OUR 1951 INTRODUCTIONS 
RIPPLES (Linse 1951) Early to mid- 
season. 36 inches. Immense blooms, 7 
to 8 inches across, of a shade near Old 
Lilac or deeper, according to the Dic- 
tionary of Color. Haft and margin 
around both standards and falls deli- 
cately and smoothly blended Olive Yel- 
low. The extremely broad, near hori- 
zontally flaring falls are rippled and 
waved in a most enticing manner, and 
the substance exceeds anything I have 
seen in irises. This seedling of Ormohr 
neither resembles the Mohrs, nor any 
tall bearded iris that I have seen, and 
is very distinct and desirable. Branch- 
ing is moderate, foliage much broader 
and shorter than average. A hardy, 
healthy, good grower, and sets seeds 
freely. I have great hopes for its breed- 
ing possibilities. From Ormohr x Sno- 
qualmie. Each $15.00 
SPELLBOUND (Linse 1951) Early to 
late. 40 to 42 inches. No one who has 
seen Spellbound forgets it. A beautiful 
thing, done in red with smoothly blend- 
ed golden haft and golden overlay on 
both standards and falls. It positively 
glows! Here is an iris which seems to 
me to have every attribute of great- 
ness: large size, fine ruffled horizon- 
tally flaring form, excellent habit of 
growth, substance and stalk, and that 
rarest of qualities in blends, unfading 
color in the hottest sun. As if that were 
not enough, it has in addition the de- 
lectable fragrance of Spice Pinks. A 
rare good one! Breeding, Tobacco Poad 
x Prairie Sunset. Each $20.00 
WHISPERS (Linse 1951) Midseason to 
late. 42 inches. A delicately colored, 
clean, cool iris that will win your 
heart. Its lovely form, delicate colora- 
tion and slender, graceful stalks all 
seem in keeping. My contribution to 
the so-called new color break of white 
and yellow, Whispers has ruffled stan- 
dards of Chrome Yellow, and nearly 
horizontal falls of Amber White, grace- 
fully upturned at the edges. Large 
flowers 6% to 7 inches across, with 
good substance. Wide and low branch- 
ing—even the branches branch! Deriv- 
ed from Blue Rhythm x Jasmine, this 
should have some most interesting 
breeding possibilities. Each $15.00
