OUR NEW IkIS 
Introductions for 1952 
This year Protessor John Dolman, Jr. of the Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore, Pa. has given us 
permission to introduce two new Iris which we had on 
test display last season. Both gave a most satisfactory 
performance and were highly regarded by all who saw 
them in bloom here, as well as in other prominent Iris 
growers’ gardens in New England. Other varieties or- 
iginated recently by this well known Iris hybridizer are 
Black Ruby, Bisque and Kathy Dee. His new ones are: 
SPANISH CREAM 
A tall, robust, two-toned light yellow, suggesting the confection 
that Mother used to make. The flowers are ruffled, of very firm 
substance and great resistance to wind and rain; they are well 
placed on strong widely branched stalks that do not go down in 
warm weather. Voted an award of Highly Commended by the judges 
of the A.I.S. in 1951 (the only official award an Iris can receive in 
the garden before introduction). Blooms late mid-season—40”. 
Stock limited. : $10.00 each 
JILL 
A perky little blue Iris of great charm. The flowers are ruffled 
and very flaring, and particularly well placed in the established 
clump, giving a very lively garden effect. Stands wind and rain ex- 
ceptionally well. A strong grower and rapid increaser. Blooms early 
mid-season. 32”. Stock limited. $5.00 each 
A NEW IRIS HYBRIDIZER 
MAKES HER DEBUT 
Mrs. R. Moore Price of New Hope, Pa., a successful painter who 
for many years exhibited and sold her work in New York and Phila- 
delphia, has in recent years devoted much of her time to the breed- 
ing of Bearded Iris. She has obtained several worthwhile seedlings 
in the pinks and browns. After twelve years of effort she accom- 
plished her objective of producing a superior pink Iris. We have 
honor and pleasure of introducing this new Iris which we feel will 
make a worthy addition to the best of collections: 
CONCHELL PINK 
A lovely pink Iris in the new shell or light warm pink tone, sug- 
gesting the colors of the conch shell. The large flowers are self 
colored except for a slight flash of ivory accenting the deep orange 
of the beard. The branching is well spaced on a sturdy stalk of 
three feet or more. Due to its late flower habit, it is very compli- 
mentary with delphiniums or other early perennials. $7.50 each
