This beautiful blue is a child of the famous 
Iris, Helen McGregor, that won the Dykes 
Medal in 1949. Deeper in color, but with 
similar form and substance, it possesses 
great color appeal. A very clear blue self 
with well domed standards, arched and 
smoothly finished, the semi-flaring falls 
are lightly fluted at the edges. Firm tex- 
tured and of exquisite color, it possesses 
that mark of distinction that is a charac- 
teristic of so many iris bred by Dr. Graves. 
This iris has been tested in many parts of 
this country as well as in England and is 
in high favor wherever grown. H. C., A.

the edge a narrow border of copper gold.
