CORDOLON (Schreiner 1953) L. 42”. 
Dramatic, yet restrained, the exquisite color harmonies of this 
fine rose blend give us an imposing iris in the late blooming 
group. CORDOLON possesses the caressingly soft appearance 
of silk as well as its subtle smoothness, yet withall boasts an 
extra heavy substance. The illustration on page 8 reveals its 
warmth, poise and grace. A very large flower. No. G328. 
$12.00 
DANCING TIGER (Schreiner 1953) M. 38”. 
A new star to grace your garden. A very large, jewel-bright, 
really yellow-ground plicata. The half-inch border of penny- 
brown is deftly cut, as if shot, with fine slender lines on the 
edge of the falls. In both size and color a very fine improve- 
ment over the relatively few plicatas in the yellow register. 
Truly a flight of fancy in respect to color. No. 49-3. $15.00 
GINGER (Schreiner 1953) ML. 37”. 
Appropriately named is this spicy, lacquered, ginger-colored 
blend. A seedling of the famous Casa Morena, it represents a 
definite advance in both size and form, while its unique color, 
intensified at the haft. and rich enamelled sheen draw the 
eyes of garden visitors. An extremely popular color. No. 
ae $15.00 
Like an orchid-pink Helen McGregor in its classic 
perfection is this copiously formed, lacily frilled suc- 
cessor to Pink Plume and which carries the beloved 
orchid pinks to new heights of size and pulchritude. 
Shown most realistically on our front cover in a stun- 
ning Starker arrangement. LAVANESQUE is likely 
to prove an iris of meteoric, yet prolonged, popular- 
ity. Connoisseurs of both form and color are lavish 
in praise of its beauty. Winsomely ruffled, yet neat as } 
a pin, its exquisite orchid-pink tone is emphasized by 
a gold-illumined beard and haft. Here, truly, is the 
pink of perfection. No. G317-2. $20.00 
In combining two such fine cream iris as Desert Song 
and Bellerive, one would expect an iris of regal form, 
superb branching and flowers of the finest substance. 
WONDERBAR will not disappoint. Far too few 
good cream iris are available for our gardens. Here’s 
beauty like carved ivory. No. H169A. $15.00

CONGO 
CONGO (Schreiner 1953) M. 42”. 
Dark iris have been rather restricted to smaller flowers, shorter 
stems, and, generally, to colors on the blue side of black. 
CONGO represents a real achievement in that it is the first 
large dark iris with a reddish silken sheen on top of a cool- 
black undertone. In size it is fully 50% larger than the aver- 
age deep-toned iris. This gloriously rich black with red tints 
fills a long-vacant niche in the iris spectrum. Our color plate 
reveals its excellence of form and branching but fails to re- 
create its color saturation which approaches blackness. Stock 
is scarce: one to a customer. G No. 190B. $20.00
