something to be desired; however, it has size, 
good substance, a 36-inch well branched stalk, 
and is a vigorous grower. No. 51-56.

PINK ENCHANTMENT (Muhlestein). E.-M. (Rasp- 
berry Ice Cream x 49-11, sister to Pink Fulfill- 
ment.) This is the deepest pink I have bred to 
date. It is proving a remarkable parent for 
deepening the pink color. Mentioned by Harold 
Odle on page 63, A.I.S. Bulletin Number 131 
as 53-4. Actually it is number 51-4. The flowers 
are not as large as the other pinks I am bring- 
ing out this year, nor is the form as near per- 
fection, but it is a complete self with semi- 
flaring flowers that have a most rich, bright 
cerise beard. Very limited stock, but the hy- 
bridizers want it badly so I will release only

PINK FULFILLMENT (Muhlestein). M.-L. (47-72: 
Gold Ruffles x 45-64-1A: Alice Harding x Dr. 
Loomis’ ‘Type Dore'’—a Sea Shell seedling) x 
(Pink Formal). This is the pink that, like its 
parent 47-72, bloomed without increase and 
was numbered 49-11C, however, it later in the 
summer sent up one small blade of increase 
and I am now able to release a few rhizomes. 
Quite deep and rich in color, this pink has 
more quality and substance than its fine par- 
ent Pink Formal, and, of course, is much more 
of a true pink. It is proving one of the best 
breeders I have ever used, and I introduce 
two of its children this year. The flowers are 
large and have very heavy substance. The 
falls flare and are very full and round. H.C. ‘52. 
Height 38 inches. Limited stock. Net... .$35.00 
RARE PEARL (Elsie Schramm). E.-M. (Elmohr x 
Mt. Washington.) Large flaring cream with 
pearled tones in the falls which fade as the 
flower grows larger and ages which seems to 
make it more attractive. Surely one of the pret- 
tiest and most unusual of the Mohr family and 
along with Mohr Glorious is the best Elmohr 
seedling we have grown to date. Vigorous and 
healthy of growth it will be hardy and easy '

SIERRA SKIES (W. B. Schortman). E.-M. (Santa 
Barbara x Sierra Blue) x (Chivalry). In the me- 
dium blue class this is nearest spectrum blue 
of any bearded iris we have seen. The large, 
beautifully formed flowers are carried to per- 
fection on heavy 38-inch stalks. We cannot 
praise this fine blue too highly. From a hy- 
bridizer who specializes in blues and the first, 
after long years of breeding, he felt confident 
was exceptional enough to name. Surely a 
superb first introduction. H.C. ‘53. Net. .$20.00 
SHORT SONG (Les Peterson), M.-L. (Ormohr) x 
Happy Days x Depute Nomblot). For the front 
of the border here is a delightful, very large, 
heavy substanced smoothly finished light lav- 
ender-blue self with a pale yellow beard, 
tipped white, that will more than please lovers 
of the Mohr family and those who want some 
shorter iris for the border. It is the first intro- 
duction from a most careful and discriminating 
hybridizer, who, we are happy to say, has a 
red out of Red Waves and the pollen parent 
of Short Song that is simply magnificent. Vig- 
orous and easy of growth. Height 26 to 30

UTAH CREAM (Muhlestein). M.-L. (Gold Ruffles 
x sister to Cream Gold.) Here is a large, flar- 
ing, beautifully formed cream with quality and 
charm to spare. Undoubtedly will prove a mar-

the finest seedlings | have had in pinks,

ZARA (Georgia (Mrs. Wm. J.) Hinkle). M. (New 
Snow) x (Faught 19H: ((24-F-3: Purissima x 
Santa Barbara) x (Hall brown sdlg.)) x (Great 
Lakes). We might term this a larger, improved, 
Pierra Menard. It is a rich medium-blue self, 
standards slightly open and retain their posi- 
tion because of the superb substance of the 
flower. Already proven a magnificent breeder 
of blues and whites. With this breeding it 
cannot miss as a parent. Heavy 40 inch stalks 
make it a standout in any planting.
