EDWARD LAPHAM Each $17.00 



A very fine new red by the man who produced Red Gleam. 

 We do not think that this iris is any redder than Red Gleam, 

 however, although it has a very smooth finish and is more 

 nearly self colored. The falls have an ox erlay of solid brown 

 on the haft. 



ELMOHR Each $17.00 



A \ ery rich red-violet seedling of \\m. Mohr. This is one of 

 the most exciting new irises that we have ever grown, and 

 it is quite likely to become the most popular of all Wm. Mohr 

 seedlings when a lower price makes it available to the 

 average gardener. The stems are at least three feet tall with 

 excellent branching and a great number of huge blooms. 



ELSA SASS Each $3.00 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a green- 

 ish cast in its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. 

 The blossoms are of large size, rounded in form, and slightly 

 frilled at the edges. One of the most startling things ever 

 released by the Sass Brothers. 



EROS Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Very tall salmon colored self, possibly the nearest to this 

 color ideal that has ever been offered. The throat is lit with 

 gold, giving it a special brilliance. 



ETHEL PECKHAM Each 25c 



Large, perfectly formed flowers of a brilliant reddish tone. 

 At the time of its introduction it was far in advance of all 

 other reds. It throws up a few occasional stalks throughout 

 the summer and fall. 



ETHEL WYN DUBUAR Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Long one of the best and most reliable lilac pinks, w ith very 

 large flowers of a uniform shade, set with lemon beard. Very 

 pink in effect when planted with either blue or purple sorts. 



ETHIOP QUEEN Sold Out 



We hear a lot about "black" irises; this is surely a near 

 approach, with standards of deep blackish violet, and falls 

 practically coal black. Substance is extra heavy and velvety, 

 with a glistening sheen. 



EVELYN PULLAR Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



A real winter bloomer, but actually a tall bearded iris in two 

 tones of pale blue with bright yellow beard. Protected from 

 snow and freezing weather by a box-like frame, it will pro- 

 duce huge stalks of lovely flowers throughout mid-winter. 



EXCLUSIVE Each 60c 



A 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. 



FAIR ELAINE Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Standards are almost cream, the falls an emphatic yellow 

 set off with a most fiery orange beard. This and the new Elsa 

 Sass are truly distinct innovations in the field of yellow iris, 

 now becoming so crowded. 



FAR WEST Each 50c ; 3 for $1 .25 



One of the loveliest of all blends, a rare medley of salmon 

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

 heart. It is of bold and sturdy growing habit, the big blooms 

 well spaced on fine stalks reaching 40 inches in height. A 

 great bargain at this price. 



FIESTA Each $2.50 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot orange 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. 



FLORA CAMPBELL Each $2.00 



A new russet red, Etruscan red of Ridgeway, from H M. Hill 

 of Lafontaine, Kansas. Without prior fanfare this newccHner 

 last year turned out to be one of the iris nuggets of 1*540. 

 A coppery red on the order of E. B. Williamson, smooth and 

 velvety, with fiery brilliance. 



FLORENTINE Each $2.00 



A plicata that is really different! The white ground color is 

 entirely dotted with soft blue, with such an overall effect 

 that the flower seems quite submerged in flaky blue dust. 

 Enormous in size, with good branching. From Cayeux. 



FORTUNE Each $5.00 



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

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

 alive, due to a peculiar overlay of "rusty red," which seems 

 to come from nowhere but is apparent in all parts of the 

 flower. This iris is a pronounced self from top to bottom, 

 and it carries remarkably well in the garden. Of medium 

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

 observation of their size and beauty. 



FRANK ADAMS Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A tall and very well proportioned large new iris with rosy 

 tan standards and rosy red falls. Produced by E. G. Lapham, 

 of Elkhart, Indiana. Flowers, stalk and foliage are of un- 

 usually large size. 



GARDEN MAGIC Sold Out 



A magnificent deep, glowing, velvety red. For the past two 

 or three years this has been generally recognized as the finest 

 red in existence. The new Red Gleam is of a lighter tone, 

 not quite so large, and a nearer approach to true red. Garden 

 Magic is quite late, tall, a big blossom, and wonderfully rich 

 without haft markings. 



GLEN ELLEN Each $2.50 



Luminous golden tan with a bronzy suffusion on the falls. 

 Flowers are very large on well branched three foot stems. 



GLORIOLE Each 30c ; 3 for 75c 



An ins of huge size with pale blue petals overlaid with frosty 

 crystal-like particles. Wonderfully well formed and a noble 

 flower. Height 40 inches. Color sometimes called "ice blue." 



GLOWPORT Each 50c ; 3 for $ 1 . 25 



Solidly colored glowing wine red, devoid of haft markings, 

 with bronze yellow beard. Introduced in 1939 on its merit as 

 an exceptional red iris, it has now proven to be a most 

 reliable fall bloomer in various parts of the country. Tall and 

 well branched. 



GOLDEN AMBER Each $ 1 . 50 



The name well describes the flower — a soft amber yellow, 

 overlaid with old gold. The orange beard livens it up. One of 

 Miss Sturtevant's comparatively recent ones. 



GOLDEN FLEECE Each $15.00 



Since the reader might suppose from the name that this iris 

 is another deep yellow, we call special attention to the fact 

 that it is actually a lemon-colored flower, with creamy falls 

 edged gold — wholly unlike any other yellow iris. It is beau- 

 tifully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. At Nash- 

 ville, during the A.I.S. meeting in 1941, it stood out as one 

 of the most noteworthy of all new introductions. A Sass 

 production released in 1940. 



GOLDEN HELMET Sold Out 



A huge King Tut, with very ruffled standards and oxblood 

 red falls, waved at tips. Velvety texture, a rich bit of color.
