SARAH GOODLOE. (G. Douglas, 1949). 
M. L. Rarely do we see an iris that has 
such rich elegance as this tall and stately 
- one. This is due to the solid almost black- 
maroon color and the very velvety finish 
of the flowers. An iris that was highly 
' praised at the Nashville meeting. A long 
- flower with arched and highly domed 
standards of deep maroon. The falls are 
semi-flaring of the same color as the stan- 
dards, but with a deep velvet flush that 
extends into the heart of the bloom. The 
stalk is tall, strong and well branched.

deepest tone possible in a pure yellow,
