Introducing: 
bordeaux, shading out to dahlia purple at the edge. At the tip it pinches 
slightly—just enough to add a mark of individuality. The fluted petals are 
jasper pink with an occasional stitch of dahlia carmine for good measure. 30 
inches. Mid-season. $7.50. 
SYLVAN DUET. (Reg. 1949). This is the nearest thing to a blue and 
white bicolor we have. In the sun the sepals are Chinese violet; in the shade 
the effect is much bluer. It is enhanced by a V-shaped signal patch of bright 
yellow. The petals are very light cream with a center rib the same color 
as the sepal. The laterally branched stalks makes this one of our most flo- 
riferous iris frequently displaying three or four blooms simultaneously. Very 
dainty. 36 inches. Early to mid-season. $15.00. 
WEDOWEE. (Reg. 1949). This large bicolor is a child of New Orleans. 
The flower spans 8 inches when spread. The slightly recurving sepals are 
orchadee, flushed and veined Patricia; the petals are cream, flushed slightly 
orchid-pink. One of the largest blooms we have. 30 inches. Early. $10.00. 
1950 - 51 Price List: 
ABBEVILLE TYPE YELLOWS (Collected or true seedlings). The Abbeville 
type is noted for their large, flat, overlapping floral parts. Most of these iris have a 
tendency toward reflexing floral parts. The yellow is not clear, having a great deal 
of cream and tan in it. A most striking plant and color. Rare. $2.00. 
ABBEVILLE TYPE REDS (Collected). Same as above except they are larger 
and less rare. Striking colors. $1.00. 
ACCOLADE (see introductions). 
ADELAIDE BRADFORD (see introductions). 
BAYOU SUNSET (McMillan) MSD Award 1949, H.M. 1950. This striking iris 
begs for adequate description. The 8 inch flowers are of a striking deep rose-pink 
with hints of amber and gold in its make-up. The large raying signal patch almost 
covers its broad, almost orbicular sepal that recurves. The texture is very firm, 
and holds up well in sun and rain. Definitely one of the most outstanding iris in 
the Louisiana group. $4.00. 
BAYOU VERMILLION (Debaillon-Dormon). This crimson Abbeville is con- 
sidered by some to be the best red in that group, is widely used for hybridizing.
