HARVEST MOON (Whiting, 1944) Each $4.00 



A luscious apricot blend, the flowers large and rounded, with full, 

 wide petals of extra heavy substance. Almost as fine as Mellowglow 

 and very much the same color. 



ICY BLUE (Weed, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The lightest blue self in the list. Beautifully formed, amply branched 

 and the stems reach four feet. Almost white, the color is clearly de- 

 fined as lightest delicate blue with orange beard. HM AIS, 1941. 



IDANHA (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $2.50 



This is a tall pronounced bicolor with apricot-yellow standards and 

 pinky falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that reach four feet, widely 

 and abundantly branched, making it ideal for garden effect — a pink- 

 and-tan picture. Large blooms, lasting over a long period. 



INDIAN HILLS (Grant, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Rich true purple, more red than blue, with a silky sheen about it that 

 gives it exceptional brilliance. Very large oval-shaped blossoms, a 

 rampant grower and one of the most effective as a garden mass — 

 gloriously vivid. 



ILLUSION (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $7.50 



An orchid-pink Ormohr seedling, altogether different from the parent 

 or any others in this series. It has that peculiar, elusive air about it 

 that marks these Wm. Mohr hybrids. Delicately colored, with a tawny 

 brown overlay on the haft and a brown-tipped beard. The very last 

 Iris to flower in our garden, huge in size, with many branches, 30 

 inches tall. See page 1 5. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, 1942) Each $8.00 



Lustrous, deepest, richest velvety purple, almost black. The finest 

 and most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from the 

 famous Sable. 38-inch stems, well branched, with every good quality 

 desired in an Iris. Midseason and long lasting. HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM 1944. 



INNOVATION (Hall, 1945) Each $7.00 



A rose-trimmed plicata, brighter and more colorful than other pinkish 

 plicatas. It carries a lot of color — a pink Firecracker, as it were — 

 with three-foot stems and good branches. Hardy and increases fast. 



JAKE (Long-Sass, 1943) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A white white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow 

 near the center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an 

 easy grower. Stands right up alongside many more expensive new 

 whites. 



JASPER AGATE (Williams, 1943) Each $10.00 



Distinct new shade of copper-gold-red, with an underlying copper- 

 pink tone throughout the entire flower. Hard to describe, it is reallv 

 a new color to the Iris spectrum, with smooth velvety finish and no 

 veining; a true self. HM AIS, 1944. 



JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux, 1931) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



A smooth, soft, light buff, described by some as "coffee colored." 

 The stems are tall and well branched and the large flowers are slightly 

 wavy. A very distinct Iris. 



JOYCETTE (J. Sass, 1932) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Dark maroon-red, practically a self. A most vigorous grower with very 

 strong straight and well-branched stems, usually bearing several open 

 flowers at the same time. Stock limited. 



JULIET (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $10.00 



We think that this is one of the most colorful and fiery blends that 

 we have seen. It is a sort of flame-copper, with salmon shadings, and 

 the beards and central areas are a mass of brightest burnt orange. 

 Large flowers; the standards upright and well closed, the falls broad 

 and distinctly flaring. Increases fast and makes a gorgeous clump. 



JUNALUSKA (Kirk., 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Copper-red falls and copper-gold standards — a magificent Iris with 

 a coppery red garden effect. An early bloomer, very tall and well 

 branched. Always admired and one of the "best sellers" in this cata- 

 log. Runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1938. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 

 1937. 



KALINGA (Kleinsorge, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



Huge cream self, outstanding not only as an exhibition spike but as 

 a garden specimen as well. The broad spreading ivory-textured blooms 

 generally come out in groups of three or four simultaneously. HM 

 AIS, 1936. 



KATHERINE FAY (Fay, 1945) Each $10.00 



A grand white, large, tall and with semi-flaring ruffled blooms. All 

 white, with no yellow in the center. It is an easy grower and rapid 

 multiplier, 100% hardy. HM AIS, 1945. 



BATAAN 



FORTUNE 



FORTUNE (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Solid and uniform old gold, a flower of startling size and broadly 

 spreading form. The color is not dull, but very much alive due 

 to a peculiar overlay of "rusty red" that seems to come from 

 nowhere but is apparent in all parts of the flower. Of medium 

 height, the gigantic blooms are on a level that permits full 

 observation of their size and beauty.
