MODISTE Sold Out 



A beautiful self of pale mauve, much different from other 

 pale blues and lavenders now available. In color it is similar 

 to the old and lovely "Mile. Schwartz, " but MODISTE is 

 a flower of broad hafts, full rounded shape, and ideal growing 

 habits. Stems are heavy, w ell branched, and around 40 inches 

 tall. 



MOHRSON Each 60c 



A deep violet colored seedling of Wm. Mohr, with darker 

 veins and a rich bronzy gold beard. Here is a spectacular 

 flower, one of the very largest, ruffled and crinkled 



MONADNOCK Sold Out 



Tall and stately, a bright rose-red self, with flaring falls and 

 smooth finish. A seedling of Marquita, quite late, over 40 

 inches in height. 



MOROCCO ROSE Each $1.50 



Very large rose-pink self, with soft yellow glow at the heart 

 and brownish cast about the haft. We believe it to be the 

 nearest to genuine pink of any iris in this catalog. Unlike 

 most iris of this color, Morocco Rose is a really big flower. 



MRS. WILLARD JACQUES Each 50c ; 3 for $1 .25 



This is a more deeply colored flower than Noweta, which it 

 resembles in type. It has, however, an overtone of buffy 

 apricot, setting it apart from other pinks. Also, it is a very 

 large flower, with rather long falls and pronounced crinkling. 



MT. WASHINGTON Sold Out 



A giant white with the form of Shining Waters. Very tall, 

 wide at the hafts, and broadly flaring, it ranks with the 

 leaders among the new whites. 



MULBERRY ROSE Each $12.00 



Aptly described by the name, this new iris was introduced 

 by Robert Schreiner last year. Very tall stems hold the large 

 self colored blooms well aloft, and the branching is good. 

 A soft and pleasing color, most unusual, that might be 

 termed a deep pink mulberry shaded brown. 



NARAIN Each 35c 



A silky intense indigo blue, with blue beard on a cream 

 throat but without veinings. Rather, early, with immense 

 foliage and very large flowers. One of the best blues at any 

 price. 



NARANJA Each 30c ; 3 for 75c 



The first iris of huge size with a definite orange tone. Falls 

 are ochraceous orange, with a yellow heart, and the standards 

 are bright empire yellow, the beard orange yellow. It gives 

 a pronounced orange effect in the garden. See page 14 



NOONTIDE Each $1.00 



Referred to by Mr. Thole, the introducer, as his "yellow 

 Depute Nomblot. ' A very tall and large flowered solid 

 yellow, with an odd overlay of old gold. This is not a dirty 

 yellow, as one might be led to suspect, but a handsome and 

 unusual iris in a much crowded field. A fine grower, it will 

 not disappoint you. 



NOWETA Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



The fluffy ruffled pink that continues in great demand, de- 

 spite the influx of newer and larger flowers in this shade. 

 Free blooming, medium in size and height it is unbeatable 

 as a garden subject. 



NYLON Each $2.50 



Coppery tan self w ith very heavy gold beard. The flowers 

 are extra large and the stalks well branched. This is an iris 

 you will like, and one which has not recei\"ed sufficient 

 comment. 



OLD PARCHMENT 



Each $2.50 



A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay, a most unusual 

 color break and a distinctly beautiful new iris. Standards are 

 domed and closed, falls flaring and rather tailored in appear- 

 ance. A perfectly huge bloom, heavy of substance, and the 

 longest lasting variety in our garden. A Kleinsorge intro- 

 duction of 1939 that we consider the most outstanding recent 

 iris next to Prairie Sunset. 



ORMACO Each $12.00 



From a cross of Ormohr and Aztec Copper, Dr. Kleinsorge 

 secured this first seedling of the famous Ormohr. The color 

 is an odd blend of violet with much bronze and brown, 

 especially about the center. The whole flower has a metallic 

 cast. Not as large as Ormohr, but an extra large iris never- 

 theless. As with Ormohr, the stems are branched and produce 

 several blossoms per stalk, but it is not as tall as the parent. 



ORMOHR 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the largest irises in existence, and especially note- 

 worthy because it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 

 inches in height, with several great blooms on well branched 

 stems. Perfectly hardy and a producer of seed and a new 

 race of seedlings. The color is pale lilac with a silvery cast, 

 veined violet. 



ORLOFF Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



New plicata of good size and most unusual coloring, being a 

 sort of cinnamon brown in effect. The ground color is deep 

 cream, heavily dotted and etched red-brown, with consid- 

 erable gold near the center. Throws several spikes per 

 rhizome, but increases rapidly even so. 



OZONE Each 35c 



A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in 

 standards and falls, with a pronounced copper area through- 

 out the center. Large and of ideal shape, a fine grower. 



PATRICIA 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A very clean and sparkling white, semi-flaring in form, w ith 

 both standards and falls frilled and fluted at the edges 

 Not a giant in size but \ery lovely and a welcome addition 

 where size has been an over-emphasized feature. 



PIUTE 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



One of the most popular of all red irises and surely one ot 

 the nearest to true red. Of medium size and height, it is a 

 self of dark but very bright bronzy maroon red. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET 



Each $5.00 



All that has been said about this gorgeous Sass creation is 

 true, but it simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings 

 of peach, apricot, rose, copper and gold are so w ell done that 

 one is at a loss to describe it in a manner that might be con- 

 ceived in the mind of the listener. A fine big flower, and the 

 color will absolutely stun you when first you see it, and every 

 time you see it! 



PRINCE OF ORANGE 



Each $3.00 



A seedling of Far West and Naranja, produced by Dr. 

 Kleinsorge and introduced in 1940. A solid golden orange, one 

 of the richest things in the garden picture. Flow ers of medium 

 size, very flaring in form, widely spaced along the branching 

 stems.
