MARY S. DEBAILLON (DeBaillon 1942) Collected by the 
late Mrs. Dan DeBaillon and named for her because it was 
her favorite iris. It resembles a tremendous orchid with

Orchid pink with broad yellow signal. A stalk with three 
flowers open at one time is a thrilling sight. 386 in. $5.00

pressive white beardless iris that he has seen. 26 in. $5.00

RUTH DORMON (Trichel 1950) M. This iris is considered 
by many Louisiana iris experts as the best pink beardless 
iris that has been produced. Mrs. Trichel describes it as “the 
pink of a young baby’s palm.” It is a flower of soft flesh pink 
close to true pink in color effect with no signal patch. The 
tall straight stalks rise weil above the foliage. A self of 
great beauty and charm. H.M., A. I. S. 1950. 36 in. $5.00 
SIBYL SAMPLE (Trichel 1950) M.L. Wide spreading five 
inch flowers of almost mahogany red that soon after opening 
change to a bright soft rose, but retain all their brilliance and 
substance, thus making a two-toned effect on one stalk that is 
unique and very attractive. A self except for the narrow yel- 
low signal. It is free flowering and of good increase. Lovely 
for flower arrangement or in the gardens. 36 in. $4.00

Bulletin. The flowers are clear rose-mauve with a wide 
triangular gold signal patch. The blooms are large, of firm 
texture, measuring 5 in. or more across and are carried on
