MOULIN ROUGE (Tompkins, '54) Each $12.00

.\ptly described by the name, this Iris is actually something new and 

 different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the self-colored blooms / 

 well aloft, and the branching is good. Most unusual in color, it i 

 might be termed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded brown. i 

 The heavy bronze beard is an added asset. HM AIS, 1943; AM. 1944. '

A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as white 

 as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great deal 

 of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft 

 veinings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches 

 tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the 

 world's best white Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. See page 40. 



NUEVO LAREDO fK/e/nsorge, '56;. Each $15.00

 violet and brown. It is very large in size, the petals waved and 

 curled in the manner of Cascade Splendor, to which it is related.

 picture on page 45 is a very good likeness. Named for the colorful 

 Mexican town on the Rio Grande. Height 3'/2 to 4 feet.
