1953 INTRODUCTIONS 
HONOR GUEST (Doziner). Midseason. (Amigo x 
Wabash.) A near amoena with exceptionally 
good growing habits. A fine, floriferous 
bloomer and one Dr. Dozier was particularly 
fond of. Introduced for the hybridizer and those 
who want an easy grower in this color-

MEXIGLOW (L. Crosby). Midseason, 34 inches. 
(Mexico x Mellowglow.) A rich, large, flaring 
golden-brown blend with a flush of blue-violet 
in falls, with a lighter ten area around the 
beard. Certificate of Commendation, 1952, 
Highly Commended 1951, and winner of the 
Seedling Cup at the Utah liris Society Show

MINT JULEP (Hazel Recknor, Iowa). Midseason. 
(Probably Grand Canyon x ?.) Another iris in 
the color-range of Char-Maize. A large, full 
flower that is devoid of any other colorings. 
Introduced for a breeding iris for those inter- 
ested in this elusive “green” coloration. Well

MOHR AND MORE (Muhlestein). Midseason, 40 
inches. (Aldura x Capitola.) Large, wide, rich 
purple self with flaring full Mohr-form. This iris 
has a strong tendency to produce flowers with 
4 standards and 4 falls, hence the name. Su- 
perb, strong substance and heavy stalks. 
Highly commended 1952 under No. 48-91A.

ORANGE CREAMO (Muhlestein). Midseason, 40 
inches. (Salmon Shell x Pink Formal) x (Apricot 
Glory.) A luscious orange-apricot on tall, well 
branched stalks. The wide flowers are full and 
clean. With these by-products of the shell 
pinks we have arrived at the true orange color. 
Orange Creamo is so fast of increase that it is 
possible to introduce only two years after it 
was selected from a first year plant. We think 
the blood superb for this color, pinks and the 
new rose-orchid shades. Highly Commended

PEARLIMOHR (Wilma Vallette, Idaho). Early- 
Midseason, 36 inches. (Gudrun x Capitola.) 
Here is an unusual pearl-gray with the Mohr- 
type fullness seen in most of Capitola’s seed- 
lings. The first introduction from this keen 
judge and hybridizer whose interest is strong 
for these hybrid-lines. Certificate of Commen-

PINK CONFECTION (Muhlestein). Midseason- 
Late, 40 inches. (Hall's 44-09, sister to Hit Pa- 
trade x Pink Formal.) This is a very large, wide 
somewhat ruffled light baby-ribbon pink. The 
falls are considerably lighter than the stand- 
ards. The style arms are full and ruffled. Pink 
Confection will surprise those who have been 
skeptical about true pink coloring in iris. While 
not deep it is very pink. The strong, well 
branched stalks are in balance with the large 
globular flowers. No. 49-31-50.......... $15.00 
RASPBERRY ICE CREAM (Muhlestein). Midsea- 
son-Late, 36 inches. (46-24C : SQ 72 x 44-67, a 
sister to Gold Ruffles) x (Pink Formal.) A deep 
pink that seems to have a raspberry-lavender _ 
cast in the color which makes it much pinker 
than the salmon-toned pinks. It has been such 
a fine breeder to deepen the pink color, and 
garden visitors have wanted it over ihe years 
so I have decided to introduce it for its good 
breeding qualities and its garden value. Falls 
are down-hanging, wide and full and a shade 
or two darker than the standards, although it 
is practically a self. No. 48-39.......... $10.00 
RUFFLED ORGANDY 
RUFFLED ORGANDY (E. Brencn, Calif.). Early- 
Midseason-Late. (Gilt Edge) x (Snow Flurry x 
Nylon.) Here is an iris for close-up enjoyment. 
The full, ruffled translucent flowers defy de- 
scription. The creamy ground is smooth and 
clean. Both standards and falls are bordered 
with buff. There are glints of violet comparable 
to the peorl-tints found in many beautiful sea 
shells. The tall, strong, superbly branched 
stalks hold from 10 to 17 buds. Ruffled Organdy 
will start to bloom with the first of the Tall 
Bearded and continue on through the end of 
the season. Visions of its lovely seedlings in 
many colors come to our mind's eye. With such 
blood it cannot miss as a good breeder. Little 
pollen; however, it is fertile both ways. Cer- 
tificate of Commendation and Highly Com- 
mended in 1952. Lyon Iris Gardens, of Van 
Nuys, Calif., are co-introducing with us, we 
are happy to say, and we suggest those living 
in mild climates obtain their stocks of Ruffled 
Orgendy from the Lyon gardens....... $20.00
