Each $ OLD PARCHMENT Another top-notcher from David Hall, with buffy rose standards and berry red falls edged lighter—a splendid garden effect of bright rose pink. Of extra large size, the flowers having an over-all spread of eight inches! It is a strong grower, 38 inches tall, and never re- guires staking in rain or wind. Very late; in the Chicago area it lasts until late June. This magnificent iris has a lustrous guality that causes it to fairly shine in the sun. Each $ Years of painstaking work in hybridiz- ing by Mr. Lapham have brought forth several of our finest reds and pinks. Now comes this newest and reddest of all reds, a color so startling and so vivid that critics declare, "It is almost scarlet!" Standards are of about the same inten- sity of color as the falls, but the latter are very velvety in texture and thus appear slightly darker. About the size and shape of Garden Magic. Height 36 inches. Very few plants.
