lum. The standards of aureolin yellow are broad, strong, 
and firmly domed. The almost horizontal] falls are slightly 
ruffled at the tips, of the same color as the standards. Beard 
and styles same tone. Clarity of color and great garden 
value characterize this clean cut iris. Exceptionally heavy 
substanced flowers. 40 in. $10.00

of color, excellent form and substance, but in Pensive we

dark iris of recent years, and has been praised by many iris 
lovers. Heavy substanced flowers, good branching, and 
vigorous growth. 38 in. $

PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) M. Heralded as a new break in 
color combination, this iris has clear white standards and 
smooth very light yellow falls. It might be described as a 
white and yellow amoena that is distinctly different from any 
other iris. It was the center of attention in the Schreiner 
garden at the time of the 1949 annual meeting. Stock limited. 
H. M., A. I. S. 1949. 38 in. $15.00 
PLUM TART (C. Connell 1949) M. Christened by Mr. 
Robert E. Allen and most aptly so for the color is like a 
delectable plum tart with a dash of white meringue in the 
center. Many will remember this unique and fascinating 
iris that was blooming in the Douglas garden as well as 
here in 1948. A dark Perilla purple self except for the center 
of the falls which is white and on the upper part, this 
white seems painted on the surface in brush strokes rather 
than blended into the purple. Mr. Connell and I have watched 
this iris for several years and have always been drawn to it 
for the whole flower has an exotic touch that reminds one of 
one BS RICE in its unusual yet attractive arrangement of 
color. 34 in. 
POLONADE (Grant 1949) M. L. Exquisitely finished and 
of almost perfect form, this lovely yellow and white reverse 
bicolor was greatly admired in the Douglas garden and in 
our own. The standards are rich medium yellow and are 
firmly and roundly domed. The falls are semi-flaring of 
smooth even white, and over the whole flower is the chamois 
like lustre of magnolia blossoms, a quite different arrange- 
ment of color that is most effective. Tall with ideal branching, 
often with three flowers open at one time with no crowding.

PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1989) M. L. The brilliant 
colors remind one of a glowing sunset. All pink, apricot and 
golden copper, this iris cannot be described, it must be seen 
to fully appreciate its exquisite color harmony. H. M.,

ment in the flamingo pinks from Mr. Hall. A self of clear 
peach pink with well domed standards and semi-flaring falls. 
There are no_haft markings, and the delicious coloring is 
most captivating. Good substance and branching. H. C., 
Ae aso 944 SMe Av ds. 1 946e654.ins $5.00 
PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) M. A white that is very white 
for it has no touch of any other color, even the beard is 
pure white. It is a gem for any garden. H. M., A. I. S. 
19438. A.M., A.I.S. 1947. 26 in. $1.00—3 for $2.50 
RADIATION (D. Hall 1948) M. Beautiful in color and form; 
in my estimation this is the finest iris that Mr. Hall has pro- 
duced. It is a self with large firm substanced flowers of 
glistening orchid pink with perfectly domed standards and 
flaring falls set off by the deep tangerine beard. The stalk 
is well branched and sturdy. H.C., A. I. S. 1947. H. M., A.I.S. 
1948. 32 in. $15.00 
RAINBOW ROOM (J. Sass 1946) M. A remarkable blend, 
so named because it seems to contain all the colors of the 
rainbow. The standards are antimony yellow. The falls 
are bordered with the same yellow, merging into lilac 
toward the center with a metallic blotch at the end of the 
bright yellow beard. Good substance and branching. H. C., 
A. 1. S'1945. H. M., Avl..S.-1947536 in: $15.00 
RANGER (Kleinsorge 1943) L. Large long flower of

falls. Very floriferous with strong stalks and fine branching.

RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. A very handsome iris that
