Our 1950 Introductions 
BELLERIVE (Clifford W. Benson) Midseason. 42 Inches. (Birchbark x Gallant Leader.) * Huge, 
ruffled deep cream with a: smooth glistening sheen. Standards domed, falls flaring. Very 
strong stalks. All our garden visitors asked about Bellerive last year. To us it looked good 
and seems a vastly improved Vision Fugitive. Fast of increase. Blood here for creams, 
_ yellows, whites and reds. Certificate of Commendation and Highly Commended awards

CELESTAR (Carl Larsen) Midseason 38 Inches. (((Los Angeles) x (Don Juan x Titan)) x (San 
Francisco)} x (Aldura))) x (Tiffany) White with a flush of lavender-purple on 
one side of the falls only. This same purple is seen on the large buds—and is as if the 
color has faded through onto the flower. Made an exciting arrangement at the 1949 Salt 
_, Lake City iris show. Will make a wonderful parent for plicatas and lemons. A large, full,

DREAM ALONG (Muhlestein) Midseason-Late 40 Inches. (Daybreak x Three Oaks) Large, 
smooth deep pink blend that has inherited, we believe, the best qualities of each of its 
parents. Good size, form, heavy substance and splendid branching. Its seedlings are excit-

EVENSONG (Valentine Frazee) Midseason 36 Inches. (N. J. Thomas x Sdlg.) The best N. J. 
Thomas seedling | have seen. A very wide, full flower, with quality galore. Standards are 
Mignon purple, falls Patriarch purple according to Plate 43 of Maerz and Paul, Dictionary 
of color. One branch, ordinarily, which is technically quite faulty since it forms a "Y" 
shaped stalk, but we think you will like the flower for its quality and its breeding possibilities.

FABULOUS KATE (Muhlestein) Midseason 36 Inches. (Late Sun x Radiant) x (Pink Formal) 
Although we have many good yellows there is always room at the top for something better 
or different. Fabulous Kate is a very large medium yellow with somewhat open standards, 
falls that flare with a delightful dip, or wave, giving the flower great individuality and a 
strong personality. Must be seen to be appreciated. | have named this iris for Mrs. Kate 
B. East to whom | owe a debt of gratitude for telling me | had nothing in my collection of 
fifty “remarkable” iris. When | saw her collection, which at that time was up to the 
minute and contained such notable iris as Marquita, Dolly Madison, Purissima, and Violet 
Crown, | knew | had NOTHING. Mrs. East's iris, and her enthusiasm, were my inspiration 
to want to create new kinds, so | look on this lady as ‘fabulous'' and thus name a very 
worthy iris for her. This is the first seedling of Pink Formal to be introduced. It should 
be a useful parent for large pinks, rich yellows, blends, oranges, salmons, and orchids with

FLURRY MOHR (Clara Rees) Early-Midseason. 42 Inches. (Snow Flurry x Capitola.) Very 
large rich deep violet-purple. Stalks could be stronger and the standards do fall open after 
the first day, especially under adverse weather conditions. Introduced primarily for those 
who like huge flowers, and for those interested in this blood for. hybridizing purposes. 
There were three seedlings from this cross. This is No. 2 and is not distributed. Net-....... $5.00 
LADY ALBRIGHT (Muhlestein) Midseason-Late 36 Inches. (Veishea x Bronzed Copper) Named 
for one .of our most colorful and most beloved Utah iris fanciers, Margaret Albright. Once, 
jokingly, she exclaimed, with her usual exuberance, that if | should ever produce an iris 
"loud'’ enough | should name it for her. When Lady Albright bloomed for the first time 
| knew | had found an iris colorful enough to bear her name. Those who attonded the 
Portland meeting will recall her, surely, for she kept everyone in high spirits with her wit, 
- humor and vivaciousness. Now, to describe the iris, although it is pictured together with 
its "papa" on the cover of this catalogue, Standards Dianthus (plate 5 K 3) Falls Amaranth 
plate 44, L 8) with hafts and edges of falls color of standards. Colors from Dictionary of 
Color. Good sized flower. Falls slightly narrow for size, but a technical fault everyone 
will overlook for there is no more colorful flower in the garden. Certificate of Commendation

Standards light brown. Falls yellowish buff on edges deepening to near chartreuse at hatt, 
with purplish flecking in the falls. Wide and full of parts. It will be one you either like a 
lot or dislike. Many of our garden visitors wanted it last year. Will produce some seed. 
May be highly useful with other hybrid lines. Net { been mn eRe nen amen nana ane ae ew enn ea am eenam $5.00
