HAPPY DAYS Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



A giant of a flower, smooth light yellow 

 in color. Inclined to lush growth and in 

 severe climates should he afforded some 

 protection, but it amply rewards this 

 extra care. For years it has commanded a 

 rather high price, but we can now supply 

 it at a figure any gardener can afford. 



HELEN M. RIEDEL Each $5.00 



Golden yellow standards contrast with 

 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 $5.00 



The lightest blue self in the list. This ins 

 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 introduction of 1^41. 



IDANHA Each $5.00 



Tall new tan and lavender pink intro- 

 duced this year. Fully described on page 4. 



IMPERIAL BLUSH 



Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Tall free flow ering blush pink, reaching 40 

 inches in height. This does not carry any 

 of the yellow influence of most pinks, but 

 a lemon bearti adds an interesting touch. 



ITASCA Each 40c ; 3 for $1.00 



Of the darkest, yet most vivid deep ame- 

 thyst. A rounded bloom of silk-like tex- 

 ture and finish, w ith beard of soft brow n 

 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 will 

 result 



JASMANIA Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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 well balanced in branching with 

 a long season of bloom. A very distinct 

 iris. 



JERRY Each 25c 



A bright ruby red iris of medium size and 

 splendid growing habits. It increases fast 

 and is a heavy bloomer. 



JOYCETTE Each 25c 



.An extra late deep blackish red w ith an 

 undertone of rich mulberry. The stalks 

 are tall and sturdy, the bloom.s practically 

 self colored. 



JUNALASKA Each 50c ; 3 for $1.25 



One of the finest novelties in commerce, a 

 unique blend of red, copper, rose and gold. 

 The effect is copper-red. An early bloomer, 

 very tall and perfectly branched. A 

 runner-up for the Dykes meclal in 1938. 



KALINGA Each 35c 



Huge cream self, outstanding not only as 

 an exhibition spike, but as a garden speci- 

 men as well. The broad spreading ivory- 

 textured blooms generally come out in 

 groups of three or four simultaneously, 

 and each stalk w ill carry from twelve to 

 fifteen blossoms. 



KHORASAN Each 40c 



New blended variegata. with peculiar 

 auburn tinted falls flushed with violet. 

 The standards are dull old gold. Petals are 

 waved at the edges, very heavy in texture. 



LADY PARAMOUNT Each 35c 



A really magnificent flower in clear prim- 

 rose yellow, with firm silken texture. It is 

 one of the most stupendous in size of 

 flower and foliage in our collection. 



LA FERIA Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A unique blend of French grey and laven- 

 der. The flowers are very large, on 3b-inch 

 stems, but it is an iris to be admired at 

 close range rather than for garden effect. 



LANCASTER Each $15.00 



1 he latest triumph from Paul Gouk, in- 

 troduced through the Longfield Iris Farm 

 of Bluffton, Indiana. A copper rose blend, 

 w hich we have not seen, but it is declared 

 to be a genuine prize by all those critics 

 who have. We have only a few rhizomes. 



LATE SUN Each $5.00 



A new yellow that made a hit w hen shown 

 in Massachusetts last season. The b-inch 

 flowers are held on stems that reach 42 

 inches. Golor is an odd shade of deep 

 yellow, with red gold overlay and deep 

 orange beard. From Fred DeForest who 

 introduced Salar. 



LIGHTHOUSE Each 75c 



A very bright rose blend, of bold growing 

 habit with enormous blossoms. In effect 

 an old rose self with a most brilliant cen- 

 ter of yellow and fiery gold. We regard it 

 as one of the best novelties of the past 

 three seasons. See page 1^ 



LOUVOIS Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 



Brown, deep rich and vehety, like the 

 lustrous fur of an animal. The new French 

 sort has been one of the surprises of the 

 past two years. Standards are a decided 

 brown tone, the falls exceedingly dark 

 brow n, edged to match the standards. See 

 page hs, 



MARCO POLO Each 25c 



A beautiful and striking red iris bred by 

 Robert Schreiner in St. Paul. The stan- 

 dards are bright rose, the falls vivid crim- 

 son. Beard is orange yellow and there is 

 no veining at the haft. A lighter and 

 brighter red than Gheerio.
