Iri 



One of the great thrills of gardening cotnes 

 from the addition of brand new introductions — 

 fresh from the trial beds of the plant breeder. For 

 the past 18 years we have been offering the new- 

 est productions of Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge, whose 

 Irises have become world famous. Just a few of 

 his most notable ones are Bryce Canyon, Cascade 

 Splendor, Tobacco Road, Chamois, Ranger, Or- 

 mohr, Daybreak, Grand Canyon, Arctic, Old Par- 

 chment and General Patton .... the list could 

 go on and on! The four just released herewith are 

 of equally high merit. 



From the garden of John Dolman in Swarth- 

 more. Penna., comes a new velvety red. Black 

 Ruby. Mr. Dolman has been awarded an H. C. 

 certificate for this Iris. 



MINUET (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^10,00 



A heavily ruffled and fluted blend, predominantly old 

 gold in color but with falls of delicate lavender-blue 

 bordered with old gold. The finely netted haft is soft 

 brown, the beard very rich orange. Parentage is Cha- 

 mois X Cascade Splendor and the form of Minuet very 

 closely resembles this latter parent. 40 inches tall, me- 

 dium branching.

Ballet Dancer 



BALLET DANCER (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^15.00 



Resembling the swirling skirt in a "pirouette" this distinctive apricot-tan is 

 another Cascade Splendor seedling and a sister of Minuet. Standards are large, 

 fidl and closed. The falls are almost horizontal, very broad, waved and crimped 

 at the rim. Form is only one special attribute .... the coloring is delightful— 

 a bufly golden apricot self which carries well. 38 inches, large and well branched. 



BALLET DANCER growing in the Kleinsorge garden. Note spacing, branching 

 and the poise and flare of individual blossoms.
