PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 1943) Each $1.50 
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. 
PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $1.00 
L. 38 in. A large and extra heavily substanced flower of pale 
primrose yellow. Excellent. 
PASTELLA (Hall) Each $1.00

are close to lavender. Extra well branched. Really a sensation 
in our garden and in our colored movies. 
PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $1.50 
Plicata with light cream standards flushed rosy lavender. Falls 
patterned soft rose. 
PATRICIA Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
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. 
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 $1.00 
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 
ereation 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 $10.00 
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. 
PIERRE MENARD (Faught, 1948) Each $15.00 
M. 38 in. A magnificient new rich blue. The slightly open stand- 
ards are a Hyacinth blue, the falls a Campanula violet with a 
canary-yellow beard giving an effective foil. In effect a rich 
deep blue. One of the finest new iris. H. M. 1948. 
PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $3.00 
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 $20.00 
Pink Formal will hold up to any iris in the garden for substance 
and lasting qualities. It is a large flower, somewhat ruffled. 
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. The stalk is strong. 
Blooms early to late. 40 inches. H. C. 1947. 
PINK IMPERIAL (Weed, 1939) Each 50c, 3 for $1.25

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 $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
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.

M. A delightful ruffled pink that is lovely as a cut-flower or for

PINK SENSATION (David Hall, 1948) Each $12.00 
True delicate light pink, without any influence of lilac or salmon 
tones, and sporting the famous tangerine or orange-red beard, it 
is just the kind of pink iris you have been wanting. A large 
flower, full and rounded in form, with laciniated petal edges. 
Extremely early—one of the very first of the tall bearded to 
come into flower. Height about 33 inches. 
PINK TOWER (Muhl., 1948) Each $5.00 
M. 40 in. A very large clear pink self with a red beard. The 
substance is heavy and the flowers have a very smooth and 
satiny finish. 
PINNACLE (Stevens, 1949) Each $12.00

lar color combination—absolutely clear white standards and 
smooth primrose yellow falls. The blooms are wax-like and are 
beautifully molded.

pink, apricot and golden copper, this iris cannot be described; it 
must be seen to fully appreciate its exquisite color harmony.

M. A self of clear peach pink with well domed standards and 
semi-flaring falls. Good substance and branching. 34 inches.

blend of coppery rose. 
PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $12.00 
Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint of 
lavender and gold as an undertone. The flowers are of faultless 
form—wide hafts, spreading falls and large, closed standards. 
The beard is brown. It is a color most difficult to describe but 
it has much more life and attraction than these coppery tans 
usually provide. Height 33 to 36 inches. 
QUAKER MISCHIEF (C. G. White) Each $2.50 
When well grown the flowers are six inches by five inches. The 
gray tones predominate, but are given life with tints of lilac 
and bluish violet. Excellent substance. 3 to 4 ft.
