1949 IRIS INTRODUCTIONS 
It is our policy to introduce only new iris that are dis- 
tinct and real improvements over existing varieties. 
We are not offering any new iris of our own, but have 
several very promising seedlings that we will grow for 
another year, for increase and further observation. 
It is our privilege to offer this year the beautiful new 
iris “ICE KING,’’ originated by Harold Johnson of 
Atherton, Calif. 
ICE KING (Harold Johnson 1949). Snow Flurry Man- 
avu. Immense white with decided blue undertone. 
Beautifully ruffled standards and large waved falls 
with ruffled edges. Light blue buds and creamy white 
beard. Tall well branched stems. Blooms give out a 
delightful sweet odor. A splendid addition to this color 
class. Early mid-season, 40”. $10.00

All three of these have bloomed even better for us this year than in 1948. This is probably due to the exceptionally 
wet and cold winter. A prominent Mid-West iris authority has just reported: “Your BLUE ELEGANCE and MORN- 
ING BLUE were outstanding in my garden.”

COMPLETE LIST OF NEW AND 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Prices quoted are for single roots, unless otherwise noted. The three prices 
apply to three roots of the same variety, not to three different varieties that may 
sell for the same price. It is much quicker and easier to ship three roots of 
one variety than one root of three different varieties that may have to be dug 
in three different gardens, hence the lower price. All orders subject to stock. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations.
