GOLDEN FLEECE 



GOLDEN EAGLE (Hall, 1942) Each $2.50 



Brilliant light yellow, with a satiny sheen. One of the largest of 

 all Irises, it is clear, even yellow throughout, without a trace of 

 amber or other shadings. A rapid increaser and easy grower. 

 Mr. Hall considers this one of his best introductions. HM AIS, 

 1942.

GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass, 1940) Each $3.00 



A big lemon-colored flower with creamy falls edged gold. Beau- 

 tifully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. The illus- 

 tration above is an excellent likeness. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 

 1942. 



GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



The deepest golden yellow of all. Of medium size and height, 

 with horizontal falls, it is the standard used by most breeders 

 in their efforts for the perfect solid yellow. Very fast increaser 

 and makes a startling golden mass in the garden. AM AIS, 

 1937. Stock limited. 



GOLDEN MADONNA (Essig, 1940) Each $1.50 



Creamy white and soft primrose combination, hardly to be 

 classed with the yellows but rather as a cream. Very large, 

 with domed standards and semi-flaring falls. 



GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 lor $2.50 



For a deep yellow with all good habits we can recommend Golden 

 Majesty above all others in this price field. A big flower with broad 

 falls and closed standards, does not fade in the sun and has proven 

 reliable everywhere. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. See 

 page 10. 



GOLDEN SPANGLE (Cassebeer, 1944) Each $4.50 



Deeper yellow than Golden Fleece but with a somewhat similar color 

 arrangement. Domed yellow standards; falls clear white with heavy 

 gilding of rich yellow forming a complete border. The orange beard 

 brings out in sharp contrast the white area of the falls. Tall, with 

 many flowers beautifully poised and ruffled. HM AIS, 1944. 



GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



One of the top ranking deep golden yellows of today. It is so yellow, 

 and has such a heavy orange-yellow beard, that those who see it for 

 the first time are almost left gasping. Large and tall, with several 

 flowers open at one time and they do not fade. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 

 1942. 



GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Solid deep cream, but with an outpouring of rich, golden orange all 

 about the central portion of the flower. Tall, perfectly branched, very 

 floriferous, it will stand out in a planting of hundreds of varieties. 

 HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. Stock very limited. 



GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $10.00 



Brilliant mustard-gold self, introduced last season. A much ruffled 

 flower with immense wide standards, nicely domed. Falls are exactly 

 the same color, with narrow band of copper shading near the outer 

 edges. A sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, not quite as 

 tall as either of these, but about 33 inches in height and a profuse 

 bloomer. Illustrated in color on page 5. 



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



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. 

 Entirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris 

 to be admired at close range and is especially suited to bringing in- 

 doors and associating with oriental rugs. Attractively formed and 

 delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it 

 flowers over a very long season. Very large, it is accurately shown 

 in color on page 1 1 . HM AIS, 1 943; AM, 1 944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London, 

 Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome 

 foliage and four-foot stalks, ideally branched. Look at its record: 

 HM AIS, 1939, AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 1942; No. 1 in the AIS 

 judges symposium for four successive years and among the first ten 

 for six years! Shown on page 10. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a Magnolia. 

 A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and suffusion of 

 gold sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold very short last year; few 

 plants. 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $5.00 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut brown, silky rather 

 than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new into the 

 variegata field. There is such a contrast in the standards and falls, 

 the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly brown without haft mark- 

 ings, that it commands immediate attention. 4-foot stems, lots of 

 flowers. HM AIS, 1945. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) Each $4.00 



Very deep blue-purple plicata. The flowers are marbled, rather than 

 stitched, giving the blossoms a much darker appearance than the 

 usual plicata type. Big and bold, accurately shown in color on page 1 5. 



HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



A giant flower, smooth light yellow in color. Inclined to lush growth 

 and in severe climates should be afforded some protection, but it 

 amply rewards this extra care. We can now supply it at a figure any 

 gardener can afford. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each $7.50 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of individuality and style. Tall 

 and strong stems, the flowers large and of substantial build with color 

 that is clear and bright; petals slightly waved. Height 38 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1945. See color illustration, page 22.
