wi eacevini the Sealine, named for the estate of Mrs. Thura Hires. 
Mrs. Hires Wrote: “Here, one can sense the feeling of the years. 
Walking up the tree shaded lane to the Valley Friends Meeting 
house, and on across the way to an old stone wall and a rise of 
ground from which one looks across the hills to the arch on Valley 
Forge ground—a beautiful view.”

I felt this “Peace in the Valley” to be fitting for the clear, pale 
sky-blue iris so named. The flaring flowers measure seven inches 
and over. Of excellent, leather-like substance, with satin sheen. 
Closed standards. Wide somewhat ruffled falls. Strong, 36-inch stalk 
Three perfectly spaced blooms out at once. The substance, size, 
form and satin sheen of this variety make it outstanding. $25.00

those who wanted to record it in their notes. Very smooth self 
with center hue of “orange”. Self beard. Flaring flowers on a 
well branched stalk. Vigorous and ornamental foliage. $15.00
