Hybrid between a Muir Peach and a white 
Nectarine. Possesses rich yellow flesh and a

shipping better than the ordinary nectarine

During the past twelve years I have 
grown and tested over twelve thousand 
iris hybrids. Tests have also been made of 
the finest iris varieties from all over the 
world. From the many thousands of hybrid 
iris tested, I have selected twelve new 
varieties that have proven themselves 
superior in their respective color classes. 
Most notable advances have been made in 
the bronze, copper and peach colored types 
such as Irene, Copper King, Monte Cristo, 
Copper Sheen and Sunset Glow. Our 
outstanding creations in blues are Lillian 
Rowell, Royal Blue and Carolyn Cory. In 
plicatas the new Mrs. K. S. Battelle and 
Mrs. G. Smith are particularly outstanding. 
Each producing mammoth flowers. A new 
type being a cross of iris Susiana and El 
Capitan is unusually beautiful. “Lavender
