GUDRUN 



EL TOVAR Each $1.50 



A gorgeous variegata blend, in rich brown-yellow 

 and blackish maroon, with a yellow glow at the heart. 

 This iris is one of the foremost of all new introduc- 

 tions of the past three years, having been awarded 

 an H. M. of the AIS in 1932 when first exhibited. 

 Nothing like it. Height 3 feet. 



EROS Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Very tall salmon colored self, possibly the nearest 

 to this color ideal that has ever been offered. The 

 throat is lit with gold, giving it a brilliance and 

 warmth especially telling in garden effect. 



ETHEL PECKHAM Each $1.25; 3 for $3.00 



Large, perfectly formed flowers of a blazing red- 

 dish tone. This iris, placed on the market in 1932, 

 has enjoyed tremendous popularity. The color is 

 extremely bright, nearly a uniform shade in stan- 

 dards and falls. It boasts every good point in grow- 

 ing habit, and in addition usually throws up occa- 

 sional stalks throughout the summer and fall! 



ETHEL WYN DUBUAR Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A new outstanding pink, produced by E. G. Lap- 

 ham, of Elkhart, Indiana, and introduced in 1933. A 

 heavy flowering variety, it evoked the following com- 

 ments in the AIS Bulletin for October, 1933: "The 

 largest flower of any pink I have seen. A 'best seller' 

 in my garden. A larger flower than Pink Satin." 

 Deep pink in general effect, with lemon beard. Height 

 3 feet. See page 39. 



ETHIOP QUEEN Each $15.00 



We hear a lot about "black" irises; this is surely a 

 near approach, with standards of deep blackish violet 

 and falls practically coal black. The substance is 

 extra heavy and velvety, with a glistening sheen. 

 Medium in size, 30-36 inches tall, well branched. 

 Schreiner's own seedling, introduced in 1938. 



EUPHONY Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



The standards are mustard yellow, waved and 

 fluted, stained with light brown at the tips. Falls 

 are squarely held, mustard yellow, flushed with 

 blue in the central portion and overlaid soft brown. 

 This is a lovely and bright color harmony, and the 

 great freedom of bloom of this variety makes it a 

 heavy favorite. See color reproduction on page 23. 



EVELYN PULLAR Each $10.00 



A new departure in tall bearded iris, one which 

 begins blooming in late fall and continues throughout 

 the winter. Full account on page 40. 



FAIR ELAINE Each $25.00 



Selected by us as Salbach's finest new introduc- 

 tion last year. Yellows are now plentiful, but this one 

 is distinct and beautiful in its own right. Standards 

 are almost cream, the falls an emphatic brilliant yel- 

 low. The whole is enlivened by a vivid orange beard. 

 A real color break and a lovely iris. Height 40 inches. 



FAR WEST (Kleinsorge. 1936) Each $6.00; 3 for $15.00 



Shown on page 19, a warm and mellow blend of 

 salmon and golden sand, of coral and henna, with 

 a soft glow at the heart. Originated in the West, and 

 containing that multitude of tints seen in the western 

 sky at sundown. Of bold and sturdy growing habit, 

 the big blooms are well spaced on fine stalks reach- 

 ing 40 inches in height. 



The likeness of this flower is achieved by a new 

 process and we guarantee its absolute accuracy, 

 although some reduction in size was necessary. 



FIESTA Each $6.00 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot-orange falls, 

 a very gay affair! The large oval blooms are well 

 held on 3-foot stalks. Here it seems a bit too lush in 

 growth to flower consistently, so we do not recom- 

 mend it for moist climates. In California and similar 

 climatic sections it is excellent. 



FRIEDA MOHR Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



Dependable anywhere, despite the fact that it was 

 originated in California and contains tender blood, 

 it is perfectly at home in Ohio, Minnesota, and New 

 England, as well as in the moist climate of the Pacific 

 Northwest. The color is a lively shade of violet-pink, 

 standards slightly lighter than the falls. Its huge 

 size and great height make it a leader in any color 

 class. See color illustration on page 23.
