MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Smiley ‘38) ML 38” $.50 
(Unknown) 
This Iris brought forth such superlatives in the early ‘40's as 
“A regal beauty—rich and velvety of copious substance— 
nearly a self of inky-black crepy standards, lustrous and 
silkey—typifies the best of the great ‘Dominion’ line. (How 
did they know it was from ‘Dominion’ with parentage un- 
known? That's a good question!) Your collection will not be 
complete without it.” And it won't if you're gathering the 
Dykes winners as so many are. Dykes Medal, England ‘48

The flowers are of good size and substance. White standards 
combined with falls of chartreuse yellow with a definite green 
cast give a striking effect. Should be good for green breeding. 
While we had no sets from it in ‘54 we are trying again, for 
last year many of our proven breeders failed us.

PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas ‘48) EM 36” 
(Pink Cameo) X [(40-10 X Melitza) X (F. Zenor)] 
A variation in the tangerine bearded pinks which appeals to

rose falls. H.M. ‘48

PARISIANA (Vilmorin ‘11) M $.75 
(Unknown) 
Famous mainly because William Mohr put some pollen of 
the Onco ‘gatesi’ on it and procured the great grand daddy 
of all the Mohr line. A diploid plicata in rather a pink tone— 
very difficult to find listed at present and our stock is limited.
