PARAGON (Stevens Iris—See page 9). * 
PATHFINDER (Whiting 1948) M. 35”. * 
This is the exceptionally broad petaled pink with a hint of 
blending from the garden of this illustrious hybridizer in 
Iowa. The blossoms are both wide and very full. Extremely 
heavy substance and glistening texture. It is remarkable. 
HM’48. $15.00 
PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting 1946) L. 38”. 
An attractive cream-primrose-yellow with a touch of wax- 
yellow at the haft. Wide standards seem to give the flower a 
swirl-like effect. Substance is extra fine and its bloom is very 
late. Stem is inclined to bunch but in spite of this it is very 
worth while. Illustrated page 3. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PATRICE (DeForest 1945) M. 38”. * 
A stately plicata of beautiful form distinguished by the subtle 
brushing of pale gold at the haft and lovely speckling of 
peach and rosy lavender on the creamy background. Refined 
and one of the distinct plicatas. Excellent substance, branch- 
ing and texture; fragrant. HM’46. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
PEACHBLOW (H. Sass 1943) M. 34”. 
A warm, fluffy pinkish plicata with a generous outpouring of 
mellow peaches and cream coloring throughout the entire 
flower. The color has instant appeal. It carries most effec- 
tively in the garden. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PENSIVE (Grant 1947) M. 38”. 
One of the better dark Ivis. A sleek, glossy rich purple with 
a blackish luster. It has depth of color, form, size and stem 
height. Very fine. $2.50 
PERMANENT WAVE (Williams 1948) ML. 40”. 
Imagine this flower—crisp cut, horizontal flaring falls, full 
and rounded, petals with a jaunty whirl to the very edges. 
The entire bloom is colored sweet lavender shading to blue 
with golden brown hafts with a metallic luster. Picture such 
an Iris and you have a good idea of this most novel formed 
flower. The entire flower is most original and without coun- 
terpart. $7.50 
PESHAWAR (Schreiner 1937) VE. 26”. 
Rich brown-purple veined and dotted a deeper shade. The 
charm of this flower is its dusting of silver-gray like a morn- 
ing dew. An ideal Ivis for early bloom. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
PIERRE MENARD (Faught 1948) M. 38”. * 
A magnificent new rich blue. The slightly open standards 
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. HM’48. AM’50. 
$15.00 
PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook 1949) M. 38”. 
Several orchid Iris of the highest merit have been produced 
by this discerning hybridist. Pink Bountiful is the pinkest 
of all the orchid-pink Iris he has raised. Very large, broad 
rounded flowers of satiny texture and heavy substance. Very 
floriferous. $8.00 
PINK CAMEO (Fay 1946) EM. 36”. * 
An exquisite fresh pure pink; one of the famous flamingo 
pink line. Outstanding qualities are the pinkness, smooth- 
ness, purity of tone and melting softness of color. The un- 
usual freshness of tone in Pink Cameo is due to the almost 
entire absence of other coloring in its makeup, producing 
tones of ethereal freshness. The pointed buds, much deeper 
in color, are a picture in themselves, opening to give an en- 
tirely new conception of what a pink Iris can be. The shad- 
ing is a beautiful translucent cameo-pink with a striking 
tangerine-orange beard, the “trade mark” so typical of the 
new pink Iris. Excellent branching, 36-inch stems, good sub- 
stance, fine sized flowers lightly flaring and early blooming. 
It is as fine an Iris as has been developed in this exciting new 
color class. One of the loveliest Iris we have offered. Ilus- 
trated pages 2, 22, 28. HM’46. AM’48. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein 1949) M. 38”. * 
One of the most discussed of the ‘‘new pinks.” A large, some- 
what ruffled new pink, the color is a rich pink which gives 
great depth of color in the garden. An intense red tangerine 
beard. Extra heavy substance that holds in the hottest sun 
and a remarkably fine, strong stalk with widely spaced 
branches. HM’49. $20.00 
PINK LACE (Sass 1947) M. 36”. 
This is one of Sass’ newest pinks, a descendant of Flora Zenor 
with the “new look” shade of pink and accompanying tan- 
gerine beard. $3.00 
PINK REFLECTION (Cook 1942) ML. 36”. * 
A nymph-like, exquisite chamois-pink with a delicate, en- 
chanting quality. An underlay of creamy pink combined with 
the finest substance gives this flower a crisp quality. It has 
also been described as a Hydrangea-pink. Crisp and clear cut 
like a piece of silk brocade. HM’42. AM’44. Pictured page 24. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PINK SENSATION (Hall 1948) E. 33”. * 
Delicate light pink, a creation of that famous breeder of 
pinks, David Hall. A bright orange beard lends vibrancy. 
Flower large, full and rounded in form, lightly ruffled. HM’50. 
$12.00 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) M. 35”. * 
An Iris that is pre-eminent both in beauty of coloration and 
perfection of form. ‘This distinguished Ivis is unique because 
of its singular color combination—absolutely clear white 
standards and smooth primrose yellow falls. The blooms are 
waxlike and are beautifully molded. Fresh, cool, flawless in 
its purity of coloration. A very fresh and lovely combination, 
the snow-white standards rising from the primrose gold falls 
certainly make most appropriate its name, Pinnacle. It is one 
of the most distinctive new “breaks” and as it is the creation 
of something entirely different in Iris we consider it an 
achievement of great merit. The good habits, branching, 
heavy substance, and colors of Daffodil freshness combine to 
give us a lovely, lovely Iris. Pictured pages 9 and 35. HM’49. 
$12.00 
PLATINUM BEAUTY (Schreiner 1941) ML. 36”. 
Entrancing, delicate pastel blend of lilac-pink with softest 
blendings of lemon-yellow especially concentrated toward the 
heart of the flower. The golden sheen makes it appear as 
though sprinkled with star dust. Fine grower. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
PRAIRIE FIRE (Tompkins 1945) ML. 38”. 
A rich, coppery, flame-colored yellow blend. A derivative of 
Far West x Nylon with tall stems, finely branched. $2.00 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass 1939) M. 36”. 
A gorgeous Iris and one that really needs to be seen to be 
appreciated. It is hard to do justice to this alluring Iris by a 
word description. Half the colors of the rainbow are coalesced 
in the loveliest, most luscious, breath-taking combination 
imaginable. In its tints we have pink, rose, apricot, peach, 
with a radiant sprinkling of gleaming gold shining forth. 
A fine flower, moderately branched stem. AM’41. DM’43. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
_ PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) M. 31”. 
A different type of the new flamingo pinks this one is a peach 
shade of pink with the characteristic tangerine beard. A deli- 
cate shade, very smooth and most novel. HM’46. $3.50 
PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge 1948) L. 34”. 
Dusky yet at the same time smooth and metallic; light copper- 
brown and pale tan with a hint of lavender and gold as an 
undertone. One of the most talked of new tan browns for 
which this hybridizer has achieved wide recognition. Won- 
derfully formed and poised blooms. HM’48. AM’50.
