Orient Pearl—42 in. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT BY 
THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. This is one of the sweetest 
Irises I have, because of its enchanting soft pastel tones. As a 
cut flower it is suberb. The standards are iridescent silky 
pearl grey, with a flush of canary yellow at the base. The falls 
are the same color, flushed very soft pink. The Iris is well 
named, as the name most aptly describes the color effect. 25 
Padishah—40 in. A new very large amber yellow self on tall 
branching stems, each plant producing several flower stalks. 
AWARDED A SILVER CUP AT THE IRIS SHOW IN NASHVILLE 
IN 1936 . 5.00 
Tall Bearded Iris 
(Continued) 
Pink Lotus—36 in. A lovely new soft, clear, pure rose pink of 
uniform color throughout. Large flowers of fine form. Selected 
by the Iris Society of England for trial at Wisley. I listed this 
in 1937 for $1.50 a plant, but withdrew it from sale last year 
so that I could propagate sufficient quantity of it to release it 
this year at a very attractive price.20 
Pink Opal—48 in. A sister seedling of Pink Satin, this lovely variety 
stands four feet high, with very lovely pink toned flowers. It 
is very aptly named and is one of our best pinks. Offered for 
the first time at this very low price for extra fine rhizomes .20 
Pink Satin—46 in. HONORABLE MENTION BY THE AMERICAN 
IRIS SOCIETY. One of the half dozen finest pink tones 
and one of the largest, tallest, smoothest and finest soft 
pink toned Irises introduced to date. It is entirely dif¬ 
ferent in all respects from Imperial Blush, Ethelwyn 
Dunbar, Eros and other pink-toned varieties, each of 
which have their own individual charm. IT SOLD QUITE 
RECENTLY at $40.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT and now 
that it can be had at such a modest price it should be 
in every garden. See illustration page 8.20 
Pongee—40 in. This variety is so named because it has both the 
color and texture of pongee silk, a uniform soft buff, with a 
frosty iridescence covering the entire flower. Delightful as a 
cut flower or garden subject.20 
Porrima—36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY OF ENGLAND. A new clear solid yellow of large size 
and perfect form, the plant being vigorous and very free flowering. 
This is probably the only stock of this variety in America. It 
is being grown under U. S. Government Permit, and subject to 
release by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture a few plants will be 
sold this year... 5.00

WITH SEDUGTION AND PROF. S. B. MITCHELL, WERE AWARD¬ 
ED A SPECIAL PRIZE BY THE IRIS COMMISSION OF FRANCE

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE AND NAMED AFTER 
HIM AT HIS SPECIAL REQUEST. An unusually beautiful va¬ 
riety as the above mentioned facts would indicate. S—bright,

Pluie D’Or (Golden Rain)—41 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES ME¬ 
MORIAL MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. A 
FINE DEEP CLEAR TALL YELLOW that is unsurpassed for 
landscape effect. Large flowers and a prodigious bloomer, 
entirely hiding the plant by its mass of flowers. SOLD FOR 
$35.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT WHEN FIRST INTRODUCED 
A FEW YEARS AGO. A large stock of extra fine plants now 
permits a very low price.20 
Pale Moonlight—48 in. A MAGNIFICENT NEW SOFT SKY BLUE 
OF GIGANTIC SIZE, the color being uniforrn throughout. As 
many as six huge blossoms are open at one time. See illustra¬ 
tion on page 12, which is about one-fourth actual size and does 
not begin to show the exquisite beauty of this fine Iris.50 
Pansy Boy—42 in. VERY SWEET SUGARY FRAGRANCE. A very 
handsome, richly colored variety, with bright violet standards 
and the deepest rich pansy-violet falls. A promirient feature 
of this variety is that the pansy-violet falls are milk-white on 
the reverse side, creating a flower of the most brilliant con¬ 
trasts. My own introduction.20 
Paulette—54 in. THE TALLEST AND ONE OF THE LARGEST AND 
FINEST LIGHT BLUE TONED IRISES I HAVE EVER GROWN. 
HUGE FLOWERS, with full flaring falls measuring 8 to 10 inches 
from tip to tip. Quite unlike any other blue-toned Iris. Sold 
a few years ago for $35.00 for a single plant. Now that it can 
be had at such a modest price, no garden should be without 
this striking beauty. 25 
Peacemaker—54 in. VERY FRAGRANT. A stylish new porcelaine- 
grey Iris, with a soft lavender-blue flush in the centre of the 
falls, reminding one of a piece of lacquered ware. There are 
also a few chocolate veins at the throat. No other Ins like it 
and a giant in stature.50 
Pearl Lustre—38 in. DELIGHTFUL FRAGRANGE. A new blush- 
yellow, with domed standards, crimped on the edges, and semi- 
flaring falls. Six to eight flowers to a stalk.10.00 
Persia—46 in. FRAGRANT. Massive blossorns in a unique blend¬ 
ing of deep colors, reminding one of the rich colors of a Persian 
rug, hence the name. The flower has a glistening silky texture 
and is one of the finest I have. SOLD A FEW YEARS AGO FOR 
$35.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT, but a large stock of extra fine 
rhizomes makes a very low price possible this season.20 
Phebus—42 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE NATIONAL 
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE. A beautiful, well formed, 
smooth, soft, canary yellow, with a deep orange beard, the entire 
flower being of a uniform color throughout, with well rounded 
flowers of firm wax-like substance and a deep orange beard. A 
fine companion for the darker Pluie D’Or.20

texture, with a deeper pink area at the centre of each of the 
falls. Domed standards and semi-flaring falls. 2.50
