opinion of visitors to our garden this Spring 
that Nightingale, which has a more vivid color, 
is superior in every respect, and we have de- 
cided to introduce Nightingale instead of Spring 
Remembrance. For many years we have 
been breeding a line of pink blends, our 
objective being a better pink. In 1940 eight 
of these pink blends were honored with a number. 
They were all different in some respects and 
we were unable to decide in 1940 or in 1941 
which one we liked best, so we delayed the 
publication of this price list until we could 
observe the 1942 season of blooms. 
With the assistance of several Judges of The 
American Iris Society we selected Remembrance 
as the choice of the lot. 
The color of the flower is a yellowish pink 
blend. The form, substance and branching 
are good, the stem is 38 inches tall and strong, 
no staking will be necessary. It is a vigorous 
grower and a free bloomer............... $7.50

is something new in color and very attractive. 
It is bright and more like burnished copper than 
any Iris I have seen. A surprising number of 
people have admired it and wanted to buy it. 
I hesitated introducing it because it is not well 
branched. 
However it is excellent in every other respect. 
It is a rampant grower anda very free bloomer. 
The medium large fiowers are of good form 
and substance. The stem is strong and has 
never required staking. 
It will attract a lot of attention and make a 
very colorful clump in a very short time. On 
account of the branching being short and high 
on the stem I am introducing it at the very low
