INDIGO BUNTING Each $ Something different in clear blue, a rather deep shade, nicely formed, with an odd brownish suffusion near the haft. Flowers are freely produced, making it excellent as a garden or landscape subject. Good blues are in keen demand and this is one of the best in addition to being very new. ITASCA Each $ Raised by Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge, Silverton, Oregon. A positive self of the darkest, yet most vivid, deep amethyst. It carries no veining whatsoever, and the great depth of tone is intensified by a heavy brown beard, underlaid with blue. The texture is like silk, and the flowers are rounded in shape, with nicely branched stalks 30 to 36 inches high. Robert Schrei- ner, seeing this in flower in the originator's garden, declared it to be one of the greatest and most distinct irises turned out in recent years. See page 32. JEAN CAYEUX Each $; 3 for $ Certainly one of the most beautiful irises we have ever flowered in our gardens. Likewise, it is one of the most unusual in color—a soft, smooth, light buff, described by some as "coffee colored" and by others as Havana-brown. The form is perfect, as the accom- panying illustrations shows, and the size is larger than average. It is splendidly branched, over three feet tall, and flowers over a long season. Jean Cayeux has been awarded a Certificate of Merit by the French Horticultural Society, and in 1931 it won the Dykes Medal for the finest iris of the year. It is hsted in Schreiner's "100 ; See page 15. JERRY Each $; 3 for $ Raised by Mr. E. G. Lapham, Elkhart, Indiana. We take particular pleasure in being numbered among the joint introducers of this perfectly formed, extremely brilliant red iris. Mr. Lapham has a splen- did reputation for quality in his previous introduc- tions, and enthusiasts will find that Jerry is very close to the reddest
