COULDN’T BELIEVE HER EYES 
"I could hardly believe my eyes when the 
mail carrier delivered my iris today, for 
they had only been ordered a very few 
days. To tell the truth, | was a little afraid 
to risk an order from ‘‘Terry’s’’, your prices 
are so much cheaper. But I! won’t be 
again. I never saw nicer, healthier rhi- 
zomes. | am looking forward to spring, for 
1 know all these iris will bloom.”

DESERT SONG—(Fay 1946) EM. 40”. A 
nicely proportioned, artfully ruffled cream

DISPLAY— (Grant 1942) ML. 33”. Mr. 
Grant could not have chosen a more fit- 
ting name for the offspring of two fine 
parents. The Red Douglas x Christabel. 
A display indeed, of a fine Iris close to 
true red. Rich, smooth, glowing, un- 
veined Spanish red, shading to deep ma- 
roon at the haft. Yellow beard flecked 
brown. It’s truly a fine red-mahogany 
type Iris. This and a hundred or so others 
is what keeps the Iris grower enthused.

DOG ROSE—(Insole 1930) ML. 44”. Very 
tall, wiry stems, deep rose-pink self. It is 
a free bloomer, of medium size, with gold

is a nice older Iris, and makes a very 
colorful and effective pink garden clump, 
also very effective for background clumps. 
They make a beautiful cut flower too.
