Tranquil Moon, with Viburnum and Zebra Iris Leaves 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an intermediate be- 

 cause of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are self- 

 colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. HM 

 AIS, 1940 1 ; AM, 1942. 



PINK SENSATION (David Hall, 1948) Each $8.00 



From the garden of the world's foremost 1 breeder of pink Irises we se- 

 lected this new creation when it first flowered in the spring of 1946. True 

 delicate light pink, without any influence of lilac or salmon tones, and 

 sporting the famous tangerine or orange-red beard, it is just the kind of 

 pink Iris you have been wanting. PINK SENSATION is a large flower, 

 full and rounded in form, with laciniated petal edges. Extremely early — 

 one of the very first of the tall bearded to come into flower. Height 

 about 33 inches. Shown on page 44. HM AIS, 1950 ; AM, 1952. 



PINNACLE (Stevens, 1949) Each $7.50 



With standards of clear sparkling white and well formed broad falls of 

 clean primrose-yellow this is really something new in Iris. Bred in New 

 Zealand; it is a good grower with perfect branching on 3-foot stems. 

 Very much in demand and will sell out early. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 

 Illustrated on page 43. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET 



(H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



All that has been said about this gorgeous 

 Sass creation is true, but it simply has to 

 be seen Do be realized. The blendings of 

 peach, apricot, rose, copper and gold are 

 so well done that one is at a loss to describe 

 it adequately. A fine big flower that will 

 give you a thrill every time you look at it. 

 HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1941; Dykes Medal, 

 1943. 



PRETENDER (Cook, 195 JJ 



Each $12.00 



The best of a series of "blue-failed varie- 

 gatas" from the originator of Amigo, In- 

 diana Night, Pink Bountiful, Dreamcastle, 

 Tranquil Moon and a multitude of famed 

 varietes. Standards are soft yellow, falls 

 solid velvety blue-purple with narrow lighter 

 margin. Genuinely different! 35 inches 

 tall with large flowers. HM AIS, 1952. 



PRETTY QUADROON 



(Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $7.50 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or 

 pale tan, with a hint of lavender and gold 

 as an undertone. The flowers are of fault- 

 less form — wide hafts, spreading falls and 

 large, closed standards. The beard is brown. 

 It is a color most difficult to describe but 

 it has much more life and attraction than 

 these coppery tans usually provided. The 

 one seed pod from whence it came (Mexico 

 x Tobacco Road) produced at least six of 

 these interesting blends and we selected 

 this and VOODOO as the best and most 

 novel in color. Height 33 to 36 inches. 

 It is shown on page 40. HM AIS, 1948; 

 AM, 1950. 



PRINCE OF ORANGE 



(Kleinsorge, 1940) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A seedling of Far West and Naranja. Solid 

 golden orange, one of the richest things in 

 the garden picture. Flowers of medium size, 

 very flaring in form, widely spaced along the 

 branching stems. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



PROSPECTOR 



(Kleinsorge, 1950) Each $6.00 



Shown on page 12. Deepest golden yellow 

 . . . almost an orange . . . with the falls 

 carrying a bold patch of clean ivory-white. 

 For combined depth of color and brilliance 

 at the same time PROSPECTOR has no 

 equal amongst the yellows. The amply 

 large flowers are produced abundantly; they are well formed with widely 

 flaring falls and closed standards. Height about 34 to 36 inches. Of the 

 many first rate yellow Iris available these days there are none quite like 

 this one. HM AIS, 1951. 



QUECHEE (Knowlton, 1950) Each $7.00 



A handsome garnet-red self. Standards are cupped, the falls flaring and 

 rounded and the bronze beard is thick and heavy. Of good and ample 

 size but not extra large. It is one of the reddest and is an easy grower 

 producing its brillant flowers abundantly on 36-inch stalks. HM AIS, 

 1950. Pictured on page 41. 



RADIATION (Hall, 1948) Each $8.00 



A pleasing tone of orchid-pink, the standards and falls the same color, 

 with a remarkable deep tangerine beard and burnt orange glow at the 

 heart. Standards of the large flowers are domed, the falls semi-flaring 

 and very wide. A more intensely colored flower than Cherie or Heritage, 

 it produces a most vivid pink garden picture. Heavy substance and sturdy 

 growth on 32-inch well branched stalks. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950.
