NEW WHITING INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1944 
ARAB CHIEF—4175 (Raejean x Garden Magic) V. Late. 36 in. An iris of rich and 
brilliant colorine—very near to burnt orange. It is a pure self of intense color 
value, of large size, pleasing form and has exceptionally vigorous growing and 
blooming habits. $10.00 
HARVEST MOON—4121 (Midwest Gem x Prairie Sunset) M. 34 in. This iris is very 
similar in coloring to Mellowglow, not quite as pink, and a bit more orange. The 
garden effect is much the same and we have been urged to introduce it so that 
taose who have not been able to get Mellowglow may have this glorious color in 
their gardens. A fairly large stock permits a moderate introductory price. $5.00 
TEA ROSE—4127 (Matula x ‘China Maid) M. 36 in. Well on the road to pink is this 
smooth, creamy blend of rose ard pale gold. By Ridgway it is close to Alizarine 
pink over Capucine buff. The biending is very smocsth, giving the effect of a 
true self. Dictionary of Color has a plate called Rose Leaf which is very near. 
There is a tiny touch of pure blue at the tip of the light yellow beard which gives 
it distinction. This seedling was described by Dr. Franklin Cook in the October 
1942 Bulletin as one of the most promising near pink seedlings he had seen. The 
plant has proved to be strong, prolific and completely hardy, with attractive foli-

THE RAVEN—4335 (Lilamani x Smolder) M. 86 in. We have long hoped for a really 
superior black purple iris among our seedlings, and we think we have it at last. 
It combines the rich and glowing color of Lilamani with the glossy finish and 
heavy substance of Smolder in a neatly flaring. slightly ruffled form. The flowers 
are Jarge and well syvacea, the plant exceptionally vigorous and hardy. $15.00
