Please ead “Shes! 
Reasons why we can give you the prices in this Catalog: 
First: We belong to no price fixing combination. 
Second: Our rate of increase is greater per hill; due to our wonderful soil condi- 
tions and climate. 
Third: We can plant our rows closer together, and raise more per acre. 
Fourth: No costly Color Catalog; this would make a tremendous overhead ex- 
pense, Lower costs are passed on to our customers. 
Fifth: All commodities are much higher than last year; your Iris Values are lower 
in this Catalog than ever before. 
New Introductions for 1955 
CASINO. (Plough 1955) E. L. 40 in. No. 48-3 (Wm. Mohr x Firecrackers). A huge 
rosy Mulberry self (closest to Magnolia Purple by Wilson). Falls have Mohr veining 
in an intricate pattern. The semi-flaring flowers are of very firm substance, very large 
and well rounded form. and long lasting. Beard is brownish yellow; this one draws 
from all that see it, and nothing in commerce like it. $15.60 
RUF¥LED ELEGANCE. (R. M. White). Tall bearded; 38 inches high; late midseason. 
Stancards Petunia Violet; falls Chinese Violet; margins on both darker. Effect is rosy 
violet blend. Parentage is Easter Bonnet x Remember Me. Large flower, well 
brauched and a star in any Iris Garden. Stock is scarce; one to a customer. $20.00 
SAFARI. (Plough 1954). M.L. 30 inch. No. 48-53-1. (Firecracker x Late Sunset). A 
fancy type washed and striated plicata dene in warm brown. The heart of the flower 
has a golden glow. The standards are bright tan with a yellow glint and are held 
firmly upright. The semi-flaring falls are rounded and held flat. They have a cream 
ground with an over all wash of tan the color of the standards. There is a small light 
area at the tip of the yellow beard. Carries pollen and should be a good breeder. $10.00 
WITCH DOCTOR. (Plough 1955). E-L 28 inch No. 47-6-5 (W-Cream Sdlg x Capitola). 
Here is an early Onco Bred, strong and vigorous. The Standards are blue-lavender 
with buffy-tan mid rib. The falls from center down are a grayed-blue lavender with 
_buffy-tan haft and heart. Falls are faintly bordered with buffy-tan bottom. The beard 
is yellow deep down fading out to blue at the tip of the beard. The flowers are as large 
as any Iris in commerce, and the flower might be called a larger glorified Conquest. 
Here is an eye stopper and will go places. Not much stock. $20.06 
In introducing for Mr. White the Ruffled Elegance we feel that this variety will 
do Mr. White full justice as his first introduction and we look forward to other fine 
things from Mr. White. He has very fine seedlings, best breeding anywhere. 
Mr. Plough, through his Laurel Hill, is already known to the trade. The three we 
introduce jointly with Mr. Plough are selections from a host of fine seedlings that 
would do credit to any hybridizer. We regret that Mr. Plough’s new GAY PAREE will 
have to wait for introduction in 1956. Think of this one with white standards, snow 
white, bottom of falls snow white, and center of falls to haft a chartreuse yellow, AND 
WITH A HUGE DEEP GERANIUM RED BEARD. 1956 on this fellow; will be here 
in our Display Garden this year, 1955. fe
