SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck, 1940) Each $4.00 



Perhaps the most famous yellow Iris ever introduced. It has all of the 

 desired qualities of size, good branching, tall stems and rich solid 

 yellow color. Eagerly sought after because of its fine record, stock has 

 remained scarce. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1942; Dykes Medal, 1944. 



STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm, 1939) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Glowing red-copper self, one of the most brilliant Iris we have ever 

 seen when viewed with the sun behind it. In such a light it resembles 

 nothing quite so much as stained glass . . . rich and brilliant, almost 

 aflame! Self colored, with orange beard. Medium height. HM AIS, 

 1940. 



STARDOM (Hall, 1941) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Termed onion-skin-pink by the color chart, this fine Iris is not really 

 pink at all, but rather a smooth blend of coppery pink and apricot- 

 buff. It has also been called salmon-rose. Beard is tangerine or bril- 

 liant orange. With its large blooms and luscious color it is certain to 

 please you. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. 



STELLA POLARIS (Smith, 1939) 



Each $3.00 



A very large and superior creamy white with almost velvety surface. 

 Stems have 4-way branching and reach 42 inches in height. Strong 

 growing, it makes a magnificent clump or a perfect exhibition spike. 

 HM AIS, 1939. 



STORM KING (Nicholls, 1940) Each $5.00 



The king of the black Irises. Although a somewhat slow increaser, 

 its nearly black silky blooms are unmatched by any other variety we 

 have seen. Immense blooms, wide flaring falls with no haft markings. 

 Always scarce. HM AIS, 1941. 



SUEZ (Schreiner, 1944) Each $10.00 



A rich shade of oriental reddish purple, spotted and veined after 

 the combined pattern of the parents — Wm. Mohr and Mme. 

 Louis Aureau. A true break in Iris breeding which has the un- 

 usual quality of yielding fertile pollen and in addition sets seed 

 itself. Very few rhizomes. 



LADY MOHR 



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) Each $10.00 



This new Iris comes to us with flattering recommendation. All who 

 viewed it in the garden of the originator last year were enthusiastic 

 about it. Standards VanDyke-red to deep old rose; falls the same 

 with golden overlay, especially on the upper half. There is a dash of 

 violet-blue in the center of each fall. 36 inches, midseason. HM AIS, 

 1946. 



SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass, 1943) Each $7.50 



Introduced as the best of the Prairie Sunset seedlings to date and not 

 surpassed thus far. A soft golden tan or light apricot-buff, lighter in 

 tone than the parent, with very little rose or pinkish tints. As large 

 as Prairie Sunset and taller. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. 



TAPESTRY ROSE (Hall, 1941) Each $2.50 



An exquisite soft old rose blend in a class without much competition. 

 Large flowers with fine form and very good substance; 38-inch stems. 

 Lovely color and a free bloomer. HM AIS, 1942. 



TEA ROSE (Whiting, 1944) 



Each $7.00 



VICE REGAL 



A blend of rose and pale gold, well on the way to true pink. It is a 

 seedling of Matula crossed with China Maid. The color is strong and 

 warm enough to be seen across the garden and yet clear and delicate 

 as a Rose. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1945. 



THE ADMIRAL (Hall, 1941) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



An intense blue, deeper than medium blue, but not really a dark 

 shade. The form, finish and substance are outstanding. Withstands 

 either sun, wind or rain equally well, iasts long in bloom and makes 

 a wonderful garden clump. Bluish beard lends depth to the color. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1944. Shown in color on page 23. 



THE BLACK DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



Large blackish purple of even tone, velvety surface and large flowers. 

 If you want a black Iris and cannot afford the more expensive ones, 

 try this. Hardy and increases fast.
