THE PIRATE 
Families are fun. From the garden of the well known hybridizer who de- 
veloped ESQUIRE (1945) and BEN BOLT (1949), we proudly introduce this 
year four new variants on the same theme. 
To the smooth self-assurance of ESQUIRE and the regal bearing of BEN 
BOLT are now joined the sedate dignity of LONG SHADOWS, the gaiety of 
THE LAUGHING CAVALIER in two heart-warming shades of rich blue, the 
well-tailored, well-groomed SWAGGER, and the earthy impudence of THE 
PIRATE. 
Plant this quartet of magnetic iris personalities in your garden for an ex- 
citing conversation piece, at a special price for the four of $35.00 net. If your 
garden does not yet have ESQUIRE and BEN BOLT, the senior members of 
this lively family, all six for $40.00 net.
