STAR SHINE (Wills 1949) ML. 38”.

gleam. A very subtle pastel. HM’49. AM’51. $7.00 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN 
PACEMAKER 
STATEN ISLAND (Smith 1947) L. 38”. * 
For a long, long time City of Lincoln has ruled as king of 
the variegatas. Now a new king reigns. Staten Island is cer- 
tainly tops in the variegatas. Bright yellow standards and 
solidly colored falls a bright red with gold edge. Jauntily 
formed blooms. In color page 23. HM’48. AM’51. $5.00 
SUMMIT (Stevens 1951) M. 40”. * 
Mrs. Stevens has produced three yellow amoenas or near 
amoenas: Pinnacle (light yellow and white), Summit (deep 
yellow and white) and Mystic Melody (deep yellow and 
cream). Of the three, Summit is the most contrasting by far 
and an Iris of seemingly epochal importance to the Iris 
breeder. A very tall Iris with superb branching, its moderate 
sized blooms have standards which are absolutely snow white 
and falls of a deep golden yellow, creating a wonderfully 
refreshing and breath-taking contrast. In New Zealand this 
is considered the best of Mrs. Stevens’ yellow amoenas. Every 
Iris hybridizer in America will want this outstanding novelty 
for use in his breeding program. Very fine likeness in color 
on page 46. $8.00 
SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge 1948) EM. 40”. * 
An impressive, blazing golden flame blend. In 
some light it seems almost red, at another angle 
it looks heavily influenced with burnished gold. 
This Iris was the winner of the President’s Cup 
for 1949 for the striking display it gave in the 
garden. HM’49. AM’51. $3.50 
SUSITNA SUNSET (Wilson 1947) M. 38”. 
A golden tinted blend of brown, yellow and faint 
red from two superb Iris, Casa Morena and Prairie 
Sunset. A sunset colored beauty indeed.
