1955 Wutreductions 
NIGHT 'N DAY. From top to bottom of the color plate. Standards, palest 
“Hortense Violet” (Ridgway). Falls, “Fluorite Violet” overlaid 
velvety black. A near-amoena in violet, rather than the usual ‘“‘blue’’ 
combination. Flowers are large and smooth, on a tall, well-branched 
stalk. A distinct variety. $30.00 
RANCHERO. A brown self. By comparison, the nearest to true brown. 
Iridescent flowers are large, of flaring form, with wide standards 
and falls. Color in Ridgway, between “Sudan” and “ Amber.” 
Three flowers out at once, well displayed on a 38-inch stalk. $15.00 
COUNTRY EDITOR. This very large, tall, all-yellow ground sister seed- 
ling of “By Line” has wide, rounded falls of deep yellow, lightly 
marked brown. Wide standards. Well displayed on a 40-inch 
stalk. $20.00 
ELYSIAN. Evenly spaced on a 38-inch stalk, the extra large, ruffled 
flowers are very attractive. A self of light “Sulphine Yellow,” by 
Ridgway. The standards measure 3x3 inches. The flaring, ruffled 
falls 3x3% inches, with seven inch spread. Excellent substance. 
While the variety has no plicata markings, it is from pollen of a 
lemon-chrome colored seedling of Blue Shimmer, on Cloudcap. 
$20.00 
CORALLINA. Real substance and good form in a medium sized tangerine 
bearded pink. Not over 30 inches tall. It has been termed the 
brightest pink of all. Crossed with Cloudcap, it produced very in- 
teresting results. Corallina is a seedling of Carabella by pollen of 
Pink Sensation. $10.00 
ELFIN TRACERY. Crisp white of rounded form, good substance, and lace- 
like edge on standards and falls. Falls are wide, with a bright yellow 
haft. Wide, closed standards. The large flowers are well-spaced on 
a 36-inch stalk. From pink-blend seedling and Pinnacle. $10.00 - 
CANBY SUNSET. We enjoy especially beautiful sunsets here, whether 
looking East toward the changing colors on Mt. Hood or toward 
the western sky beyond the Molalla. Soft shades of apricot- 
flamingo, as in this Iris variety, which has the best form and sub- 
stance, I believe, of any of these “apricot” hues from pink breeding. 
Vigorous grower. Tall stalk. The fine, large flowers of “Warm 
Buff” (Ridgway) are shaded salmon-pink on the styles, hafts, and 
center of standards. Near self-beard, rather than the bright red. 
Closed standards. $10.00
