AN UNUSUAL IRIS BEAl^ING THE NAME OF AN 

 UNUSUAL ANNAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY 



A 1941 RELEASE THAT SOLD OUT 

 EAT^LY. HUGE^I^ICH AND IMPRESSIVE 



Bataan 



Each $10.00 



A very dark hlend of coppery plum, henna and rich brown. 

 Freshly opened flowers exhibit a very pronounced henna 

 cast, some of which is missing in the illustration. An attrac- 

 tive feature of this iris is its rather oval shape, the falls 

 starting to flare widely and then gracefully curving down- 

 ward and slightly backwarci at the tips . . . horizontally oval, 

 not elongated. This provides an eyefuU when viewed at any 

 angle. 



Casting about for a name befitting a Piower with colors 

 remindful of peoples of the Far East, we hit upon Bataan, 

 a name that will live long in American history as a symbol 

 of valor and sacrifice. 



Dr. Kleinsorge again gives us something apart from the 

 usual run of iris colors, in a plant with good growing habits, 

 well branched stalks, and flowers above average size. Height 

 three feet or slightly over. More stock permits lower price 

 than in the case of Tobacco Road or Ormaco. 



Manka 



Each $5.00; 3 for $10.00 



A very tall pronounced bi-color with apricot yellow standards 

 and pinky lavender falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that 

 reach four feet, widely and abundantly branched, making it 

 ideal for garden effect. Viewed as a clump, it gives the 

 impression of a mass of apricot-tan and pink. Individual 

 blossoms are very large, well spaced and long lasting. 



It was our intention to introduce this iris last year, but 

 since we were putting out Daybreak at that time we thought 

 two pink-toned iris in the same set might be confusing to 

 the public, even though they are nothing alike in either form 

 or color. Now we have ample stock and the introductory 

 price is thus much reduced. Idanha is an Oregon Indian name. 



Each $7.50 



Kleinsorge, 1941. Although introduced a year ago, we place 

 it "up front" because it is actually still spanking new and 

 ranks with the cream of all of our introductions in the past 

 dozen years. 



Solid and uniform old gold, a flower of startling size and 

 of broadly spreading form. The color is not dull, but very 

 much alive, due to a peculiar overlay of "rusty red," which 

 seems to come from nowhere but is apparent in all parts of 

 the flower. This iris is a pronounced self from top to bottom, 

 and it carries remarkably well in the garden. Of medium 

 height, the gigantic blooms are on a level that permits full 

 observation of their size and beauty. 30 to 3b inches. The 

 color plate is accurate.
