A giant in size and an excellent all- 
reund iris as well. It's a smooth, 
clear colered medium blue self with 
huge, beautifully fermed, heavily

just naturally big all cover. Heavy 
stalks, 38ato..44.in.,tall. 1.00

many years standing. 36-40 in. $15 
IT TAKES JUST AS MUCH ROOM AND CARE TO 
GROW AN OLD, OBSOLETE IRIS AS IT DOES TO 
GROW ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL, NEWER ONES.
