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 3 and 30. HM’46. AM’48. $2.50; 3 for $6.25 
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. AM’51. $15.00 
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. $1.50 
PINK PLUME (Schreiner 1951) M. 36”. 
This self-colored orchid-pink might be described as a glorified 
Dreamcastle, being pinker, larger, and lighter. A supremely 
beautiful Iris whose exquisite standards are domed with ut- 
most circumspection, whose broad falls have a classic per- 
fection in form. A patrician beauty: chaste and serene. Un- 
surpassed in the carrying power of its limpid pink color. 
Pictured page 7. $7.50 
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. Crisp 
and clear cut like a piece of silk brocade. HM’42. AM’44. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PINK SENSATION (Hall 1948) E. 33”. 
Delicate light pink, a creation of that famous breeder for 
pinks, David Hall. A bright orange beard lends vibrancy. 
Flower large, full and rounded in form, lightly ruffled. 
HM’50. $10.00 
PINK TALCUM (Buss 1949) ML. 40”. 
Delicate but distinct pink, smooth textured, a peach blossom 
pink with reddish beard. Tall branched, well substanced, 
medium sized flowers. $4.00 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) M. 35”. 
An Iris that is pre-eminent both in beauty of coloration and 
perfection of form. This distinguished Iris is unique because 
of its singular color combination—absolutely clear white 
standards and smooth primrose yellow falls. The blooms are 
wax-like 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 39 and 44. HM’49. 
AM’51. $10.00 
PRAIRIE FIRE (Tompkins 1945) ML. 38”.

Far West x Nylon with tall stems, finely branched. $1.00

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. In its tints we have pink, rose, apricot, 
peach, with a radiant sprinkling of gleaming gold shining 
forth. A fine flower, illustrated page 27. 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

cate shade, very smooth and most novel. HM’46. $2.50 
PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 36”. 
A rich golden orange. Makes a very bright spot in the garden.
