PAGAN PRINCESS (G. Douglas, 1948) M. Each $10.00 
Something new! The first deep pink with a brilliant tangerine 
beard. The conic, closely held standards of Persian pink (near- 
est color to Maerz and Paul) with firm texture. The flaring 
falls are deeper in tone (Persian rose. R. H. S.) with a narrow 
edging of the same color as the standards. The color extends 
well into the center of the flower; no venations mar the haft. 
The bright tangerine beard is in striking, but pleasing contrast 
to the rosy pinkness of the flower. H. M., A. I. S., 1948. 38 in. 
PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 1943) Each $1.00 
Gorgeous coloring of the Arizona desert blended into a stately 
iris reaching 4 feet in height. A soft buffy tan with brownish 
suffusion at the haft and violet mid-ribs in the standards. A 
light violet patch at the end of the beard adds a contrasting 
touch. 
PASTELLA (Hall) Each $2.50 
A large Remembrance, several shades darker, the darker tones 
are close to lavender. Extra well branched. Really a sensation 
in our garden and in our colored movies. 
PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $3.00 
Plicata with light cream standards flushed rosy lavender. Falls 
patterned soft rose. 
PATRICIA Each 50c 
A very clean and sparkling white, semi-flaring in form, with 
both standards and falls frilled and fluted at the edges. Not a 
giant in size but very lovely and a welcome addition where size 
has been an over-emphasized feature. 
PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $1.00 
A pinkish plicata with yellow ground cover. The combination 
of soft yellow and pink gives it a very “peachy” appearance. 
This is another and quite different iris in the interesting Sass 
plicata series. 
PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $2.00 
A seedling of Daybreak and another truly beautiful almost true 
peach pink iris. While the individual flowers are large and 
perfectly proportioned, it is as a garden clump that this lovely 
creation is startlingly effective. The tall wiry stems bear a 
great number of flowers which last from early midseason to 
late. As colorful and luscious as a bowl of Georgia peaches. 
PEG DABAGH (Craig, 1948) Each $20.00 
An early flowering Wm. Mohr derivative with blooms of full 
rounded form and heavy substance. The clear blue violet flow- 
ers of smooth texture are borne on very tall (50 in.) stalks, with 
four to five buds to the stem. Vigorous. Early, 
PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $4.00 
The outstanding qualities of this new pink Iris is the melting 
softness of color and finish with the entire absence of other 
colorings than the name suggests. The pointed buds, much 
deeper in color, add to its beauty. The beard is tangerine, typi- 
cal of the new pinks. Flowers are slightly flaring and evenly 
spaced on well branched stalks. One of the loveliest new pinks. 
Early. 36 inches. 
PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $25.00 
Pink Formal will hold up to any Iris in the garden for sub- 
stance and lasting qualities. It is a large flower, somewhat ruf- 
fled. The color is deep pink but a pink of salmon origin. An 
intense red-tangerine beard lights the flower from within. So 
heavy, however, is the substance that newly opened flowers do 
not attain their full growth and normal shape until the second 
day. The color holds in the hottest sun. It is a thrifty and 
healthy grower, but its increase is moderate only. It branches 
slightly below mid-section of its stalk—about even with the tips 
of the leaves, so the flowers are well displayed above the foli- 
age. There are two or three widely spaced branches and a term- 
inal, with from 9 to 12 flowers. The stalk is strong and has 
Tee required staking. Blooms early to late. 40 inches. H. C., 
47. 
PINK LACE (J. Sass, 1947) M. Each $3.00 
Lightly ruffled flowers of rosolane pink, flushed at the heart of 
the bloom by the distinct tangerine beard. The medium sized 
flowers are smoothly finished, and add a charming bit of color 
to the garden. Well branched stalk. 36 inches. 
PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $3.00 
L. 36 inches. Clear cut crisp individual. Heavy texture and 
good size enlivened admiration of a unique combination of hy- 
drangea pink and buff. The beard is lemon chrome in effect. 
A. M. 1944. 
PINK RUFFLES (K. Smith, 1940) Each 60c 
M. A delightful ruffled pink that is lovely as a cut-flower or for 
mass planting. H. M., A. I. S. 1940. A. M., A. I. S. 1942. Per. R. 
86 1941. 26 inches Classed as a Border Iris 
PIUTE (Thomas) Each 35c 
V. L. 38 inches. Rose red. Closed standards of medium rose 
red; down-falling falls rose red with veining of yellow ground 
seen at haft. Slightly fragrant, small flowers, good stalks. 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass, 1939) Each 60c, 3 for $1.25 
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., A. I. S. 1937. A. M., A. I. S. 1941. Per. R. 93 1939. Dykes 
Medal 1943. 34 inches. 
PREMIER PEACH (D. Hall, 1946) Each $5.00 
M. A further advancement 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 coi- 
oring is most captivating. Good substance and branching. H. M., 
A. I. S. 1946. R. 88 1946. 34 inches. 
PRETTY PENNY (DeForest, 1943) Each $1.50 
Late coppery rose overcast russet. Gold veined haft. Call it a 
blend of coppery rose. DeForest calls the shots on these new 
colors. 
RADIANT (Salbach, 1936) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. L. 35 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1938. Brilliant standards of bur- 
nished orange and falls of rich coppery red attract attention of 
all garden visitors. 
RADIATION (Hall, 1947) Each $10.00 
A pleasing tone of orchid pink with a deep tangerine beard. 
The standards and falls are the same color and there is no vein- 
ing on the haft. The standards of the large flowers are domed, 
the falls are semi-flaring and the substance good. The 32-inch 
well branched stems have never required staking. 
RAJAH BROOKE (Norton) Each $2.00 
Variagata fanciers will be surprised when you see this one. It’s 
different. It’s a honey. Standards topaz in color; falls pigeon 
blood red with wide border of topaz on falls. Large burnished 
gold beard. A fancier’s flower; its beauty will grow on you. 
Large flower of flowing lines, well spaced and branched. 38 
inches. H. M., 1946. 
RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $1.25, 3 for $3.00 
Dark but very brilliant, almost true crimson red. A decided 
self with long cone-shaped closed standards. One of the last 
to bloom, a sure producer of flowers and lots of them, with 
straight stems and fine branching. Very large, 36 inches tall. 
RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1937) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 40 inches. We think this is one of the very finest irises we 
have ever grown and it is without doubt the finest dark red 
purple iris we have ever seen. It is almost a self of deep, warm 
garnet; the velvety falls giving them a deeper value, almost 
prune purple. The color is pure, unmarred by haft venation and 
does not fade. 
RED GLEAM (Lapham, 1939) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
M. 34 inches. A. M., A. I. S. 1941. A brilliant velvety red over- 
cast with gleaming chestnut, with brighter, lighter borders. 
RED TORCH (H. Sass, 1947) M. L. Each $3.00 
This two toned compact flower stands out like a torch indeed 
Rich gold bronze standards with the falls presenting a startling 
shade of pure velvety red—yes real red. Some of the experts 
claim this is the finest shade of red in the Iris spectrum today! 
The form is compact, neatly rounded and the falls flare nicely. 
Moderate in height and size, it is outstanding and bright new 
Iris. 34 inches.
