same glossy purple. $2.00; 3 for $5.00

trasting white blaze on the falls—gleaming like new-minted 
silver dollars—summon the garden visitor from afar. Singled

distance it gives a red effect. HM’44. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens 1951) ML. 38”. 
With Ola Kala riding the crest of popularity it would seem 
that a newcomer of even deeper golden coloring, larger size 
and more opulent form would also be destined for the peak 
of popularity! Royal Sovereign rivals Rocket in its intensity 
of coloring and reminds one of the lustrous light golden 
orange of the California Poppy. A glorious new Iris of 
smooth, very light orange. Sensational as is the color, the 
rich plush-velvet of the falls and the rigidly held, taffeta 
textured standards, are equally so. A true self without a 
single vein or variation in color, this Iris is destined for a 
great future. Unlike most Iris with orange toning, it will 
stand the hottest sun without either fading or bleaching
