INTRODUCTIONS 
The following two varieties are 
the only two iris we are introduc- 
ing for this year. We have tried 
them for 2 years now and think 
they are the fore-runners of a new 
group of dainty stemmed Table 
Tris unsurpassed for table bou- 
quets. 
PRECIOUS GEM, 
(Nelson 
1949), 24” tall, midseason. Former- 
ly Seedling No, 47-44, In-origm- 
ator’s own words: “This rose pli- 
cata. comes from an interesting 
line of breeding, being the second 
generation cross of Parisiana and 
Alastor. Flower of good form. 
Standards stitched and stippled 
purplish. Falls with white field. 
Vigorous grower and good in- 
creaser.” We are sure you will fall 
in love with it as we have. 
PRECIOUS JEWELL, 
(Nel- 
son 1949), 34” tall, midseason. bin 
merly seedling No. 47-46. “A 
plish red blend. A sister seed tng 
of Precious Gem. Standards nice- 
ly closed, perilla purple. Falls 
darker, medium purplish red. 
Beard heavy, deep golden. Both 
standards and falls edged brown. 
Growth vigorous with plenty of 
increase.” A very dainty stemmed 
iris for the border and for bring- 
ing into the house.
