has been described as one of the most 
colorful and fiery blends of the present 
day. The large flowers have a basic color

KATHERINE FAY. (Fay, 1945). M. This 
is considered one of the best whites and 
has won high praise especially in the 
middle west. The standards are ruffled 
and tightly closed, the falls are semi- 
flaring with enough ruffling to take away 
any tailored appearance. H.C., A. I. S., 
1944, H. M., A. I. S., 1945. A. M., ALI. S.,

KING’S JESTER. (Stevens 1948). M. 34

most unusual plicata of cream with dark 
purplish brown veinings. Quite similar 
to the pattern of the old Arksarben. $1.50 
LADY ALBRIGHT. (Muhl. 1950). M. L. 
(Veishea x Bronzed Copper). One 
of the brightest blends we have seen.

of gold at the haft and a border of the 
same adds further brilliance. H. M.,,

42 inches. A large pure white with broad 
ruffled standards that dome perfectly and 
Substance is 
heavy and the flowers are nicely placed on 
tall well branched stalks. The most per- 
fect new white iris we have seen. A. M., 
1948. P. R. 90. 75¢ 
LADY LOUISE. (Graves, 1947). M. L. 
Distinctive in both color and pattern, the 
large, broad ruffled standards of Colonial 
buff (Ridgeway) are roundly domed and 
firmly held by the very strong midrib. 
The falls are irridescent white with a 
clear fluted border of Colonial buff, wid- 
ening each side of the orange beard, and 
blending into the slightly deeper buff of 
the styles. The fascinating buds are an 
added attraction with their olive yellow 
coloring contrasting strongly with the 
Lime green midrib, and showing plainly 
the ruffling of the flowers even in the 
folded buds. Firm substanced flowers, 
well spaced on four way branching sturdy 
stalks. H. M., A. I. S., 1947. 44 in. $2.25 
LADY MOHR. The sensational oyster 
white and greenish yellow that made his- 
tory. A grand thing. 60c

blue; a brilliant orange beard. 50c

with suspicion of pink on center of stand- 
ards, falls. H. M., 1945. 75¢ 
LAKE SHANNON. This is a clear blue 
with large flowers. H. M., 1945. 50c 
LADY OF SHALOT. A rose-pink frilled 
plicata that is very lovely. To all intents 
and purposes this is a pink plicata. 5c 
LAMPLIGHT. Tranquil, beautiful, soft 
blend. A fresh buff self with a lamplight 
glow. The flower possesses lots of style 
and is lovely because its color is softly, 
deftly combined without veining in a har- 
monious whole. 60c

in. Like an orchid pink Helen McGregor 
in its classic perfection is this copiously

phasized by a gold illumined beard and 
haft. $15.00
