BEARDED IRIS 
PINK MATRON (Carl C. Taylor 1950) 
(Pink Ruffles x Princess of Brentwood) 
Those who have grown Carl Taylor’s Golden Ruffles, Hija Mia, 
etc., know that he is a very descriminating hybridizer. Now 
again he has given us one of the most delightful pink blends. 
Very smooth in texture, with those full rounded petals, semi- 
flaring form, and good size flowers, which we Iris lovers love to 
see in an Iris. Excellent placement on well branched stalks, good 
substance, delightful fragrance, and a vigorous grower. Winter 
hardy. 40”. $10.00

form. Mid-season. 36”. $1.00 
AMANDINE (G. Douglas 1946)

form, and good branching. 38’’. Honorable Mention Pt ee
