$1.00 each or all 8 for $7.00 
This season finds eight new and charming person- 
alities on stage, putting in their bids for a place among 
your own “Alltime favorites.” So now we find the spot- 
light on— 
BALLAD. (Tompkins 1949) M. L. 38 in. This is not a 
shell or a flamingo pink, but is a pure clean unveined 
self of about the shade called baby ribbon pink. The 
medium to large flowers are of good form and have plenty 
of substance. They are well placed on strong widely 
branched stalks. We have a feeling that this one will 
really go places. 
No. 45-15. (Snoqualmie x Flora Zenor) X (Matula x 
Loomis Q51). 
CADET BLUE. (Whiting 1949) M. 36 in. A deep 
medium blue self of good form and heavy substance. The 
flowers are large and showy. A sister to Blue Rhythm. 
No. 4333 Annabel x Blue Zenith. 
FANTASIA. (Tompkins 1949) M.°36 in. Large ruffled 
flowers of good form and substance in a medley of rich 
shades of violet, rose and mulberry. Tall widely branched 
stalks. An extremely showy Iris. 
No. 47-54. Casa Morena x Grand Canyon. 
GOLDCRAFT. (Whiting 1949) M. 34 in. A very clear 
and bright yellow of good size bloom. Increase is rapid. 
No. 4350 ((Sacramento x Siegfried) x Cloth of Gold). 
MATADOR. (Tompkins 1949) M. 36 in. Big and bold is 
this blend of bright red, burnt orange and copper pink. 
The only point against this iris is that for individual 
stalks the flowers are too large for the height. However 
ifeisateally a stunner asa garden clump. 
_ No. 46-34. (Intermezzo x Cedar Rose) x Gypsy Rose. 
MOON LANTERN. (Whiting 1949) M. 40 in. A gigantic 
pure rich cream with a soft yellow center and crystally 
gold edge. 
No. 4042 Matula x Burning Bronze. 
MOON SONG. (Tompkins 1949) M. L. 37 in. A large 
well formed flower with broad oval petals, this has good 
substance and a-sleek, lustrous finish. The color is a 
bright clean orchid that is given depth and life by an 
undertone of cream and a smoothing of moonbeam yellow 
in the throat. You will like it. 
No. 47-29 Lullaby x Moonlit Sea. 
THE INTRUDOR. (Tompkins 1949) M. L. 40 in. Long 
a favorite with visitors who have purchased it under 
number 44-48, we have at last decided to release this as 
we too, feel that it fills a spot in the garden picture long 
needing a flower of this type. Namely that of a tall, very 
dark Iris. Of satiny finish and heavy substance this has 
broad round petals and a lovely form. The color is very 
dark purple black with a slight tone of blue and a brush- 
ing of brown on the haft which has absolutely no vein- 
ings. Stalks are strong and excellently branclied. 
No. 44-48. (4021 x 39-72).
