OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. * 
This is one of the best of the deep yellows. So intensely yel- 
low it is almost on the orange side. Rich in color, brilliant 
in effect. A flaring, lightly ruffled flower on tall stems with- 
standing weather to a very great degree. A favorite with gar- 
deners and this is high praise as we have an abundance of 
good yellow Iris. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1948. Illus- 
trated on page 29. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ORCHID LADY (Salbach 1943) ML. 36”. 
Notable among the orchid and lilac pinks with thick sub- 
stance and smartly flaring, semi-horizontal falls. The clear 
orchid coloring has slight blue shading and faint undertone 
oF Gp 50c; 3 for $1.25 
ORELIO (DeForest 1947) ML. 35”. 
This is a handsome, lively, rich brown red arising from the 
famous Casa Morena. It has the copious form and heavy 
substance of its famous sire and most effective red brown 
coloring. Illustrated page 40. HM’48. $2.50: 3 for $6.25 
ORIENTAL GLORY (Salbach 1950) EM. 38”. * 
We are showing you a picture of this Iris (and a most ac- 
curate one) because we simply could not describe this unique 
development, Mr. Salbach’s finest achievement. So consult 
page 35 and behold a most gorgeously colored Iris! HM’52. 
$10.00 
PACEMAKER (Lapham 1950) EM. 36”. * 
A very nicely formed new red Ivis. A self that is smooth and 
velvety. The uniformity of color, due to the absence of any 
venation in the haft, is exceptional and the silken like finish 
of the flower gives it a very glossy sheen. We have tested and 
compared this Iris extensively and it certainly out-distances 
any other red. We consider it the finest red we have seen 
with good branching, a tall, sturdy stem, which is better in 
height and branching than most of the brighter reds. There 
are three and, at times, four branches per stem. Pictured on 
page 44. HM’50. $7.50

PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas 1948) EM. 36 . 
The vogue for flamingo pink Ivis that has swept the country 
has given some highy individual variations. Pagan Princess 
is a remarkable combination of Persian pink standards and 
Persian rose falls, contrasted with a brilliant tangerine beard. 
Something new and an eye catcher. HM’48. $2.50 
PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting 1946) L. 38. 
An attractive cream primrose yellow with a touch of wax 
yellow at the haft. Wide standards seem to give the flower 
a swirl-like effect. Substance is extra fine and its bloom 1s 
very late. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
PARADISE PINK (Lapham 1950) L. 33”. 
This is the deepest colored of all the famous flamingo pinks. 
A clear flamingo pink, nicely formed flowers and a vigorous 
grower. A plant soon makes a clump, so thrifty is its growth 
and profusion of bloom. Withstands wind and rain. A most 
meritorious development. HM’50. AM’52. $9.00 
PARAGON (Stevens 1948) EM. 38”. * 
Serene, lovely, rounded flowers of a delicate pearly shell color 
or opalescent cool pink. So cool and morning fresh it is 
bound to capture your attention and admiration. A hint of 
copper in a half inch margin around the edge of the petals 
and the rich mellow throat makes the whole flower glow. 
Exquisite planted with light blues or deep violets. Ilustrated 
page 33. $5.00 
PATHFINDER (Whiting 1948) M. 35”. * 
This is the exceptionally broad petaled pink with a hint of 
blending from the garden of this illustrious hybridizer in 
Iowa. The blossoms are both wide and very full. Extremely 
heavy substance and glistening texture. Pictured on page 13. 
HM’48. $8.00 
PATRICE (DeForest 1945) M. 38”. 
A stately, refined plicata of beautiful form distinguished by 
the subtle brushing of pale gold at the haft and lovely 
speckling of peach and rosy lavender on the creamy back- 
ground. $1.00; 3 for $2.50
