NED LeFEVRE (Lapham, 1942) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Coppery salmon, rather on the light brown side when viewed as a 

 clump. A highly colored blend of orange and salmon tones, with 

 every good point — huge plant, tall and well-branched stalks. In- 

 creases fast and has great landscape value. 



NIGHTFALL (Hall, 1942) Each $2.50 



The falls are very velvety rich dark Pansy-purple with almost no 

 veining on the haft. Standards are several shades lighter than the 

 falls, making a very striking color combination. Plushlike substance 

 with a glistening sheen. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1941; 

 AM, 1945. 



NIGHTINGALE (Hall, 1942) Each $3.50 



The coloring of this Iris is really new, a glistening golden russet. 

 Surely a glorious and pleasing color, and the flowers are of large size 

 and on good stout stems. Both standards and falls are identical in 

 tone and even the beard is in harmony. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 

 1944. Illustrated in color on page 19. 



NYLON (Whiting, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Coppery tan self with heavy gold beard. One of our largest Irises and 

 the stalks are heavy and well branched. This is an Iris you will like 

 and one that the judges seem to have overlooked. 



OLA KALA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $7.50 



Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here is 

 one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and in addi- 

 tion it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely branched 

 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. HM AIS, 

 1943; AM, 1945. Tied for Dykes Medal, 1946. See page 6. 



OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color 

 break and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and 

 closed; falls wide and rather tailored in appearance. A perfectly huge 

 bloom, heavy in substance, and the longest lasting variety in our gar- 

 den. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1941. Seepage 17. 



ORANGE FLAME (Salbach, 1940) Each $2.00 



Standards golden orange, of exceptional brilliance; falls semi-flaring 

 and of fiery copper-red. A large, taller and more orange-colored 

 Radiant, with glowing beards and finely netted haft. Truly a flame in 

 the garden. 



OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $5.00 



A big heavy textured flower in smoothly blended shades of tawny sal- 

 mon, a rich gold beard and odd soft brown areas surmounting the 

 broad falls. For sheer individuality it ranks along with Old Parch- 

 ment, Tobacco Road and Aztec Copper. About three feet high, with 

 heavy stems and large flowers; very late. 



ORLOFF (H. Sass, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A peach and cinnamon plicata of good size and most unusual coloring, 

 being a sort of cinnamon-brown in effect. The ground color is deep 

 cream, heavily dotted and edged red-brown. Heavy bloomer, medium 

 height. HM AIS, 1937. 



ORMACO (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $4.00 



From a cross of Ormohr and Aztec Copper, Dr. Kleinsorge secured 

 this first seedling of the famous Ormohr. The color is an odd blend 

 of violet with much bronze and brown, especially about the center. 

 The whole flower has a metallic cast. Neither as tall nor as large as 

 its parent, still a large Iris and produces several blossoms per stalk. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



One of the largest Irises in existence, and especially noteworthy be- 

 cause it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, 

 with several great blooms on well-branched stalks. The color is pale 

 lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when first opening and 

 in dull weather. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



OVERTURE (Hall, 1944) Each $12.00 



This is the first of the new "flamingo" pinks we have offered. A lus- 

 cious shade of pure pink, of medium size, on tall and well-branched 

 stems. The bright red-orange beard gives it lots of zip. Increases 

 very fast and will make a clump of pink that you didn't think could 

 be possible in Iris! 



OZONE (J. Sass, 1935) Each 50c 



A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in standards 

 and falls, with a pronounced copper shoulder on each fall. Large and 

 of ideal shape, a fine grower. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. 



PACIFIC SUNSET (Salbach, 1944) Each $3.50 



An appealing big blend of old rose, gold and pink. Standards old 

 rose shading to gold at the base; falls light amaranth-pink shading 

 to gold on outer edges and upper half. Beard bright gold. 3-foot 

 well-branched stems; perfect form with ruffled standards. 



RUBIENT 



PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 1943) Each $10.00 



Gorgeous colorings of the Arizona desert blended into a stately 

 Iris reaching four feet in height. A soft buffy tan, with brown- 

 ish suffusion at the haft and violet midribs in the standards. 

 A light violet patch at the end of the beard adds a contrasting 

 touch. 



PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $8.00 



New white plicata which we like very much and which we re- 

 gard as different from the many others listed. Standards light 

 cream flushed pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed 

 bright gold across the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Re- 

 fined, clean and very brilliant. Tall and large, with all good 

 points. HM AIS, 1946. 



PATRICIA (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Pure white, both standards and falls heavily ruffled. A medium 

 sized flower, about 34 inches tall; a gem for creating a mass 

 of white bloom in the garden. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $3.00 



A pinkish plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in 

 color plate. This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying 

 power" and its pinkiness accents any spot where it is planted. 

 Oval shaped blooms on tall stems, nicely branched. Rapid in- 

 creaser. See color plate on opposite page. 



PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $5.00 



Tall wiry stems bear many medium sized flowers of peach-pink 

 color which last over a very long season. Makes a very pink 

 clump, where it is at its best. Not impressive the first season 

 as a single stalk. See color illustration on page 22. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $6.50 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade un- 

 like anything else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. 

 A crisp and clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy 

 texture. The beard is lemon. Height 3 feet; very late. HM AIS, 

 1942; AM, 1944. 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an inter- 

 mediate because of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. 

 The flowers are self colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, pro- 

 duced in great number. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942.
