REHOBETH— 
(1953) ‘Peace in the Valley.” We 
like the name of this large, pale 
sky blue Iris. It seems to have that 
effect. As Larry Gaulter worded it, 
“soul satisfying.” The flowers mea- 
sure seven inches, and over, but 
have substance, as well as a leath- 
er-like texture with satin sheen. A 
quality to this Iris that must be 
seen to be appreciated. $25.00
