VEILED IN MYSTERY (Milliken) 
A COLOR BREAK, the entire flower has the ap- 
pearance of antique satin in an off-white with 
an ethereal dusting of the palest chartreuse. Both 
standards and falls are exquisitely fluted and ruf- 
fled. A full violet beard gives this flower a most 
unusual beauty—different from anything we have 
ever seen. Mysterious and very lovely. $25.00 
VEISHA (Whiting) 
Pronounced Vee-sha and named for a festival at 
Iowa State College. A bright blend of copper and 
rose which makes a come-hither spot in the gar- 
den. 3 ft. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
VENETIAN RED(Milliken) 
A smooth Venetian red self, enriched by a light 
brown overlay which gives an antique red of un- 
usual beauty. The flowers are medium sized and 
nicely ruffled. A lovely cinnamon beard gives the 
final finishing touch to this attractive flower. 
3) 1H $5.00 
VENTURA (Walker) 
A lovely mulberry, heavily marked with reddish- 
brown on either side of the golden beard. A most 
interesting flower, as it is well shaped and flowers 
profusely. 3 ft. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
VIGIL (Wills) 
A charming white, with one of the longest pe- 
riods of bloom known. This variety starts bloom- 
ing with the early flowering iris, keeps on with 
the intermediates and finishes with the late bloom- 
ers. All this and heavenly bloom, too—it’s certainly 
worth a show place in your garden. 3 ft. $3.00 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (Smith) 
A deep violet well shaped flower which is right 
up at, or near, the front in its color class. 3 ft. 
75c; 3 for $2.00

A flower of sharp and pleasing contrasts. The 
standards are white, the falls velvety violet with 
white edges. 3 ft. 50c; 3 for $1.25

TOURNAMENT QUEEN (Milliken) 
A bright fuchsia-toned flower, firmly built and flaring, 
which spreads seven inches or more. The texture and 
lustre is like that of closely woven fine-thread nylon. The 
petals are serrated and are flexed enough so that portions 
of them are always highlighted. The flexing in the stand- 
ards makes it possible to look into the flower at the beau- 
tiful broad styles. These are chartreuse with a fuchsia 
ridge down the middle. Very fragrant. Early. Hardy every- 
where. See color illustration on page 21. 3 ft. $1.50 
Permanent Garden Label

) 
MILLIKEN 
This is the finest permanent gar- 
den label on the market. The name 
plate is an aluminum tape ¥% inch 
wide with raised letters. The holder 
is spot-welded to a heavy galvanized 
iron wire 30 inches in length and 
both holder and wire stake are fin- 
ished in a durable dark green lacquer. 
Not conspicuous in the garden but 
easily read at a distance of 10 feet.

TRAIL BLAZER (Milliken) 
We are proud of Trail Blazer. As the name implies, it is 
a fiery red-mulberry purple, shot with blue at the tip of 
the beard which spreads over the central portion of the 
falls creating a startlingly brilliant color effect. A touch 
of deep ruby red flanks the cinnamon b2ard and adds 
depth and richness to the flower. The standards arch and 
are closed, while the falls are shaggy and slightly ruffled. 
A most interesting flower. 34 to 4 feet. See color illus- 
tration on page 16. $7.50 
We believe this is an ideal label 
because it is always in a position 
easy to read and because it is entirely 
weather-proof. Simply send us the 
names of the irises or other plants 
for which you desire labels.
