JOLDEN MAJESTY 



GREAT LAKES 



SNOW FLURRY 



EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Soft powder-blue self, quite different from all other blues. Tall 

 and stately, with blooms of perfect form and thick enamel finish. 

 Just a suggestion of yellow in the center to liven it up. HM AIS, 

 1937; AM, 1939. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, 1944) Each $20.00 



Almost white standards shaded cream at the base, the falls a 

 medley of copper, red, lavender and deep violet, with a violet flush 

 down the center. On the order of Wabash, but is more of a blend 

 especially in the falls. One of the most talked-about new things. 



FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards bright light yellow; falls an emphatic deep yellow set 

 off with a fiery orange beard. Totally distinct from other yellows, 

 it increases fast and is indispensable in the garden and attracts 

 wide attention when exhibited. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



FAR WEST (Kleinsorge, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



One of the loveliest of all blends, a rare mixture of salmon and 

 golden sand, of coral and henna, with a soft glow at the heart. 

 Height 3 feet and over. Far West is the parent and grandparent 

 of many of Dr. Kleinsorge's finest seedlings. HM AIS, 1937. 



FIESTA (White, 1936) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot- 

 oraqge falls, a very gay affair. The 

 large oval blooms are well held on 3- 

 foot stems. From California and a 

 bit tender in severe climates. HM 

 AIS, 1935. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, 1943) 



Each $7.50 



A glowing dark burgundy-red pli- 

 cata, with yellow trim. The flowers 

 have good substance, are well formed 

 and are carried on fairly well- 

 branched stout 32-inch stems. The 

 depth and richness of color com- 

 mands the attention of every visitor. 

 Very limited stock; early orders only. 

 Shown on page 1 1 . 



FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill, 1940) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A new russet- red, or perhaps "peach- 

 red" would be more appropriate. It 

 has the deep, warm tones of brown- 

 ish red seen on the darkly colored 

 side of a luscious ripe peach. A glow- 

 ing, rich Iris, very large and hand- 

 somely formed, not nearly well 

 enough known. HM AIS, 1940. 



FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Something entirely different in color 

 — a melting cameo-pink that has 

 been referred to as "like the foam 

 on a strawberry soda." It has lines 

 of heavier color near the haft, with 

 a most startling shrimp-red beard. 

 Not large, it is an Iris to be enjoyed 

 as a clump for its most novel color. 

 HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



FLORENTINE (Cayeux, 1937) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A plicata that is really individual in 

 style — the white ground color is en- 

 tirely dotted with soft blue, with 

 such an over-all effect that the 

 flower seems quite submerged in 

 flaky blue dust. Enormous in size, 

 with very tall stalks and good 

 branching. 



FORTUNE (Kleinsorge, 1941) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Solid and uniform old gold, a flower 

 of startling size and broadly spread- 

 ing 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 me- 

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

 observation of their size and beauty. In color on page 13. 



FORTUNE'S FAVOR (DeForest, 1944) Each $10.00 



Really a giant in size, this new blend has about everything one 

 could ask for in a good Iris. The tan standards are broad and 

 closed. The very wide falls are rounded and colored a glistening 

 tan overlaid with lavender flush. Slightly waved and ruffled, lit 

 up by an extra heavy deep yellow beard. 



FRANCONIA (Graves, 1942) 



Each $8.50 



As cool and classic as white marble, a gigantic and perfectly 

 formed white Iris which may be the best white of all. Certainly 

 it is as fine as any we have ever grown and we recommend it 

 without hesitation. Originated in New Hampshire, its hardiness 

 is unquestioned. HM AIS, 1942. 



FRANK ADAMS (Lapham, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A tall and very well-proportioned large Iris with rosy tan stand- 

 ards flushed yellow and rosy red falls. It is not a true variegata 

 but might be called a variegata blend. The colors are not harsh 

 and blend well in the garden schemes. Flowers, stalk and foliage 

 are unusually large size. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1940. Shown in 

 color on page 1 8.
