Morrison, Avalc Afterglow, Dream, Mme. Cheri, Mother of Pearl, Nancy Orne, Que Caterina, Shekinah. She has a tremendous number of fine Iris to her credit, and all i can do is to call attention to those we consider the finest of them. Go Imperial, is the best yellow, with the sole exception of Am'br Mother of Pearl is known to everyone; Dream, a pink ranks very clo to the top; Tyrian is a wonderful deep claret color, with very velve falls and is one of Miss Sturtevant's masterpieces.
