NTRODUCTIONS for 1948 
BALTIS (C. G. White) Oneobred 
A very rich deep violet self, napthalene violet, shaded with dark napthalene violet (Ridg- 
way), with pronounced oncoeyelus characteristics. The flowers are round, about 5! inches 
in diameter, of excellent substance. The stalks have three branches, each branch having two 
buds. A very fine flower for cutting as well as for the garden. 3 feet. $10.00 
BUCKTHORN BROWN (Milliken) 
This causes exclamations from all of our friends who have happened to see it. It is a glisten- 
ine brown flower with a blaze of blue-violet extending from the end of the golden beard. In 
slanting light the Buckthorn to Dresden brown (Ridgway) surfaces seem to be sprinkled 
with gold dust. The size is medium, 5 inches; substance good; flowers well placed. The brown 
color grows lighter in hue as the flower ages, but it is delightful at all times. Fragrant. 
3 feet. $15.00 
JOPPA PARROT (C. G. White) Oncobred 
There is no other iris which is anything like this one. It is an onecobred. Clarence White, 
we feel sure, has done more breeding with onecocyelus than anyone else in this country, and 
so far as accomplishments testify, more than any other breeder in the world. For many 
vears now we have seen the surprising new productions arising from his persistent labors. 
Nothing like Joppa Parrot has ever appeared before. It has a medley of colors. The ground 
color is vellow beige on which are cinnamon, violet, and mahogany areas. The colors are not 
blended, but are placed on the flower as an artist using oils places the colors on the canvas. 
An attempt at description would be futile—it has to be seen. 
The plant is vigorous and multiples rapidly. The flower is well shaped and of medium size. 
2 feet. $10.00 
QUAKER MISCHIEF (C. G. White) 
This reminds one in its coloring of the older and charming Quaker Lady, but this is much 
more stately and impressive. When well grown the flowers are six inches by five inches. 
The gray tones predominate, but are given life with tints of hlae and bluish violet. Excellent 
substance. 3 to 4 feet. $10.00 
ROYAL CREST (Milliken) 
This is a regal variety which stands out among its companions beeause of its large, wavy, 
beautifully shaped flowers of dark blue-violet. The branching is good. We recommend it for 
vour consideration. In its aneestry are Gaudichau, Blue Velvet, Brunhilde, The Black 
Douglas and Buechley’s Giant. 4 feet. $10.00 
TOURNAMENT PRINCESS (Milliken) 
This was exhibited for the first time to some of our visitors in the spring of 1947 and 
met with enthusiastic approval. The coloring is a soft and unusual combination of two shades 
of light violet. The firmly built flowers are large (7 inches), semi-flaring and are carried on 
well branched stalks. 4 feet. $10.00
