BANDIT. (Tompkins 1950) E.M. 34 in. A large flcwered 
and very broad petaled iris of deep antique ruby. The 
coloring is solid with only a few tiny yellowish vena- 
tions showing in the throat. 
No. 47-1. Redward x Cape Bon. 
COURTESY. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. A very large 
and excellently formed flower of pure white with 
a faint flush of blue at the throat and a heavy blue 
tipped beard. This has been our best result to date 
in our personal search for a white with a heavy blue 
beard. We think you will like it, too. 
No. 48-150. (Blue Shimmer x Lovely Day) x And 
Thou. 
MAGIC MIST. (Tompkins 1950) E.L. 38 in. The richest 
chamcis or buff we have seen, this seems to have a 
faint flesh pink infusion to its coloring. The flowers 
are large with broad oval petals and have an extra 
heavy and brilliant gold beard. The tinish is lustrous 
and sparkling. 
No. 48-21. (Honeyflow x Chamois) x Nankeen. 
SALOME. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. A large, full bodied 
flower of glowing amber with a rayed overlay of 
soft orange red. The petals have a crimped and lacy 
edge. In the garden this positively gleams and it 
rapidly became our favorite iris for arrangement, 
for in spite of its large size it seems to harmonize 
with any surroundings. 
No. 48-178. Chansonette x Tunisian Gold. 
WAR CRY. (Tompkins 1950) M. 38 in. A self of Indian 
copper with brilliant orange overlay. The flowers 
are very large and well formed with extra broad 
petals and hafts which are slightly marked red; as 
loud and colorful as an angry Indian’s war cry. 
No. 46-31. Jasper Agate x Honeyflow.

of substance.
