visitors. A medium blue self with smoothly domed standards,

NORTHWESTERN (F. Cook 1952) M. I pay great homage 
to the originator of this iris the late Dr. Franklin Cook, a 
courageous and gallant gentleman. This majestic royal purple 
is a splendid example of his work in breeding better iris. A 
clear pure self even to the hafts and beard. The large flowers 
are firm textured, and are well placed on tall sturdy stalks. 
A thoroughly hardy iris of great beauty. H. M., A. I. S. 1951.

OLYMPIAN (G. Douglas 1948) M. Imposing and quite dif- 
ferent, this handsome iris is most resplendent in the garden. 
It is a bi-tone with perfectly domed standards of buff lightly 
blended with rose. The flaring and very broad falls are rosy 
brown with a deeper velvety flush of rose in the center. The 
flowers are very large of heavy thick substance, and have 
great weather resistance. 42. in. 3 for $6.00 $2.50

of warm yellow softened to a lighter tone in the center of 
the falls and a slight infusion of old gold at the haft around 
the full yellow beard. The firm standards are cupped and 
closed, the broad falls are semi-flaring and lightly ruffled at 
the edge. The whole flower has a delightful picoteed border 
that adds to its individuality and charm. A good grower, it 
has been tested in many parts of the country. H. C., A. I. S.

PAGAN PRINCESS (G. Douglas 1948) M. The first deep 
pink with a tangerine beard. The full well formed flowers of 
rosy pink are in striking but pleasing contrast to the full 
tangerine beard. An iris of great individuality and a new 
color effect in the garden. H. M., A. I. S. 1948. 38 in. $2.00 
PAGAN ROYAL (G. Douglas 1951) M. Some iris are espe- 
cially good for garden value in that their rich coloring 
stands out from afar. Such an iris is Pagan Royal with its 
big bold flowers of deep red-violet. A self with broad domed 
standards and large flaring rounded falls. The flower gives 
the effect of a glowing rich purple that is vivid and different 
from other dark purple iris. The branching and the place- 
ment of the blooms is excellent; four branches and terminal 
with 10 to 12 buds on each strong sturdy stalk. H. C., A. I. S. 
1948. H. M., A. I. S. 1952. 40 in. $5.00 
PAGAN SUNSET (G. Douglas 1951) M. It is difficult to con- 
vey in words an adequate description of this iris. Golden 
orange, rose, apricot and copper are mingled to form a 
blending of the colors we see in a rosy sunset. The stand- 
ards are extremely broad and domed with a full ruffling at 
the edges. The falls are flaring and fluted at the tips. Al- 
though it is not an extremely tall iris, the branching and 
arrangement of the flowers is exceptionally good. 34 in.

low dwarf iris that is well named for it literally makes a

PATRICIAN (H. F. Hall 1953) M. There does not seem to 
be words to adequately portray the beauty of this iris. It is a 
pure white of flaring form with a decidedly broad overlay of 
Barium Yellow on the upper part of the falls each side of 
the full yellow beard. The standards are highly and firmly 
domed with smoothly finished texture. The falls are very 
flaring, and are ornamented by the golden escutcheon 
toward the center of the bloom. Highly praised by A. I. S. 
judges, it has been described by one of them as “a rival of 
Truly Yours.” Very heavy substanced flowers with good 
branching, and hardy vigorous growth. H. C., A. I. S. 1952.
