ROYAL SOVEREIGN. (Stevens, 1951). 
Here is a new intense yellow iris that we 
believe will become very popular. Larger

of plush-like velvet and taffeta textured

tifully formed. Does not fade in the 
hottest sun and is a vigorous grower. 38 
inches. Medium late. $12.00

M.L. Rarely do we see an iris that has

one. This is due to the solid almost black- 
maroon color and the very velvety finish 
of the flowers. An iris that was highly 
praised at the Nashville meeting. A long 
flower with arched and highly domed 
standards of deep maroon. The falls are 
semi-flaring of the same color as the stan- 
dards, but with a deep velvet flush that 
extends into the heart of the bloom. The
