OUR 1948 INTRODUCTIONS 
ARIA, (Tompkins 1948) M. 38 in. A deep rich shade of 
coppery toned Henna red; this has large, broad petaled 
flowers of heavy substance, beautiful finish and classical 
form. There is a warmth to the velvery finish that ac- 
cents its fiery brilliance. The flowers are nicely placed 
on tall, widely branched stalks. Five branches and the 
terminal carry many buds so the beauty of this can be 
enjoyed from mid-season to very late. It is hardy and 
rapid increase. 
No. 46-1 (Damascus x Rocket) x Apex__..-_..----_- $10.00 
CAMPANULA. (Tompkins 1948) M.L. 37 in. As the 
name suggests, this is a self of Medium Campanula blue. 
The flowers have broad domed standards and widely 
rounded, ruffled falls. The finish is sleek and the sub- 
stance is so heavy that even in the hottest and windiest 
weather the flowers still look freshly cool and crisp. Plant 
increase is rapid and the tall strong stocks have excellent 
branching. 
No, 46-26. Blue Shimmer x Great Lakes_____---__ $20.00 
CHANSONETTE. (Tompkins 1948) M. 38-40 in. We 
think this one of the most delightful irises we have ever 
grown. The flowers are quite large with broad beauti- 
fully domed standards and the falls are full and flaring 
with a winged dip at the tips that gives them a distinct 
and most charming personality and form. In color, 
Chansonette is a self of a rich shade of light Orchid 
lilac that is enlivened by a touch of lemon at the throat 
and a sparkling frosty finish that envelopes the whole 
flower. The substance is exceptionally good and the 
blooms are well placed on strong perfectly branched 
stalks. 
No. 47-50. . Sierra Snow x Sass 40-253,-----------~ $15.00 
EBONY ECHO. (Tompkins 1948) M.L. 38 in. In our 
opinion this is one of the most outstanding iris we have 
introduced. The flowers are very large with extra heavy 
substance and have very broad, delightfully ruffled 
petals. The standards are full and domed while the 
falls flare horizontalily. The color of the buds is 
so dark that with their sleek finish they appear to be 
great blobs of shiny black wax. However upon opening, 
the flower is a very deep and glowing black red which 
is so deep in tone that one cannot determine which 
color is more dominant; the black or the red. We call 
it a true self of black red as the flower is free of haft 
markings and has a dark beard. The finish is sleek and 
leathery but appears to be very velvety due to the depth 
and richness of coloring. Stalks are tall and strong with 
excellent branching and placement. 
Noemto-ijs Casa Morena x Cape Bon:-u. 2-2... $25.00 
WING COMMAND. (Tompkins 1948) E.M. 37 in. This 
is a deep, lustrously shining blue purple with absolutely 
no marks or veinings and with a dark beard. Its heavily 
substanced blooms are of satin like finish with well 
domed stands and the broad pointed falls flare widely, 
giving the flower a winged appearance. The plants are 
hardy and increase is good. Stalks are strong with 
average branching.
