ORMACO Each $15.00 



1 he first Ormohr seedling released Irom Dr. Kleinsorge s 

 garden. See page 3. 



ORMOHR Each $2.00 ; 3 for $5.00 



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. 



We have never had a single report of failure with this iris, 

 and we have sold it in every part of the United States and 

 in Canada. In 1939 it was awarded an H. M. by the American 

 Iris Society and in 1940 received an Award of Merit. 



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. Shown on page 17. 



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. Very 

 few plants. 



PALE MOONLIGHT Each 35c 



Here is a lighter blue than either Sierra Blue or Shining 

 Waters, but with the same rampant growth and lordly 

 blossoms. Very tall, a uniform pale blue with yellow beard. 



PATRICIA Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 



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

 both standards and falls frilled and fluted at the edges. 

 Not a giant in size but very lovely and a welcome addition 

 where size has been an over-emphasized feature. 



PIUTE Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



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

 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 $10.00 



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 well 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 w hen first you see it, and every 

 time you see it! 



PRINCE OF ORANGE Each $4.00 



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. Flowers of medium 

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

 stems. 



RADIANT Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Standards of burnished golden bronze, falls of glowing copper 

 red, one of the most strikingly brilliant iris obtainable. Of 

 better than average size, well branched, and like Orloff it 

 almost blooms itself to death, but strangely enough it in- 

 creases plentifully and goes ahead to bloom again in the fall 

 occasionally. Shown on page 14. 



REBELLION Each 75c 



Smooth and velvety deep blood red, almost a duplicate of 

 Burning Bronze, except that the coloring is far more vivid. 

 Many richly colored iris spot in heavy rain, but not this one. 



RED GLEAM Each $7.50 



Here is the red iris that actually looks red, and has been 

 declared the nearest approach to scarlet thus far obtained in 

 this flower. It is of good size, of beautiful semi-flaring form, 

 three feet in height, and a free bloomer. Texture is velvety 

 but excitingly brilliant. A Lapham introduction in 1939. 



RHAPSODY Each $1.50 



Like a piece of changeable silk — a symphony in violet purple 

 and brown. Thick substance and velvety surface. One of the 

 last to bloom. 



ROSARIO Each 75c 



Beautiful ochraceous yellow, flushed and overlaid old rose. 

 Might be called tourmaline pink with gold suffusions extend- 

 ing from heart of flower into the falls. Deep yellow beard. 

 Form is broadly flaring, very large in size, finely branched 

 and 40 inches tall. A Thole origination of 1939. 



ROSELAND Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50 



Another top-notcher from David Hall, with buffy rose stan- 

 dards and rich berry red falls edged lighter — a splendid 

 garden effect of bright rose-pink. A giant in size, with 8-inch 

 blossoms, 38-inch stalks. Very late, in the Chicago area it 

 lasts until late June. 



ROSY WINGS Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



inner ol the Dykes medal 1939. A blend of rose and copper 

 with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, 40-inch stems. 

 A profuse bloomer and easy grower. To grow this iris at 

 maximum quality, remove some of the excess bloom stalks, 

 as in the case of Itasca. Do it early and the result will sur- 

 prise you. 



ROYAL COACH Each $1.00 



More yellow than any of the others in this new series of Sass 

 plicatas, with definite brown stitching. Observers opine that 

 this is really a "yellow" plicata. Well formed rounded flowers, 

 on 3-foot stems. 



RUBEO Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



Deep ruby red, a Salbach introduction of several years ago. 

 In California and mild climates this grows to great size and 

 height and is very impressive. In severe climates it some- 

 times has the bloom centers freeze out. 



RUTH POLLOCK Each $7.50 



The Sass Brothers have produced an interesting line of these 

 yellow ground plicatas during the past three seasons, and 

 here, in their own estimation, is the crowning achievement. 

 The flower is near perfection in all details, a soft smooth tone 

 of light yellow, beautifully marked with reddish stitching 

 Few rhizomes. 



SABLE Each $3.00 



Almost black, a uniform shade of deepest blue-black-violet, 

 with blue beard. Sable has every attribute that a fine iris 

 should possess — large size, tall stalks, thick substance and a 

 wonderfully lustrous sheen. F'irst Class Certificate in the 

 Rome, Italy, trials. This iris will really go places. 



SALAR Each $12.50 



Cjiant allair of creamy flesh entirely dominated by an overlay 

 of salmon. A difficult iris to describe, but the color effect is 

 that of salmon, especially when viewed a few feet distant. 

 As large as Happy Days, and of about the same form. 



SANDALWOOD Each 50c 



A new tavvn-brown blend, showing quite a resemblance to 

 our own introduction, Par West. It carries more mauve tones, 

 is a trifle lighter in general effect, slightly ruffled. 



SANDIA Each 30c 



L^right deep pink blend, unusual with a smokey veil. There is 

 considerable yellow in the central portion of the broad falls. 

 A very large and strong growing iris, beautiful in the garden 

 and excellent for exhibition.
