Grape Juice Color as per Dictionary of 
Color; falls have underside of grayish 
white; edges heavily ruffled and flounced. 
Standards are ruffled on edges, same color 
as falls, but mid rib of standards shades 
to white at the haft. Well branched; 
flower placement very fine; large and 
holds color in hot sun. This commanding 
flower has nothing like it; in our exceed- 
ingly large collection of Iris it stands 
alone in its color. 38 inches tall; early to 
midseason. A novelty you will remem- 
ber. $7.50 
BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner 1953) E. 40 
in. To many fower lovers, the chief glory 
of Iris are the blues. Few other flowers 
can boast of this heavenly coloring. Here 
is a blue Iris of extra large size and ex- 
quisite purity which we feel takes its 
place alongside Helen McGrgor, Distance, 
Jane Phillips. A seedling of Chivalry and 
Snow Flurry, Blue Sapphire makes a mag- 
nificent clump exhibiting floriferousness 
and stalwart poise. Its charming ruffling 
belies its extra heavy substance. $10.00

Novel in form and color, scented. H. M., 
1947. A, M. 1949. $1.00

standards and white-bordered yellow 
falls, 60¢

liant of the “raspberry pinks” with a 
prominent tangerine beard. Extra fine 
growing qualities with tall, very well 
branched stems. It is a striking new Iris, 
original in coloring and poise. H. M.,

el like finish. Stalks are strong and well 
branched. H. M. 1950. $6.00 
BRONZE BROCADE. (Nesmith, 1948). 
M. L. The name is most descriptive of 
this lustrous warm blend of copper red 
and tobacco brown. The standards are 
bronzy red, very broad and roundly 
domed with strong midrib. The semi- 
flaring and ruffled falls have a brown 
undercolor blushed Corinthian purple
