branched. This iris has great carrying quality in the gar- 
den. H. M., Avis Ss. 1947. “40 in. $2.00 
PAGAN GOLD (G. Douglas 1951) M. L. A very large flower 
of heavy substance and almost velvety finish, it has been 
greatly admired in our garden as well as in Nashville, and 
many iris enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting its intro- 
duction. A self of rich clear yellow with broad cupped stand- 
ards and wide flaring falls that seem a tone deeper on ac- 
count of their velvety texture. 8 to 10 flowers on well branched 
sturdy stalks. H. C., A. I. S. 1948. 40 in. $10.00 
PAGAN PRINCESS (G. Douglas 1948) M. The first deep 
pink with a tangerine beard. The full well formed flowers of 
rosy pink are in striking but pleasing contrast to the full 
tangerine beard. An iris of great individuality and a new 
color effect in the garden. H. M., A. I. 8.1948. 38 in. $2.50 
PAGAN ROYAL (G. Douglas 1951) M. Some iris are espe- 
cially good for garden value in that their rich coloring 
stands out from afar. Such an iris is Pagan Royal with its 
big bold flowers of deep red-violet. A self with broad domed 
standards and large flaring rounded falls. The flower gives 
the effect of a glowing rich purple that is vivid and different 
from other dark purple iris. The branching and the place- 
ment of the blooms is excellent; four branches and terminal 
with 10 to 12 buds on each strong sturdy stalk. H. C., A. I. S.

PAGAN SUNSET (G. Douglas 1951) M. It is difficult to con- 
vey in words an adequate description of this iris. Golden 
orange, rose, apricot and copper are mingled to form a 
blending of the colors we see in a rosy sunset. The stand- 
ards are extremely broad and domed with a full ruffling at 
the edges. The falls are flaring and fluted at the tips. Al- 
though it is not an extremely tall iris, the branching and 
arrangement of the flowers is exceptionally good. Charming 
in its blended colors the blooms have balance and beauty to 
a marked degree. 34 in. $8.00 
PARADISE PINK (Lapham 1950) L. This is the pinkest tan- 
gerine bearded iris from Mr. Lapham that has been intro-

that is very resistant to sun and rain. H. M., A. I. S. 1950.

Robert E. Allen and most aptly so for the color is like a 
delectable plum tart with a dash of white meringue in the 
center. A dark Perilla purple self except for the center 
of the falls which is white and on the upper part, this 
white seems painted on the surface in brush strokes rather 
than blended into the purple. 34 in. $4.00

the beauty and charm of this delightful yellow and white re-

dium yellow and are firmly and roundly domed. The falls are

is the chamois-like lustre of magnolia blossoms, a quite dif- 
ferent arrangement of color that is most effective. H. C., A.

PURISSAMOHR (E. Weidner 1952) M. L. Something new and 
sensational] in the Iris World.. A pure white Onco-hybrid that 
is a good grower, and thoroughly hardy in our eastern gar- 
dens. The large flowers are very heavy substanced with close- 
ly domed standards, and very broad flaring falls. The whole 
bloom is delightfully ruffled, and there are no haft markings 
or venations to detract from the clear purity of color. The 
beard is golden tan terminating in a point that is so character- 
istic of Onco-breds.. The sturdy stalks (3 branches and ter- 
minal) have excellent branching that permits the 8 to 10 
flowers to be displayed to good advantage with no crowding. 
The rhizomes and foliage are like the tall bearded iris, and it 
sets seeds readily. Too much cannot be said in praise of this 
beautiful and outstanding Onco-Hybrid. H. C., A. I. S. 1951.
