gt Yalroduition, 
We have chosen four new iris as worthy of introduction this year. 
Three are from the garden of Dr. Kleinsorge, of Silverton, Oregon, whose work as a hybridizer is well 
known. Our feeling is that these fine newcomers to the trade are added credits to the time, thought, and skill 
he has given to his avocation. 
Our fourth offering is from the work of Douglas Wilson, of Thorp, Washington. Mr. Wilson has been 
working with and growing iris for a number of years. We feel honored as the introducer of this product of his 
effort. 
CANYON ROAD (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 36". Each $15. 
OREGON TRAIL x (Old Parchment x (Tuscany Gold 
x Rameses) ). 
This remarkable flower reflects the blending of 
seasonal changes in the color of foliage lining a 
historic road out of Portland. Afternoon shadows of 
the western hills creeping down into the canyon 
can be pictured in this outstanding blend. Opening 
a violet-copper, the standards turn to a golden-tan. 
The falls, each with a bright violet patch at center, 
open a copper-brown toning down to a golden- 
tan. As many as ten buds grow on the strong well- 
branched stalks. 
iM .SBAD CAVERNS (Wilson 1946) L. 36". Eac 
\ SPUN GOLD x NATIONAL WHITE 
The giant proportions of this strong stalked flower 
with domed standards, and the predominance of 
rich gold and creamy lemon colors, prompt the 
admirer in making the comparison the name in- 
tends. Branching is outstanding. Standards are 
ruffled and falls edge ruffled. Standards are lemon, 
rich and creamy, while falls are white with pencil 
streaks of gold with edges ruffled. Haft and beard 
being golden add brilliant gleam. Blooms are well

CO ROAD x DAYBREAK 
a self of deep golden tan, prolific with 
s flowers. Closed and arched standards 
EXICO x (240A x E. B. Williamson)

regal pattern of velvety deep maroon falls, softer 
silken standards, maroon tipped, golden style 
arms; beard and haft of gold. One of the last to 
bloom, the flowers are fragrant and borne on tall 
sturdy stalks. Foliage is red at base.
