TALL BEARDED IRIS 
This year we are very proud to be the introducers of BLUE STEEL and LAKE WALDEN, two excellent new iris and the 
co-introducers of four fine iris GUSSIE, SUGARPLUM, ANTHEA, and TRELAWNEY. These six stunning new iris are New 
England originations, the first two from Mrs. Irving Fraim of Waltham, Massachusetts, and the other four are the newest offer- 
ings of the well-known iris hybridizer, Mrs. Preston Corey of Reading, Mass. 
After growing and evaluating thousands of iris seedlings for many years, Mrs. Fraim has finally consented to the intro- 
duction of what she and the late Dr. Fraim considered their two finest seedlings. 
Mrs. Preston Corey's hybridization work needs no introduction. Her former offerings—BAY STATE, JACK FROST, CAL- 
DERA, HIGH SEAS, and BIRD SONG—place her as one of the top iris hybridizers of today. These other iris will be found in 
our general listing. po ARETE cs ok vege ERS Ag iE ORBIT OR Ck = RE, be oe |
