NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1949 
Our two new introductions for 1949 are from the garden of 
the Rev. David Kinish, OSB, of Atchison, Kansas, and are his choice 
of the lot of seedlings he has there. 
SILVER LAKE (Kinish 1949) ML 36” $10.00 
This very fragrant light blue flower is one of the best substance 
and form. Though a very delicate color, it does not fade and the 
large flaring blooms are of real beauty. The beard is inconspicu- 
ous as is the veining. A very vigorous grower, plants are strong 
and well branched. 
VIOLINE (Kinish 1949) M 36” $5.00 
A deep blue violet self. Flowers are crisp, firm textured and 
long lasting. The beard is blue with a tip of light yellow. Strong, 
well branched plants. Flowers very fragrant and of good size. 

ARETHUSA (Gage, 1937). M. 40’. Large Daphne red flowers growing 
on tall, well branched stalks. Bronze beard blends into the golden- 
bronze hatft. 50c 
ARGUS PHEASANT (DeForest 194.). M. 38". A bright self of golden 
argus brown, flowers are large with orange beard, golden style arms 
and no markings at haft. Excellent substance. $25.00 
ARIANE (Cayeux, 1939). M. 36". Decidedly different, this enormous 
plicata of gleaming white is overshadowed heavily with feathery 
veins of violet blue. 40c 
ATROUS (Gage, 1943). M. 34”. Seen from afar Atrous appears to be a 
very black iris, but on approaching, the smouldering red burgundy 
colors flame out and grow intensely. $3.00 
AVE MARIA (Tompkins, 1944). ML. 40”. These enormous oval flowers 
of awe inspiring size stand stately and tall, reflecting their own 
glory. $5.00 
AZTEC GLORY (Horton, 1941). EM. 35”. Brilliant sun rays on bright 
burnished copper reflect the richness of this beautiful glowing cop- 
per blend. $1.50

blue, whose firm, domed standards and almost horizontal falls are
