Mr. Clarence C. Connell of Nashville, Tenn. has given us many fine iris, the most famous being [[TbAthruE.TbDauntless]['Dauntless]], probably better known throughout the world than any other iris of American origination. This year I am delighted to introduce two of his new iris that are most distinctve and of great merit. They are: [[TbAthruE.TbComrade]['Comrade']], a bright dusty pink with a strong suffusion of gold throughout, this iris was named as a dedication to the memory of Chancellor Kirkland and Mr. Washington, and it is a splendid tribute to these two great men; [[TbPthruT.TbPicotee]['Picotee']] is not a large flower but it is the clearest blue and white plicata and has great garden value. These two iris live up to the high standard set by Mr. Connell in his introductions.
