EL PASO (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^10.00 



This seedling of Tobacco Road crossed with Goldbeater is a richer, 

 brighter, more lively golden brown than the famous "tobacco 

 colored" parent. It has a luminous, metallic finish which gives it 

 exceptional richness and a glowing quality which most browns 

 seem to lack. Standards are closed and the broad falls flare grace- 

 fully. A large fjower of medium height — about 32-34 inches; good 

 branching.

OPAL CLOUD (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^10.00 



A huge blend of pinkish opalescent lints. Not a pink Iris, but a 

 harmony of pearl and opal and soft rose with coppery shading near 

 the border of the falls. This copper suffusion is present near the 

 hafts and the crests are copper colored. The over-all effect is a 

 sort of terra-cotta-pink with pale violet suffusions. Cascade Splendor 

 crossed with Daybreak. 42 inches tall and vei7 well branched. 



BLACK RUBY (Dolman, 1949) Each ^10.00 



An almost black-red, extra smooth and glossy. It is very early, be- 

 ing one of the first of the tall bearded Iris to open. Hafts are clean 

 and devoid of markings, the bronze-gold beard seemingly placed 

 on a solid piece of velvety crimson-black. Branching is good and 

 the stems are about 34 to 36 inches in height. Increases rapidly 

 and soon forms a fine clump. HC AIS. 1946.
