FAR WEST Each 50c ; 3 for $1.25 



One of the loveliest of all blends, a rare medley of salmon 

 and golden sand, of coral and henna, with a soft glow at the 

 heart. It is of bold and sturdy growing habit, the big blooms 

 well spaced on fine stalks reaching 40 inches in height. A 

 great bargain at this price. Show n on page 16. 



FIESTA Each $2.50 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot orange falls, a very ga>- 

 affair! The large ova! blooms are well held on 3-foot stems. 

 From California and a bit tender in severe climates. 



FLORA CAMPBELL Each $4.00 



A new russet red, Etruscan red of Ridgeway, from H. M. Hill 

 of Lafontaine, Kansas. Without prior fanfare this newcomer 

 last year turned out to be one of the iris nuggets of 1940. 

 A coppery red on the order of E. li. Williamson, smooth and 

 velvety, with fiery brilliance. 



FLORENTINE Each $3.00 



A plicata that is really different! The white ground color is 

 entirely dotted with soft blue, with such an overall effect 

 that the flower seems quite submerged in flaky blue dust. 

 Enormous in size, with good branching. I-rom Cayeu.x, 



FORTUNE Each $7.50 



The giant old gold which we introduced last season. See 

 page 4. 



FRANK ADAMS Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



A tall and very well proportioned large new iris with rosy 

 tan standards and rosy red falls. Produced by E. G. Eapham, 

 of Elkhart, Indiana. Flowers, stalk and foliage are of un- 

 usually large size. 



GALLANT LEADER Each $2.50 



liroad and well arched standards of deep rose red, falls of 

 velvety maroon touched with coppery gold at the haft. A 

 new iris that recalls the old but fine Depute Nomblot. It 

 received an H. M. of the A. I S. in 1Q39. 



GARDEN MAGIC Each $1.50 



.A magnificent deep, glowing, velvety red. f-'or the past two 

 or three years this has been generally recognized as the finest 

 red in existence. The new Red Gleam is of a lighter tone, 

 not quite so large, and a nearer approach to true red. Garden 

 Magic is quite late, tall, a big blossom, and wonderfully rich 

 without haft markings. 



GLORIOLE Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



An iris of huge size with pale blue petals overlaid with frosty 

 crystal-like particles. Wonderfully well formed and a noble 

 flower. Height 40 inches. Color sometimes called "ice blue." 



GLOWPORT Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Solidl> colored glowing wine red, devoid of haft markings, 

 with bronze yellow beard. Introduced in 193^ on its merit as 

 an exceptional red iris, it has now proven to be a most 

 reliable fall bloomer in \ arious parts of the country. Tall and 

 well branched. 



GOLDEN AMBER Each $1.50 



The name well describes the flower — a soft amber yellow, 

 overlaid w ith old gold. The orange beard livens it up. One of 

 Miss Sturtevant's comparatively recent ones. 



GOLDEN FLEECE Each $25.00 



Since the reader might suppose from the name that this iris 

 is another deep yellow, we call special attention to the fact 

 that it is actually a lemon-colored flower, with creamy falls 

 edged gold — wholly unlike any other yellow iris. It is beau- 

 tifully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. At Nash- 

 ville, during the A.I.S. meeting in 1941, it stood out as one 

 of the most noteworthy of all new introductions. A Sass 

 production released in 1940, 



GOLDEN HELMET Each 35c 



A huge King Tut, with very ruffled standards and oxblooci 

 red falls, waved at tips. Velvety texture, a rich bit of color. 



GOLDEN HIND Each 35c 



No yellow iris in commerce contains the rich deep buttercup 

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

 gives 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. See page 17. 



GOLDEN MADONNA Each $5.00 



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 $2.50 ; 3 for $6.50 



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 lour 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 $15.00 



/\long with Spun Gold and one or tv,o 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 standarcis, 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 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



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. Shown in color on page 18. 



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 flower is of different 

 shape and a bit earlier. 



GRAND CANYON Each $6.00 



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 he 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. Shown on page 20. 



GREAT LAKES Each $2.00 ; 3 for $5.00 



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.M.A. I.S. 

 1939. A. M. 1940. 



GUDRUN .- Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Hea\ ily 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.
