MELODY LANE. (Hall, 1949). Bright, 
glistening gold apricot, although it came 
from two flamingo-pink seedlings. The 
color is most attractive and new, with

are very large with some ruffling, good 
form and a heavy brilliant tangerine 
beard. Early, with 36-inch stems. A. M.,

glorious hues. The combination of salmon 
and gold brown is done well in this bright 
colored blend. H. M. 90c

ricot blend that is one of the finest things 
offered in late years. H. M. 1952. $1.00

has been given it. Tall stalks show the 
well spaced blooms to perfection. H. C., 
‘ipl, lel, ly Gy $9.00 
MEXICAN FIESTA. (Lyell, 1949). M. L. 
40 in. This new variegata is one of the 
most brilliant iris in its class. Standards

overlay of brilliant Pompeian red. A cop- 
pery pattern around the full golden beard 
gives added life and light. Strong stalks 
with good branching. $3.00
