\ SE PINK (Lapham ’50) *HL-32” This is now down to only a third of the introductory 
price, yet it is still among the toP few Flamingo pinks. It is certainly one of the very pinkest Iris released 
to date. A self of sufficient intensity and depth of color to have real landscape value. Has a particularly 
pleasing reddish-tangerine beard. Of exceptional value to hybridizers as its family tree includes some 
of Lapham’s fine reds to give brilliance to the offspring. Complete pedigree back for three to five gen- 
erations furnished on request with every order for Paradise Pink. Pleasing spicy fragrance. HM’50; AM’52

FUCHSIA (Hall 51) = * EM-34” One of the richest and most vivid of the new pinks. A striking 
deep raspberry-pink, or fuchsia, with a very thick beard that is almost red. A self of quite uniform coloring 
and with nice flaring falls, slightly waved at the edges. Has a strong tendency for blooming in fall as well 
as spring, and may turn out to be a regular fall bloomer. HM’53 - {Tally-Ho x Fantasy}......... $5.00 
SYLLABUB (Douglas 50) = ML-28” In the words of a very prominent Iris hybridizer and AIS 
judge: “A vision of real loveliness in soft flesh pink—an absolute self, without a sign of reticulation and 
with a heavy and truly pink beard. It does not fade in the hot sun, not one bit; it has closed standards, 
absolutely, and falls that flare beautifully. It is of good size, and it has substance. The stalk is marvelous 
with four or five branches—long branches—starting close to the ground. | counted eleven buds on the 
main stalk of bloom.” Plant with Cahokia or New Hope for an exceptionally striking garden effect. HC’48;

(Muhlestein ’49) E to L-40” So outstanding it was the only Flamingo 
among the runners-up for the 1953 Dyke’s Medal. For several years, Pink Formal has been running Cherie 
a close race for top position among the pinks. Pink Formal has a richer coloring and much heavier substance. 
Close to pure pink, but slightly on the salmon side with intense red-tangerine beard. Probably unsurpassed 
among pinks in its ability to stand up in the wind, rain and sun. | have personally found this to be the 
most outstanding of all Flamingo Pinks in its ability to yield a heavy set of seeds whether used as a seed 
parent or a pollen parent. A setting of pods with this has often been close to 100%. Already proven to 
pass its many good points on to its children. AM’51; RU Dykes ’53 - [Golden Eagle x SQ72}............

(Sapp ’49) ML-36” One of the loveliest, exceptionally pure true pink, with very 
little of the salmon so common in most varieties. Flowers set off by a very prominent scarlet-tangerine 
beard. Flaring, perky flowers on tall, well-branched stalks. Highly recommended by all who see it. A vigorous 
grower, a heavy bloomer. HM’50 —- { Golden Eagle x D. Hall’s 43-18}............ $3.50; 
FANTASY (Hall '47) * iB EM-30” A striking rosy-orchid pink, or raspberry pink. A deeper 
colorinG than most, so it is for those who want a brighter pink. The combination of this new color with 
the tangerine beard gives Fantasy exceptional fascination. Form, substance and branching are good, and 
it is an Iris that you will enjoy. Stands up well even in hot California sun. Has a very strong tendency to 
re-bloom in late fall. Is pollen parent of both Cherie and Fuchsia and one that | am using ale in my

(Hall 749) * EM-34” A Flamingo Pink that has been thoroughly tested and emerged 
as second only to Pink Formal in voting for 1951 Awards of Merit. It is a smooth self, of deeper color than 
Cherie, and without disfiguring haft markings. Beard is deep tangerine. Nicely ruffled, one of the most 
flaring of all Flamingos. Many like it even better than Cherie. Heavy substance and good branching. You 
can’t go wrong on this one. HM’49; AM’51 — [Tally-Ho x Courtier}......... $3.50;

which all other pink Iris were judged. So outstanding The American Iris Society showed it in color in 
Bulletin 109. A delightful light flamingo pink of remarkable purity of tone. Large, beautifully ruffled 
flowers of excellent form and gracefulness. Superb, too, for the breeder, for it sets seed, yields abundant 
fertile pollen, and is known to give varied and beautiful pinks—witness Ballerina, described above. Proved 
to be fully hardy in the colder portions of our country. Dykes Medal ’51......... $3.50;
