SNOOUALMIE 



Each $1.00 



THE BISHOP 



Each $1.00 



Good cream toned irises are becoming very popular and here 

 we have one of the very best. Of thick and leathery texture, 

 large in size and with flaring falls, the color is an even deep 

 cream. Very tall and a fine iris in every way. 



SNOW FLURRY Sold Out 



Well named pure white, the large blooms produced in un- 

 believable numbers per stalk. Individual blooms are huge 

 and of a ruffled appearance. Very few rhizomes. 



A smooth and even toned rich purple self, with very intense 

 coloring. This iris is just coming into popularity, having 

 earned its way without fanfare. 



THE BLACK DOUGLAS Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Large blackish purple of even tone, different in its "black" 

 effect as compared to Black Wings in that it is on the red- 

 purple side instead of being blue-purple, as in the case of the 

 latter. Medium height, fine form, and very velvety surface. 



SNOWKING Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



Regal in bearing, with broadly flaring great white blossoms, 

 lit with gold at the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and 

 strong in growing habit. 3 feet tall. A wonderful and thor- 

 oughly hardy white from the Sasses. 



SOUTHERN PACIFIC 



Each $10.00 



A new giant clear blue, on the lavender side. This huge iris 

 was introduced by W\ E. Taylor of Amity. Oregon. It is free 

 blooming and is one of the largest irises w e have e\ er seen. 

 It is shapely and refined without the coarseness of so many 

 other large iris blossoms. 



SPOKAN 



Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



A solidly colored deep chestnut red, of great size — one of the 

 very largest — with an odd coppery suffusion throughout. 

 The standards are of a brownish tone, and the center is highly 

 lighted with gold. At this price you should not defer having 

 It in your collection. 



SPRING IDYL 



Each $1.50 



Milk white shading into orchid pink, the pink very pro- 

 nounced at the top of the standards and the bottom of the 

 falls. Beard lemon. The stems are tall and wiry, the blossoms 

 amply spaced. This iris is a very delicate affair, giving a sort 

 of apple blossom effect in the garden. It provides a remark- 

 ably pink note, a truly lovely new thing from E. G. Lapham, 

 of Elkhart, Indiana. 



SPUN GOLD Each $10.00 



Perhaps the most famous yellow iris ever introduced. It has 

 all of the desired qualities of size, good branching, tall stems 

 and rich solid yellow color. We regard it as one of the three 

 finest vellows now available. 



STAINED GLASS Each $1.25 ; 3 for $3.00 



A copper-red self, one of the most brilliant iris we have ever 

 seen when viewed with the sun behind it. In such a light it 

 resembles nothing quite so much as stained glass . . . rich, 

 glowing, almost aflame! Make no mistake, this is not a red 

 iris, but a solid copper of a reddish tone, the same all over 

 except for the bronze yellow beard. From Dr. Wilhelm, of 

 Chicago, for whom we introduced it. 



THE RED DOUGLAS (Dykes Medal 1941) Each $1.00 



Possibly more glamour was attached to the introduction of 

 this variety than any iris in recent years. Simply colossal in 

 size, as smooth and heavy as a piece of richest plush. It is 

 deep rosy-wine-red, solid at the haft, with a brownish cast 

 near the center, beard rich orange. It is not the reddest iris 

 by any means, but the coloring is gorgeously rich and deep, 

 and most critics agree that it ranks as one of the ten best iris 

 in commerce. 



THREE SISTERS Each $10.00 



The first iris of this color type that has been introduced in 

 many seasons. The standards are pale cream and in sunny 

 weather are almost white. The falls are red violet, and 

 decidedly red when contrasted w ith the lighter colors of the 

 standards. Sometimes described as a red and white combina- 

 tion. It is actually neither red nor white, but does have 

 such a garden effect. 



TIFFANY 



Each 75c 



The third member of that great Sass plicata trio, the others 

 being Orloff and Siegfried. It is soft yellow in color, with 

 stitchings of bronzy-pinkish-violet, if you can imagine such 

 a combination. Less formal in appearance than Siegfried, and 

 gives a yellow rather than a creamy-tan garden effect. Very 

 large, ruffled, vigorous growing and reasonably tall. 



TOBACCO ROAD Each $ 1 7 . 50 



When this iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge s garden, it was 

 so different, so remarkable in both color and form, that we 

 lost all interest in the many other splendid seedlings in the 

 same garden. 



You have seen or read about brown irises before. Many 

 of them are basically deep crimson-purple, or dirty lifeless 

 blends. Some of them are fine irises, such as Louvois, or 

 Brown Thrasher. But these are on the very dark side. 

 TOBACCO RO.^D is a golden tobacco brown. Standards 

 are upright and almost closed, with heavy mid-ribs. The 

 falls are broad, very wide at the center and held stiffl>' 

 horizontal. Height three feet or possibly a little less, with 

 very good branching. Flowers are large to very large, but not 

 gigantic. This unique iris does not have a single weak point 

 and we recommend it with all the enthusiasm we can muster. 



STELLAR POLARIS Each $5.00 



A very large and superior creamy white, w ith heavy almost 

 velvety surface. Stems have four-way branching and reach 

 42 inches, .'\nother of the set of fine Kenneth Smith varieties. 



SWEET ALIBI Each 50c 



Deep cream with an inw ard glow of green, a very large flower 

 and vigorous grower. From California, it has proven reliable 

 in the mid-West and East. 



TOKEN Each $1.00 



Many qualified critics have seen this new iris and the usual 

 pronouncement is "a glorified Mary Geddes." Carrying much 

 of the same salmony-orange-brown blended effect. Token is 

 a far finer individual flower — larger, of better form, and 

 w ith smoothly colored falls. Standards are old gold flushed 

 rose, falls rosy brown-red, with very little haft venation. It 

 does not fade and is a husky grower. 38 inches tall, with 

 blooms having a 7-inch spread. A 1939 introduction from 

 David Hall, of Chicago.
