IRIS SEED FROM UNUSUAL CROSSES 
Last season my customers seemed very anxious to secure seed from reliable crosses: 
The demand was for the best grade of seed. I sold every available seed and I earnestly hope 
all of those who purchased get good results. Sometimes old “‘Mother Nature” slips up on 
us and gives us something entirely different from what we are expecting. Sometimes this is 
good; sometimes not so good. There is a big element of chance in buying seed, yet you have 
as good a chance as any one to get the unusual seedling. 
This year I am prepared to do a lot more hybridizing than I did last year. I am using 
only the very best Iris to be had as parents. Some of these are older Iris, but proven breed- 
ers. I am also prepared to do some crossing for the “‘pink” Iris. I have in my garden many 
of the newer pinks that will be used in breeding. Here are just a few of the ones I will use: 
Spindrift, Loomis 8.Q. 71, Harriet Thoreau, Elizabeth Ann, L. Merton Gage, Copper Pink, 
Dream Girl, Flamingo Seedling 40-31, Overture, Riding High, Prairie Sunset, Sunset Sere- 
nade, Manyuska, Hoosier Sunrise, Flora Zenor, Remembrance, and many others. 
Among the newer Iris used;will be those rating very high in their color classes. Crosses 
will be made especially for deep reds, purples and violets, white, light and dark, blends, 
light and dark blues, and other colors. 
There will be only two classes of seeds. Experience has shown that when customers 
invest in seed they want the best. So I shall try very hard to give you what you want. 
CLASS I. 
In this class the seed will be from Iris that rank high in their color class. Seed will be 
furnished from a single cross if possible. Such breeders as Snow-Flurry, Spun Gold, Red 
Amber, Sonrisa, Brown Thrasher, Alastor, Depute Nomblot, Elmohr, Action Front, Red 
Valor, Ola Kala, Bonsor, Great Lakes, and many others of this kind will be used.

Please state the kind of cross preferred, and give a second and third choice (as to color), 
If you wish seed from any special cross please write me about it. I may be able to supply it. 
CLASS II. 
In this class I will have my choicest Iris used for breeding “pinks.” I am very much 
interested in this color and shall try very hard to do some constructive breeding. These 
seed are very valuable. I will want to plant most of them myself but am willing to let you 
have a few.
