GOLDEN HIND Each 35c 



No yellow ins in commerce contains the rich deep buttercup 

 tone of this English origination. A vivid red-orange beard 

 gi\ es it extra brightness. 



GOLDEN LIGHT Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



A highly ruffled and very free flowering cinnamon-orange 

 buff affair. It completely displaces the older Euphony, and 

 can be had at a remarkably low price. Fine for cutting and 

 for garden effect 



GOLDEN MADONNA Each $3.00 



An Essig-Salbach introduction of 1940, creamy white and 

 soft primrose combination, hardly to be classed with the 

 yellows but rather as a cream. Very large, with domed stan- 

 dards and semi-flaring falls. 40 inches in height. 



GOLDEN MAJESTY Each $1 .50 ; 3 for $4.00 



The uniformly colored deep yellow from Salbach. Flowering 

 in many parts of the country last year, it proved to be all 

 that was claimed for it and we endorse it as one of the three 

 or four top yellows available. The flowers are large and of 

 thick substance, hold their color, and the plant is a good 

 grower and fine increaser. 



GOLDEN SPIKE Each $10.00 



Along with Spun Gold and one or two others, this ranks at 

 the very top amongst the deep golden yellows of today. It 

 is so yellow, and has such a heavy orange-yellow beard, that 

 those who view it for the first time are almost left gasping! 

 The form is rather oval, with slightly ruffled standards, and 

 there are several flowers open at once. Very large, it with- 

 stands rain and sun alike. A novelty well worth the money. 



GOLDEN TREASURE 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. 



GOOD CHEER Each 50c 



Clear orange yellow standards, falls the same but heavily 

 overlaid with red-brown. You will find this quite different 

 from other variegatas, a standout as a' garden highlight. 



GRACE MOHR Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



A seedling of William Mohr, with widely flaring falls and 

 tall stems reaching to 40 inches. The color is not much 

 different than that of Ormohr, but the fiower is of different 

 shape and a bit earlier. 



GRAND CANYON Each $4.00 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper and 

 gold. Entirely different from any iris we have ever intro- 

 duced, it calls to mind the new French iris Charlotte Millet, 

 but is deeper and far more colorful. As will be noted in the 

 color plate, this iris possesses attractive form in its suggestion 

 of ruffling without loss of balance. An iris to be admired at 

 close range, and one which we surmise would be especially 

 suited to bringing indoors and associated with oriental rugs. 

 About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it flowers over 

 a very long season. The individual blooms are of very large 

 size and hold up splendidly in any weather. 



GREAT LAKES Each $1.75 ; 3 for $4.50 



A new clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, 

 of London, Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, 

 with handsome foliage and finely branched 4-foot stalks. 

 Color is about the same shade as Shining Waters. H.fvl.A. I S. 

 1939. A. M. 1940. Dykes Medal 1942. 



GUDRUN Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a 

 magnolia. A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange 

 beard and a slight gold dust sprinkling over the entire bloom. 

 A constant winner at the shows. 



GYPSY BARON Each $15.00 



Very deep blue-purple plicata. The falls are marbled rather 

 than stitched, giving the flower a much darker appearance 

 than usual in the plicata type. 



HAPPY DAYS Each 30c ; 3 for 75c 



A giant of a llower, smooth light yellovx 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. 



HELEN M. RIEDEL Each $5.00 



Golden yellow standards contrast w ith most brilliant orange- 

 red falls. Introduced as an improvement upon Radiant; it is 

 taller, larger, but not quite so coppery. A fine iris that makes 

 a startling garden display. 



ICY BLUE Each $3.00 



The lightest blue self in the list. This iris is just about perfect 

 in every way — a gigantic bloom, beautifully formed, amply 

 branched, and the stalks reach four feet or over. Almost 

 white, the color is clearly defined as lightest delicate blue. 

 The beard is orange. National Iris Gardens finest introduc- 

 tion of 1941. 



IDANHA Each $4.00 



A very tall pronounced bi-color with apricot-yellow stan- 

 dards and pinky-lavender falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks 

 that reach four feet, widely and abundantly branched, making 

 it ideal for garden effect. Viewed as a clump, it gives the 

 impression of a mass of apricot-tan and pink. Inidividual 

 blossoms are very large, w ell spaced and long lasting. 



IMPERIAL BLUSH Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Tall free flowering blush pink, reaching 40 inches in height. 

 This does not carry any of the yellow influence of most pinks, 

 but a lemon beard adds an interesting touch. 



INCOGNITO Each $1.00 



Dark and swarthy, a rich and \elvety blackish purple. It 

 has the shape and carriage of Legend, but i« darker in tone 

 and more of a self. Over four feet tall in our garden, and one 

 of our largest irises. 



ITASCA Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Of the darkest, yet most \ ivid deep amethyst. A rounded 

 bloom of silk-like texture and finish, with beard of soft brown 

 overlaid blue. One of the loveliest things we have ever 

 introduced, and it has never been equalled. Inclined to flower 

 too freely — cut out some of the spikes when they are first 

 forming and finer ones w ill result. 



JASMANIA Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



The color is about that of a ripe banana! Near the center is 

 a faint suggestion of light brown, and a still fainter flush of 

 pale blue in the center of the falls. While not a clear yellow, 

 it is nearly so, and is actually the more beautiful for its 

 blended additions. 



JEAN CAYEUX Each 25c 



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

 colored." The stems are tall and w ell balanced in branching 

 w ith a long season of bloom. A \ ery distinct iris.
