A NEW IRIS 
Introduction for 1950 
This year we have the pleasure and honor of intro- 
ducing a new Iris, BISQUE, created by Dr. John Dol- 
man of Swarthmore, Pa. Dr. Dolman is one of the 
EKast’s leading Iris hybridizers and was for many years 
Regional Vice President of the American Iris Society for 
this district. Visiting Dr. Dolman’s garden last May. 
this Iris immediately attracted our attention and so it 
is with pride and considerable enthusiasm that we of- 
fer it for the first time to the public. 
BISQUE 
A rather late blooming plicata, in colors suggesting old fashioned 
bisque ice cream. The ground color is warm white; the falls slight- 
ly edged with yellow brown and the standards more heavily dusted 
with the same color, giving a reverse bicolor effect. The flowers 
are of medium size, ruffled, semi flaring, well poised and well 
spaced on strong stems. Like most plicatas it is seen at its best in 
a clump, standing alone and not too close to other Irises of strong- 
er coloring. This Iris has been well tested and well liked, and a 
good stock has been built up, permitting a low introductory price. 
$3.00 each
