DANCING DEB (Tomp. 1952) M. L. 38 in. 
(Delilah x Seashell sdlg.) x Jake. A large, 
beautifully formed flower of clear, light 
heliotrope, this has very broad petals 
and extremely wide hafts. The petals 
are deeply and gracefully ruffled and 
the form is near perfect as the standards 
are beautifully arched and domed while 
the falls are jauntily flaring. We think 
this is one of the loveliest and most 
delightful iris we have produced and 
have been well pleased to find it also a 
favorite with every visitor to our gard- 
ens. We grow it in combination with 
Waltz Time which is an exact counter- 
part in deep cream, and with Love Story 
and the trio is one of the best liked 
groups in the show garden. H. M. 1953
