CLEVENGER’S 1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
PHRADIE WELLS (42-11-1) 
This is a gorgeous blend of tan-pink-apricot and soft butterscotch. It is a large flower. 
The standards are of a golden butterscotch color, shot through with pink and orange. 
They are broad and heavily substanced, and hold together well at the top. The falls are 
maple sugar with an overglow of pink and apricot, and the whole flower is dusted with 
gold. Style arms are sulphine yellow with a lavender stripe down the center. The beard 
is yellow. The haft is of burnished gold with a few tortoise shell reticulations which add 
to the general beauty of the flower. The substance is that of leather. It stands rain, sun 
and wind, as the stalk is very strong. The flowers are symmetrically placed on the stalk 
and branching is good. It surely makes a colorful Highlight in the garden. Height 38 in. 
(Amitola Sandalwood) Price $15.00. 
CLOUDS OF BLUE 
_ A new Siberian whose chief value lies in the fact that it is a very heavy bloomer. It is 
literally covered with blue flowers of medium size, clouded white, a very lovely garden 
effect. Height 36 in. A fast increaser. I can recommend this very highly to you. Price 
$5.00. 
P.S. If the two are ordered at the same time—price $17.50 for the two. 

Umba—A highlight in the garden. A beautiful light peach-lavender blend. A large 
flower well ruffled. Falls and standards are wide and are well rounded. ‘‘Umba’’ means 
bright sunshine. A beautiful addition to the hight blends. Hardy. Height 36-38 in. Price 
$3.00; 2 for $5.00. 
Witches Dance— An amoena on the order of Shah Jehan, but darker in color and 
larger. A late bloomer and a splendid iris in every way. Height 36 in. Price $1.00. 
Wineberry— This iris has an unusual color. It is a rosy-smoky violet with an electric 
blue feather at the end of a yellow beard. The haft is saraband brown and the standards 
and falls have a narrow edging of the same color. The entire flower has a sprinkling of 
silver. Substance and branching very good. Hardy. Height 36 in. Price $3.00; 2 for $5.00. 
Evenglow— An outstanding iris of a rosy lavender color. Very large, but not coarse. 
It is a tailored flower having very wide falls and standards, plain and crisp with leathery 
substance. Hardy. Branching fair. Beard yellow. I have seen no Iris like Evenglow. You 
will like this flower very much. Height 38 in. Price $5.00. 
Howdy—A very large, ruffled, blue-white iris that stands up under all weather condi- 
tions. Unlike many of the white iris it is completely hardy. This iris has made a name for 
itself in all parts of the country. Beard bright yellow. Buds are very large and are light 
blue in color—opening up to a beautiful icy-white. Height 36 in. Price 75 cents. 3 for $2.00. 
Kirkmo— A real rose red. A large flower with excellent substance. Hardy. Branching 
excellent. Falls slightly flaring. An excellent garden plant. Height 38 in. Price 75 cents, 
3 for $2.00. 
Indian Gift—A very early blue-white plicata of the new type—those having a clouded 
effect. A very beautiful flower. Branching is excellent. The flower is large and beautifully 
ruffled. It has grape perfume and produces enough to scent the whole garden. Very hardy. 
Price $3.00; 2 for $5.00. 
The Chieftain—One of the finest red-copper iris. Color is intense copper red with 
an electric blue feather at the end of the yellow beard. Of average size but beautifully 
formed and well branched. Substance good. An excellent breeder of reds. Makes a lovely 
color splash in the garden. Fine for artistic arrangements. Height 40 in. Price 75 cents, 
3 for $2.00. 

TO THOSE WHO WILL ATTEND NATIONAL MEETING AT SIOUX CITY, IA. 
All of my introductions will be on display at Chet Tompkins Gardens in Sioux City 
(Fleur De Lis Iris Gardens). Evenglow, and Phradie Wells, my 1950 introduction, will be 
on display in Mrs. Whiting’s garden at Mapleton, Ia. Visitors at the Annual Iris Meeting 
there are asked to look these over. We like them and we think you will too. We would 
greatly appreciate hearing from you after the meeting. 
These introductions of ours are also in the gardens of R. J. Comstock, St. Charles, Ill. 
and Joe Botts of 611 Villa St., Elgin, Ill. Both of these Iris fanciers are very favorably 
impressed with these introductions.
