INSPIRATION 
PARADISE PINK (Lapham 1950) L. 33”. * 
This is the deepest colored of all the famous flamingo pinks. 
A clear flamingo pink, nicely formed flowers and a vigorous 
grower. A plant soon makes a clump, so thrifty is its growth 
and profusion of bloom. Nor does it pale out and it with- 
stands wind and rain. A most meritorious development. 
HM’50. $10.00 
PEG DABAGH (Craig 1948) E. 36”. 
One of the most striking of the Wm. Mohr hybrids. Clear deep 
blue-violet flowers of smooth texture and characteristic Oncocyclus 
conformation of petals with distinct tracery of deeper venation char- 
acteristic of this group of hybrids. 
$7.50 
PENSIVE (Grant 1947) M. 38”. : 
One of the better dark Iris. A sleek, glossy rich purple with a black- 
ish 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. 
$6.00 
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 morning dew. An 
ideal Iris for early bloom. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
PHALANX (Schreiner 1951) E. 36”. 
This is a novelty Iris of an unusual fuchsia hue. The falls have a 
sheen of metallic rose enhanced by a blue blaze in the center, re- 
minding one of the lustre of a shining Christmas tree ornament. 
Everyone may not like this Iris, but those who respond to its bizarre 
coloring will like it a great deal. 
$4.00 
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. The engraver has 
caught only part of its charm. See page 40. HM’48. AM’50. 
$10.00 
PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook 1949) M. 38”. 
PARAGON (Stevens 1948) EM. 38”. 
Serene, lovely, rounded flowers of a delicate pearly shell color 
or opalescent cool pink. So cool and morning fresh it is 
bound to capture your attention and admiration. A texture 
so fine the creamy pink coloring seems to shimmer in the 
sunlight. A hint of copper in a half inch margin around the 
edge of the petals and the rich mellow throat makes the 
whole flower glow. Exquisite planted with light blues or 
deep violets. Illustrated page 9. $5.00 
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 lowa. The blossoms 
are both wide and very full. Extremely heavy substance and glisten- 
ing texture. It is remarkable. HM’48. $12.00 
PATRICE (DeForest 1945) M. 38”. 
A stately, refined 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. Pictured page 
21. HM’46. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PEACHBLOW (H. Sass 1943) M. 34”. 
A warm, fluffy pinkish plicata with a generous outpouring of mel- 
low peaches and cream coloring throughout the entire flower. Car- 
ries most effectively in the garden. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
PEACH MERINGUE (Schreiner 1951) E. 36”. 
An Iris with the luscious complexion of a copiously frosted lemon 
pie fresh from the oven: a melting golden tan with just a hint of 
pink. A prolific producer of large blooms. Because of its tangerine 
beard and undertone of pink, we are hopeful that this will prove a 
breeder and be the means of getting more size into the pinks. Pic- 
ture page 21. $6.00

Several orchid Iris of the highest merit have been produced 
by this discerning hybridist. Pink Bountiful is the pinkest 
of all the orchid pinks he has raised. Large, broad rounded 
flowers of satiny texture and heavy substance. HM’51.$6.00
