OUR 1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
CHARIOTEER. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. A very 
large flower of fine form with broad rounded 
petals and nearly horizontal falls. The color 
is a brilliant light red, very near that called 
Gladiolus Red by the Dictonary of Colo.r. Its 
carrying pcwer in the garden is unexcelled and 
the flower is firmly substarced and smoothly 
finished. Growing under number, this has re- 
ceived very favorable comment in the gardens 
of the Whitings at Mapleton, Mrs. Winegars 
in Denver and in that of Countess Mary Senni | 
of Romé.

CONSOLATION. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. This 
is a light, medium: blue self of great size and 
an unusual but beautiful form. While this is 
the largest Iris we have bred, it has extra heavy 
substance and a beautiful silky finish. It has 
broad, clean foliage and tall, sturdy, excellently 
branched stalks. This was one of the most 
admired iris in our garden last year and we 
noticed that every visitor returned to it time 
and again. Consolation may be seen as an 
established clump in the garden of Mr. Sted- 
man Buttrick and also in several western 
gardens.

COPPER CANYON. (Tompkins 1950) M. 37 in. 
For this one, imagine brown as bright as you 
cam get it, add a coat of clear copper lacquer 
and you have it. The richest and brightest 
copper we have seen, this is a self even to a 
coppery tinted beard. The flowers are large 
with good substance and are well placed on a 
nicely branched stalk, and are free from vena- 
tions.

MOONLIGHT MOOD. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. 
A large, ruffled flower of heavy substance and 
satiny finish that probably belcngs in the 
‘“Noyelty” class. The color is a blend of Char- 
: treuse and olive green that appears to be a 
| self color close to russet green by the Dic- 
tionary of Color. The petals are very broad 
and the fall has a flush of light burgandy 
around the beard. Really different. 
No. 48-203. Sable x (Dymia x Golden Spike)-- 10.00 
| REFRAIN. (Tompkins 1950) M. 36 in. Our most 
! beautiful new blend, this has large flowers with 
| extremely broad, gardenia like substanced pet- 
als. The form is similar to that of Honeyflow, 
its parent; but with a bit more flare to the 
falls and a delightfully fluted edge on all its 
petals. The color is a rich ivory cream flushed 
pink, dusted with gold and with a deep gold 
throat. The stalks are strong and branching 
is good.
