THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1 937) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Simply colossal in size, as smooth and heavy as a piece of richest 

 plush. It is deep rosy wine-red, solid at the haft, with a brownish 

 cast near the center; beard rich orange. It is not the reddest Iris 

 but the coloring is gorgeously deep and intense. Dykes Medal, 

 1941. 



TREVA (DeForest, 1945) Each $10.00 



A new glistening golden apricot self. With very wide standards 

 and falls, and flaring form, it has that unusual quality of frosti- 

 ness which distinguishes Glorrsle. This one, however, has what 

 might be termed golden frost! HM AIS, 1946. 



THE SENTINEL (Hall, 1942) Each $2.00 



Burnished copper describes this new color in Iris. On the order 

 of Casa Morena in general color tone, possibly a bit more coppery. 

 Flowers are large, form and substance good, but it is closely 

 branched and of medium height. However, it makes a very rich 

 and glowing clump and the novel color stops all garden visitors. 



THREE CHEERS (Cook, 1945) Each $12.50 



An amazingly brilliant bicolor similar to Amigo in pattern, but 

 tall — 42 inches — and richer and bolder in contrast. Standards 

 blue-white, falls semi-flaring with narrow border like the stand- 

 ards. A Wabash seedling. HM AIS, 1946. 



THREE OAKS (Whiting, 1943) Each $7.00 



This massive rose-pink blend opened the eyes of all the judges 

 last season. Huge in size, beautifully blended tones of rose-pink 

 and copper, and on very tall stems, it was one of the sensations 

 of our garden. Lasts over an extra long period. Height 40 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1945. 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) Each $5.00 



Of bold stature and splendid form, this is one of the most striking 

 newcomers in an old color class that welcomes such improvements. 

 Deep but bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in texture, 

 without haft markings. It has wide spreading falls and three-foot 

 stems. HM AIS, 1943. 



VICE REGAL (Miles) Each $7.50 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada. We have grown it in our 

 garden for three seasons and consider it one of the most richly 

 colored seedlings we have ever tested. The standards and falls are 

 almost identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them 

 appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft marking — a supreme 

 shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with bronze beard. 33 inches 

 tall. Shown on page 25. 



VISION OF MERZA (DeForest, 1944) Each $6.00 



Rose-brown on a cream ground, of heavy marbled rather than a 

 stitched effect. This is net only an unusual and bizarre color pat- 

 tern, but the flower is well shaped with wide segments and gigantic 

 in size; 40 inches tall. 



THREE SISTERS (DeForest, 1941) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A distinct and exciting combination of pale creamy yellow stand- 

 ards and red-toned falls. In sunny weather the standards are 

 almost white. A vigorous grower and rapid increaser, with abun- 

 dant well-branched stalks. In the originator's garden it averaged 



36 to 40 inches. 



TIFFANJA (DeForest, 1942) Each $3.50 



A new and unique plicata, having good form and thick substance. 

 Smooth and clean cut; standards colonial buff; falls creamy white, 

 definitely bordered buff, brushed at the haft and speckled around 

 the border with light brown. This is a big flower, 42 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. Shown in color on page 23. 



TIFFANY (H. Sass, 1938) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Soft but decidedly yellow in color, with abundant stitching of 

 bronzy pinkish violet. A gracefully frilled flower of full propor- 

 tions; very large, vigorous growing and reasonably tall. About 

 the best of the low-priced yellow plicatas and will give any of 

 them a run for their money. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1943. Shown 

 on page 1 9. 



TISHOMINGO (Caldwell, 1942) Each $7.00 



Large clear Wistaria-blue self. Widely spreading form, with large 

 domed standards, heavy stalks and three branches. There is a 

 certain frostiness in its appearance, brought on by a light flush 

 around the beard. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $7.50 



When this Iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge's garden, it was so 

 different, so remarkable in both color and form, that we lost all 

 interest in the many other splendid seedlings in the same garden. 

 Tobacco Road is a golden tobacco-brown self. Standards are up- 

 right and almost closed, with heavy midribs. The falls are broad, 

 very wide at the haft and held stiffly horizontal. Height 32 to 

 36 inches, very good branching. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



TOKEN (Hall, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards old gold flushed rose; falls rosy brown-red, with very 

 little haft venation. Carries much of the salmony orange effect 

 of the old variety Mary Geddes, but with less venation. Does not 

 fade and is a husky grower, 38 inches tall, with blooms having 

 a 7-inch spread. 



TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A truly gigantic flower of bright clear yellow, slightly lighter in 

 the center of the falls. Tall stems, a fast increaser and easy 

 grower. We have sold more rhizomes of Treasure Island than of 

 any Iris we have ever introduced. You will not be disappointed 

 in this splendid yellow. AM AIS, 1945. 



WABASH (Williamson, 1937) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered 

 white — the most striking amoena of all. Very tall, branched 

 above the middle of the stalk with a profusion of large slightly 

 ruffled blossoms. The color plate on page 14 shows this popular 

 Iris in perfect detail. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the 

 Dykes Medal in 1940. 



WASATCH (Thorup, 1935) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Huge plicata of stunning size, clean white with blue stitching in 

 the button-hole manner. Heavy stalks and very broad foliage, 

 medium in height, blooming among the first of the tall bearded 

 varieties. 



WEST POINT (Nicholls, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards bright indigo-blue, very broad and well held; falls in- 

 tense indigo-blue with a brownish cast at the haft. The beard is 

 wide and extra heavy, like the epaulets on a blue uniform. A mag- 

 nificent Iris, very late. HM AIS, 1940. 



WHITE CITY (Murrell, 1939) Each $3.00 



Dykes Medal Winner in England in 1940. An immense flower 

 of blue-white, with deeper blue flush at the heart. A stalwart 

 grower, the great flowers possessing a silken finish and ice cold 

 effect. AM AIS, 1945. 



WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant, 1943) Each $9.00 



A large porcelain-white with blue at the base of the white beard, 

 making the beard appear quite blue. Something new in whites, 

 along the line of And Thou and White City. Almost 4 feet in 

 height, quite early. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. 



WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner, 1941) 



Each $2.50; 3 for $6.00 



A fine hardy white, bred in Minnesota. Widely flaring falls, snow- 

 white in color, the throat heavily tinted gold. Branching is excel- 

 lent and the stout stems hold the big blooms well aloft. This is 

 surely one of our best whites. HM AIS, 1942. 



WM. MOHR (Mohr, 1925) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



The entire bloom is a self of pale rosy lilac closely netted and 

 veined deep violet, producing a weird, yet very lovely effect. 

 A monster flower of medium height, with small foliage. Does bet- 

 ter if divided and transplanted at least every other year. 



WORTHINGTON (Cook, 1943) Each $5.00 



Harmonious bicolor of great size and pleasing rosy red effect, the 

 color particularly clear and bright. Of strong growth, three feet 

 in height. Brighter than the old but popular Ethel Peckham, with 

 cleaner haft and much larger blossoms.
