Toast an' Honey 



GAIN we present the newest accomp- 

 lishments of two of America's most distin- 

 guished and discriminating Iris hybridizers — 

 Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge of Silverton, Oregon, 

 and David F. Hall of Wilmette, Illinois. 24 % 

 of the list of 100 Favorites listed on page 46 

 came from these two men of long experience 

 in plant breeding. 



TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, 1953) Each $30.00 

 An altogether different tan and brown Iris from 

 the originator of such things as Tobacco Road, EI 

 Paso, San Antone, Good News, Bryce Canyon and 

 Thotmes III. A full and generously proportioned 

 flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring and 

 waved at the edges. General color is rich light gold- 

 en brown, like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded 

 deeper toast-brown, especially on the edges and near the 

 hafts. It is of stocky build, well branched, with very large 

 blooms produced on 32-inch stems. 



CASCADE ROSE (Kleinsorge, 1953) Each $10.00 



A deep rose colored Iris with extra heavy rich gold beard 

 and smooth golden brown haft. The blooms are fully 

 formed, with falls that almost touch each other. It is a 

 splendid grower, a profuse bloomer, and a highly color- 

 ful Iris for landscape value. Related to Rose Splendor, 

 it is redder and much more brilliant than that variety. 



WATER LILY (Kleinsorge, 1953) Each $15.00 



Novel in form as well as color . . . We think you will 

 be delighted with this ivory-buff affair with flat falls 

 and closed but crinkled standards. The color and texture 

 will remind you of light toned chamois skin, sprinkled 

 with golden particles. There is a faint lavender cast in 

 the central area of the falls. Of medium but ample size, 

 about 34 inches in height. 



PASTELLA (Hall, 1953) Each $15.00 



Extra large lavender-rose self, from Flamingo Pink par- 

 entage. Pastella is not a pink, however. It is a luscious 

 shade of lavender with an all over rosy cast, standards 

 and falls the same color. The beard is tangerine-orange. 

 Of medium height and with limited branching, but so 

 outstanding otherwise as to attract attention from all 

 visitors.
