NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1948 
Mr. Luke Norton of Yakima hada very fine plicata, and Mr. Elias N elson of Yak- 
ima had two fine new seedlings; one a lavender-gold, and the other a salmon pink of 
the new shades of pink. 
These three new varieties we feel, will make their mark, and without any apologies 
we introduce them to the discriminating Iris Fancier. _ 
SALUSKIN . (Nelson 1948). This is the largest flower we have seen in ee new shades 
of pink, and has strong stalks and husky plant growth, which is unusual for the new 
pinks. The color is a lovely shade of salmon pink with a slightly yellowish cast, with 
tangerine beard, about 38 inches tall with strong stalks and heavy substance throughout. 
This variety was so good that we named it after the great chief of the Yakimas, 
“SALUSKIN.” $15.00 
SELAH. (Nelson 1948). Here is a different color combination, a lovely shade of laven- 
der blue with a glowing gold heart. Leathery substance, well placed flowers, and 
golden beard. Large flower, about 38 inches tall. $10.00 
TIETON. (Norton 1948). Here is a cross of Royal Scot x-Lady Naomi that is really a 
different plicata. Standards are tan-buff solid, with stitching of same lovely color on 
the edges of the falls, with white background in center of the falls. Golden beard, large 
flower of strong substance, strong stalk, and about 38 inches tall. 3 $10.00 
You Iris Fanciers. that want the unusual; we give it to you as above, and we are 
so sure that these three introductions will please you, and receive your commendation 
of being worthy that we give you this unusual offer: If these three Iris or any of them | 
are bought by you and you do not approve of them at blooming time, 1949, let me know 
and I will send you a credit in like value of Iris upon your report at blooming time. 
We regret we cannot place on the market this year the wonderful new plicata of 
Mr. Norton’s, which we will name ROSE AMES, in honor of Mr. Norton’s youngest 
daughter. This is about the loveliest seedling we have ever seen, so watch for it in 
1949. You Judges who visit us in 1948 ask to see it in bloom. It’s a stunner. Not 
enough stock as yet. . ie
