SYLVAN DUET. (Conger, ’50). 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 floriferous iris frequently dis- 
playing three or four blooms simultaneously. Very dainty. 36 inches. Early to 
mid-season. $10.00. 
THISTLE TUFT. (Debaillon-Dormon). Overlapping floral segments, coupled 
with a campanulate form plus the delicate hue of the thistle tuft makes this a 
striking variety. The petals are so broad that it creates a double effect. Height, 
26: 4to0 30/4 4252:00, 
TIDEWATER. (Chowning, ’50). Dark lavender-blue hybrid of Haile Selassie 
X (Hexagona X Arkansas Blue Folicsa). Flowers large with broad segments and 
pointed sepals having long gold signal patch. Very floriferous. Clean, narrow 
foliage and strong stalk. 20 to 30 inches. Hardy. Late. $5.00. 
TWILIGHT REVERIE. (Chowning, ’50). A seedling of Louise Austin but 
pollen parent record lost. Sturdy grower with clean foliage. Large flower, with 
broad segments, and a pure rose-lavender self with gold line on sepal. 24 to 28 
inches. Hardy. Mid-season. $5.00. 
VINEYARD (Debaillon-Dormon). When spread this recurving Abbeville iris 
has a span of 7”. The color is most unique, being a blend of Burgundy, port, and 
Bordeaux—thence its name. $.75. 
VIOLET RAY. (Dormon, C., 50). H. M., A. I. S. ’51. This iris caused a sen- 
sation in Shreveport last year. The result of an unnamed big Abbeville purple X 
Old Coral. The 6%-inch flowers of pansy purple have a flat form, very firm and 
very broad segments. The radiant light yellow signal patch is surrounded by 
cream rays that extend to the center of the sepal. Height 30 inches. Most strik- 
ing. Stock very limited. $10.00. 
WEDOWEE. (Conger, 50). 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. $7.50. 
WILD CHERRY. (Dormon, C., 47). Among the proud children of Peggy Mac 
is this beauty. This creation in wild cherry has the flat, flaring form expected of 
Peggy Mac’s children. Substance and texture are excellent. Flower span, 5”; 
height 30” to 36”. $1.50. 
WILD SWAN. (Debaillon-Dormon). A coupling of size, form, and grace is 
rare. The large 7” flowers of flat form and heavy substance are held well on 
tall 36” stems. One of the favorite whites. $2.00. 
WOOD VIOLET. (Dormon, R., 51). H. M., A. I. S., ’51. We are delighted 
to find this iris, long a favorite with us, having proper introduction. This iris is 
the shade of the deepest sky and just as bright and brilliant. Essentially of giganti- 
caerulea form, it is placed on a low 30” stem, but the upright instead of flat flower 
has excellent proportions with this height. Excellent for a large rock garden or 
near a path. $5.00.
