SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton 1944) EM. 38’. 
An Iris of precise styling, lovely poise and smooth tailored 
appearance. A beautiful very light blue of classic form. There 
is a charm about blue Iris that other Iris, with the possible 
exception of the new pinks, somehow miss. Fragrant. HM’46. 
AM’49. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36’. 
Strong growing tea rose with buff shadings. This deep shade 
of mallow pink with its coppery shadings gives the effect of 
a copper pink. Perfect form. HM’45. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
TECHNICOLOR (Whiting 1950) M. 34’’. * 
A brilliant red with a Spanish brown cast, this breeder’s 
closest approach to red with just a hint of mahogany. A rich 
and glowing color from the cross of Garden Glory x Rocket, 
both superior Iris in their own right. HM’50. See back cover 
for color picture. $7.50 
THE ADMIRAL (Hall 1941) ML. 36’. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper than 
medium blue but not really dark. Form is unusual. Falls flare

ing. HM’40. AM’44. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton 1945) EM. 38’’. 
A gleaming, large full formed white Iris with a bright gold

A deep maroon with velvety falls that appear to have a 
blackish maroon overlay. Sturdy upright standards, very well 
branched stems, with a very generous supply of buds bloom-

ing over a very long period. HM’51. 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent Iris. A vibrant red of rich plush-like quality. 
Rich, rosy wine red solid to the haft. It is a sterling, gorgeous- 
ly rich, deep dark Dahlia red. Critics agree it is one of the 
inest Iris we have. AM’39. DM’41 75c; 3 for $2.00 
THOTMES Ill (Kleinsorge 1950) M. 40’. 
A sultry, sombre medium to light toned golden
