OUR OWN ORIGINATIONS 
1946 ELLENWOOD. Parentage Trails End 
crossed with Black Wings. Early mid 
season 30” high, Medium purple with 
white veining and solid deep purple in 
center of falls, Prolific bloomer, ad- 
mired by everyone who saw it. Many 
visitors who saw it suggested that we 
name it ““Purple Heart,” but owing to a 
conflict in names we called it Ellen- 
wood. Pretty difficult to find a name 
for a new Iris when there are already 
ten thousand named varieties in circu- 
lation. We have a fine stock of this un- 
usual Iris and are introducing it at the 
MUUSUAleLOW. DLICG ts eee $1.50 
1945 Georgia Gold, introduced last year as 
Dixie Gold but owing to another Iris 
having that name we were forced to 
change the name of ours. Parentage, 
Southland crossed with Golden Hind. 
Georgia Gold habits much like its pol- 
len parent but a more profuse and 
more dependable bloomer. Intermedi- 
ate size. Early deep yellow. Admired

In 1947 we will introduce 3 new ones. “Etta 
Bell,” a seedling from Wabash. “Queen 
Ett,” a seedling from Shiningwaters, 
and “Thanksgiving,” a new giant Fall

them.
