CHAR-MAIZE (D. Lyon 1949) $10.00 
(Snow Flurry x Aztec Copper) A large flowered Iris of exception- 
al merit. Extra fine in proportion and heavy of substance with 
falls and standards delicately ruffled. For richness of color this 
flower is hard to surpass, for the deep yellow shows rich tones 
of chartreuse which blend and deepen in the ruffling to present 
a flower of definite quality. The heavy substance withstands de- 
grees of heat and wind such as to wilt the average Iris. Char-maize 
is vigorous, presenting well spaced flowers on tall branching stems.

Mention A.J.S. 1949. See illustration on Page No. 2.
