Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Lake Breeze (Fay 1945) A midseason blooming variety that is most refreshing and 
lovely. A large, very ruffled light blue iris with just a suspicion of pink delicate- 
ly diffused on the center of the standards and falls. Broad, full standards, firm- 
ly held and almost meeting over the beard. The falls are flaring and wide, with 
no haft markings. Orange beard shading off to white at the tip. 37”. $1.00 
Limelight (Hall 1952) Canary yellow with a lighter area on the falls. Due to the 
heavily frilled edges of the standards and falls this iris appears to be trimmed 
with lace. Grow a few of these for your fancy cut-flower arrangements. 35”. 
$10.00 
Louise Blake (Smith 1943) Pale sky-blue standards and velvety blue falls, edged 
sky blue. Amigo type, but lighter in color. $1.00 
Lynn Langford (D. Hall 1946) Here is another grand iris originated by Mr. Hal] 
that seems to be a general favorite with all visitors in the garden. A deep toned, 
orchid-pink with a golden yellow center which is smoothly blended into the 
orchid pink without veining. The flower is large, of good form, heavy substance 
and is carried on a strong 36” stem. A very free bloomer and an outstanding 
creation. $2.00 
Marion Vaughn (K. Smith 1947) Clear soft lemon yellow. Flowers are medium- 
sized and always have a cool, crisp appearance. Midseason. 36”. $3.50 
Marquita (Cayeux 1931) An amoena type in cream and watermelon rose. Its lumi- 
nous cream standards are the last word in serene but warm exquisiteness. The 
watermelon-rose falls are veined rather than solidly colored. A lovely iris. 60c 
Mary Randall (Fay 1951) This deep rose pink self with bright tangerine-red beard 
is a new color in iris. ‘Bengal Rose’ in the Royal H.S. Color Chart. Flowers

stems. Plants are large and vigorous with good foliage. Midseason. $20.00

charm and flare to the form. The flower has a wonderful sheen that gives it a 
glowing, rich effect. Color is excellent and it does not fade. Vigorous, free flower- 
ing and excellently branched. 38”. 75¢

orable Mention, American Iris Society, in 1946. $3.50

beard. Early bloomer. 36”. $2.50
