MYSTIC MELODY (Stevens 1951) $7.50 
This is a sister to Summit. While there is not as much color 
contrast in Mystic Melody as there is in Summit, we think the 
form is better and the petals broader. The enamelled butter 
yellow falls create a “melody of sweet music’’ with the standards 
of soft cream. An impressive Iris. 39”. Mid-late. Honorable Men- 
tion 1952.

One of a series of the medium sized dainty and adorable onco- 
breds with a saucer flare form and round petals. The ground

violet. The Rhizomes are small. 24”.

good white, with heavy substance and broad petals. Mid-season. 
NORTH WESTERN (F. Cook 1952) $10.00

OYEZ (C. G. White) $1.00 
This is the second listed variety of these dainty “little oncobred 
beauties’. Oyez is the most colorful of them all, and perhaps the 
most “eyecatching™ in that its color is of an off white ground, 
so heavily veined in a brickish red, with perhaps a little red- 
purple influence, as to create a solidness of the color. This too 
has the medium size rounded petals in that very flaring form. 
24”. Rhizomes are quite small.

Red Iris fire one’s enthusiasm. Here is a new bright red

the petals. 36”. Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1952.
