Kenmore (1930)— S. and F. both a pale mauve with 
a touch of light buff in the center of the bloom. 
Arched and overlapping standards; flaring falls, and 
of fine shape. Bloom large, tall stalks (34 in.), and 
a fast grower. A lovely soft coloring. $1.00 each. 
Melrose (1926)— A large bi-color, both S. and F. 
being shades of lavender and purple. Fine shape and 
excellent substance. Complimented by some of the 
largest growers in the country, and it is one of our 
favorites. A very reliable bloomer. Height 26-28 
inches. 35c each; three, 75c. 
“Melrose is of such generous size and reliable perform¬ 
ance that I cannot omit it.”—Minnesota. 
“The one flower stalk had five immense blooms—two of 
which withstood two days of intense heat with a scorching 
wind blowing continuously. We liked the bloom, the color, 
the texture and shape, and its endurance under trying con¬ 
ditions. It certainly attracted attention in my garden 
where I grow some two hundred varieties.”—Illinois. 
Montpelier (1928)—A plicata, sometimes of too low 
a growth for the best effects, but its coloring is un¬ 
usual and attractive. Both S. and F. heavily stippled 
and veined purple-blue on a whitish ground. Finely 
shaped. 24 inches. 40c each; three, $1.00. 
Rozanna (1928)— A charming blend of pinkish- 
lilac, fawn and yellow; a dainty piece of coloring. 
Blooms of medium size, height 28 inches, and rated 
high in an A. I. S. symposium. 30c each; three, 65c. 
Senatobia (1928)— S. Dark violet; F. deep, dusky 
black-purple. Large blooms of fine shape. If you 
care for dark Irises you will like this one. The great 
blackish buds abundantly filling the stalk are them¬ 
selves a sight to see. Height 30-32 inches. H. M. 
by the A. I. S., 1924. 35c each; three, 75c. 
Topazin (1926)—S. and F. both a shade of soft 
coppery-yellow that is unusual and attractive, and 
richer in its tones than most of the yellows. A very 
late bloomer. H. M. by the A. I. S., 1926. 24 inches. 
60c each; three, $1.50. 
Of the above introductions, Arabian Prince, 
Gamalia, Senatobia, Crystal Pink and Topazin 
have been given awards by the American Iris 
Society, each receiving the coveted Honorable 
Mention; this is a proportionate record not 
equalled by many other introducers!
