lavender-blue), heavy substance, and 
splendid branching. A descendant of 
Souvenir de Loetitia Michaud, it has 
much of the refinement of that flower. 
A very tall grower. 35^ 
PEACEMAKER (Mitchell 1934) EM. 40 
in. A cool oyster-white to porcelain 
blue, with large flowers and tall stems. 
The color is a superb foil for planting, 
this variety being indeed a peace-maker 
among many different hues. 50^ 
PEACHES (Sass) 32 in. Warm bright 
blend of peach, apricot and orange with 
creamy markings on falls. 35^ 
PEARL LUSTRE (Weed 1937) M. 38 in. 
A clear light yellow self of excellent 
form and substance. The large, nicely 
formed flowers are well-placed on the 
stalks and the plants are hardy and 
vigorous, blooming freely. R. 83, 1938. 
$10.00 
PEER GYNT (Washington 1934) A 
large flowered plicata with deep laven¬ 
der and buff markings. The standards 
are arched and closely held, the falls 
very horizontal and flaring. Tall and 
well branched; an entirely new type of 
plicata; excellent for breeding. $3.00 
PERSIA (Ayres 1929) M. 38 in. One of 
the most distinctive of all varieties. A 
blend of silvery lavender, dove grey, 
and rich purple. Very beautiful. 25^ 
PICADOR (Morrison 1930) ML. 36 in. 
A vigorous blended variegata with 
standards of tarnished gold and falls a 
brown carmine. 35^ 
PIED PIPER (Stahlman 1937) A large 
buff plicata with tall four branched 
stalks. The graceful well domed stand¬ 
ards have a cream background washed 
and powdered cinnamon-buff. The 
semi-fiaring falls are creamy white, 
lightly bordered with cinnamon-buff. 
Rich yellow beard. A great addition to 
the plicata group. 40 in. $2.50 
PINK IMPERIAL (Weed 1939) M. 52 
in. Described by the originator as a 
real pink—tall and very fine. We look 
forward to its first blooming here this 
spring. $25.00 
PINK JEWEL. Not a large flower, but 
an excellent pink toned affair where 
garden effect is desired. The standards 
are self colored, but the falls are very 
heavily veined deep violet pink over a 
lighter ground. A ver yrapid increaser, 
thirty inches tall. 35^ 
PINK OPAL (J. Sass 1930) M. 36 in. 
An ethereal, feminine flower of opu¬ 
lent rounded form; in color a serenely 
chaste tone of light orchid pink. Easily 
one of the most beautiful of the pink 
irises. Large and tall and a very easy 
grower. 25^ 
PINK SATIN (J. Sass 1930) M. 36 in. 
Sister of Pink Opal: a bit more fragile, 
a bit pinker, a bit more illustrious. One 
of the greatest pink irises. 25^ 
PLUIE D’OR (Cayeux 1928) M. 36 in. 
A few years ago this was the one fine 
yellow iris. Even today it merits con¬ 
siderable attention and use, especially 
for mass effects. A golden yellow self 
of medium size, it is both profuse and 
reliable. With this fine, medium-large 
sort now so inexpensive, a dozen of the 
smaller, older yellows may well be 
discarded. 25^; 3 for 50^ 
PORTLAND (Kleinsorge 1938). (Con¬ 
quistador X Cardinal) x Carfax X Ra- 
meses. Standards frosty gold, falls 
coral rose—very close to being a giant 
Mary Geddes. The main difference in 
coloring of the two is that the standards 
of Portland are slightly lighter gold 
and the falls are more of a self color, 
lacking the gold haft lining. $5.00 
PORTOLA (Mitchell 1935). A fine tall, 
branching variegata that matches Fro 
two for one in size, number of blooms 
and height. Not in competition with 
the striking new Sass variegatas, as 
City of Lincoln and Casque d’Or have 
falls that are respectively, one and two 
shades darker than those of Portola.

PRES. PILKINGTON (Cayeux 1931) 
ML. 40 in. One of the largest and most 
exquisite of the blends. A pale crystal¬ 
line buff heavily infused lavender, es¬ 
pecially in the falls. A magnificently
