CHERIE (Hall 47) %% AM ’49, Dykes Medal '51, Sym. 53 
One of the most sought Iris on the American continent. Cherie is pink loveliness unsurpassed! In fact, 
Cherie has become the standard by which all other pink Iris are judged. So outstanding that the American 
Iris Society illustrated it in color in Bulletin 109. A delightful light flamingo pink of remarkable purity 
of tone. Large, beautifully ruffled flowers of excellent form and gracefulness. Superb, too, for the breeder,

Ballerina, described above. Proved to be fully hardy in the colder portions of our country. EM-32”.

fade in the hot sun, not one bit; it has closed standards, absolutely, and falls that flare beautifully. It is 
of good size, and it has substance. The stalk is marvelous with four or five branches—long branches— 
starting close to the ground. | counted eleven buds on the main stalk of bloom.” Plant with Cloud Castle
