NATIONAL WHITE (Weed, 7944; Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A spectacular pure white Iris that is a giant in every way. The huge 

 flowers have extra broad falls, well shaped, and the widely branched 

 stalks reach over four feet in height. One of the very best new whites 

 and it will make a good run for largest bloom in any show. 



NEW SNOW (Fay, 1946) Each $2.50 



A white Iris which is neither warm nor a cold white but is as white as 

 new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great deal of 

 life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft veinings or 

 markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches tall, the big 

 flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the world's best white 

 Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. See page 18. 



OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here is 

 one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and in addi- 

 tion it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely branched, 36- 

 inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. HM AIS, 1943; 

 AM, 1945; Dykes Medal, 1948. See page 28. 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the haft. 

 Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is its real distinc- 

 tive feature. It is oval, with standards closed and swirled at the top; 

 the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, the effect is 

 of a huge yellow rosebud. Very late, high branched and tall — most 

 effective in back of a planting. HM AIS, 1950. See page 45. 



PATRICE (Deforest, 1945) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



New white plicata which we like very much and which we regard as 

 different from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed 

 pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright gold across the 

 haft which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very brilliant. 

 Tall and large, with all good points. HM AIS, 1946. See page 26. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A pinkish plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in color plate. 

 This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying power" and its pinki- 

 ness accents any spot where it is planted. Oval-shaped blooms on tall 

 stems, nicely branched. Rapid increaser. See color plate on page 31. 



OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, 1939) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color break 

 and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and closed; 

 falls wide and rather tailored in appearance. A perfectly huge bloom, 

 heavy substance, and the longest lasting variety in our gardens. HM AIS, 

 1940; AM, 1941. See page 34. 



OPAL CLOUD, (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A huge blend of pinkish opalescent tints. Not a pink Iris, but a harmony 

 of pearl and opal and soft old rose with coppery shading near the border 

 of the falls. This copper suffusion is present near the hafts and the crests 

 are copper colored. The over-all effect is a sort of terra-cotta-pink with 

 violet suffusions. Cascade Splendor crossed with Daybreak. 42 inches tall 

 and very well branched. 



ORANGEMAN (Wafers, 1946) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A lovely huge orange self with a touch of deeper orange at the haft. The 

 flower has a wonderfully smooth, well groomed look; the coloring is 

 even and rich. The tall stems. 40 inches high, are very well branched. 

 An outstanding Iris in a much sought after color. HM AIS, 1947. 



ORELIO (Deforest, 1947) Each $2.50 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa Morena 

 crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as to the color 

 of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1948. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



One of the largest Irises in existence and especially noteworthy because 

 it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, with several 

 great blooms on well-branched stalks. The color is pale lilac with a 

 silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when first opening and in dull weather. 

 HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



PACEMAKER (Lapham, 1950) Each $7.50 



Possibly the best red Iris of all. Greig Lapham, the originator, has spent 

 a score of years breeding reds and this is the finest one we have ever 

 grown. The color is uniform in standards and falls, without veins on 

 the haft ; a warm red tone, on the orange rather than the purple or wine 

 side. The rich beard is bronzy gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. 



PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas, 1948) Each $2.50 



Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tangerine-red beard. The 

 rounded falls are bordered pink, like the standards. Tall, slender stems 

 but the flowers are of great size. A good contrast with the "Flamingo- 

 Pinks". 



PALOMINO (Hall, 1952) Each $20.00 



Related to the pinks — it is a seedling of Hi-Time — the only suggestion 

 of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber-cop- 

 per shoulder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire, 

 rich, redder and more dominant than the illustration on page 42, al- 

 though this is really a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size, 

 form, substance, branching and truly marvelous color this is indeed su- 

 preme. (Seedling No. 49-26). Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952. 



PEACH MERINGUE (Schreiner, 1951) Each $5.00 



Melting golden tan like a heavily frosted lemon pie fresh from the oven. 

 The whole flower carries a soft undertone of pink and the beard is tan- 

 gerine-red. Extra large, the falls broad and flaring; it produces a wealth 

 of bloom on 3-foot stems. 



PEG DEB AG H (Craig, 1948) Each $5.00 



A large derivative of Wm. Mohr borne on 45-50 inch stems when well 

 grown. The full globe-shaped flowers are immense, with broad segments, 

 a clear blue-violet in color. One of the best of Mohr Hybrids with 

 typically oncocyclus traits. 



PERMANENT WAVE (Williams, 1948) Each $5.00 



Sweet lavender shading to blue with golden brown hafts and a metallic 

 luster. The falls flare out stiffly horizontal, they are full and rounded in 

 shape and possess the heaviest texture of any Iris we grow. Beard is 

 yellow and there is a yellow glow at the center. 40 inches, extra late, 

 and different. 



PIERRE MENARD (Fought, 1948) Each $7.50 



Finest of the new medium toned blues. The introducer calls it a Hyacinth- 

 blue, with some of the fine netting in slightly deeper shade that distin- 

 guishes Great Lakes. Beard is canary-yellow. Very flaring in form, large 

 with broad segments, 36 to 40 inches tall. A very, very late Iris. HM AIS, 

 1948; AM, 1950. Shown on page 38. 



PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook, 1949) Each $5.00 



Selected as the largest and best of all the orchid-pinks raised by Paul 

 Cook. Large, perfectly formed flowers with broad petals, smooth satiny 

 texture and very heavy substance. Not to be compared with the flamingo- 

 pinks, it approaches this color from the orchid side and is in the range 

 of Harriet Thoreau and Dreamcastle. Husky in growth and extremely 

 floriferous, 38 to 40 inches tall. A very beautiful Iris! HM AIS. 1951. 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks — a true pink devoid of violet 

 influence — the kind of pink Iris we have all been wishing to see. Color 

 is described as pale cameo-pink, a self, with a startling tangerine beard, 

 like a tongue of flame on the hafts. An Iris of good size, 3 feet in height. 

 HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. See page 19. 



PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $10.00 



A new deep pink which is conceded to be sensational. It is large in size 

 and very tall, with red-tangerine beard. Very few plants for sale. HM 

 AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



PINK PLUME (Schreiner, 1951) Each $7.50 



A self colored orchid-pink, large, lighter and more pink than Dream- 

 castle, which it somewhat resembles. Because of its clean color and extra 

 "carrying power", we think it is one of the best introductions of the 

 past few season. Height 3 feet. Limited stock. HM AIS, 1952. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $1.00 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike anything 

 else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and clean cut 

 flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard is lemon. 

 Height 3 feet; very late. HM AIS. 1942; AM. 1944.
