAC, Whiting 1951. No. 4677 (PRAI- 
RIE SUNSET X VEISHA). Late, 40 inches. 
A smooth and satisfying amber tan self, 
about the color of French brandy. The 
flowers are very large, shapely and sym- 
metrical. The wide full petals are grace- 
fully but not heavily ruffled. The stalks 
are tall, strong and fairly well branched, 
making an imposing garden picture. The 
plants are vigorous in growth with good 
blooming habits. $6.00 
COPPER KETTLE (W. 1950) No. 419 
((MATULA X GARDEN MAGIC) X 
PRAIRIE SUNSET). M., 32 inches. Bril- 
liant copper and red brown blend. 75¢ 
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. $1.50, 3 for $3.00
