TOKEN Each $10.00 



One of the new Hall seedlings, a Mary Geddes 

 garden effect, but smoother and otherwise finer. See 

 page 10. 



TREASURE ISLAND Each $7.50; 3 for $18.00 



A truly gigantic flower of bright, clear, rich yel- 

 low. Tall stems, not a trace of Dykes blood in its 

 parentage, hardiness beyond question. Treasure 

 Island is the nearest to ideal of any of the new yel- 

 lows we have seen, because there is neither the tell- 

 tale purple flecking which eventually crops out in 

 those of the Dykes strain, nor the oftimes tender con- 

 stitution accompanying them. Still other fine new 

 golden hued introductions possess a suffusion of olive 

 on the haft, but not so with this one. The illustration 

 on page 34 is an exact reproduction in every detail 

 except size, which is reduced to fit the page. 



VISION Each $1.50 



There are many variegata blends, such as El 

 Tovar and Crown Prince, which contain much brown 

 and deep orange, and which are magnificent iris. 

 But Vision carries no blending of tones whatsoever, a 

 contrast of brightest clean yellow standards and very 

 velvety red-brown falls, margined yellow. 



WABASH Each $5.00 



A new iris so far in advance of others of similar 

 color combination that they are simply not in the 

 race. With clean white 'standards and bright purple 

 falls, it might have been called "Elk's Temple", so 

 well does it call to mind the colors of that well known 

 fraternal organization. The flowers are large and are 

 borne on well branched stalks reaching almost forty 

 inches in height. 



TUSCALOOSA Each $ 1 0.00 



A larger and taller Shirvan, almost identical in 

 color. We saw this at least three feet tall in Nashville, 

 splendidly branched and with large blossoms. A Col. 

 Nicholls seedling, introduced by his son, Jesse. 



UKIAH Each $1.25; 3 for $3.00 



A tall deep velvety brown iris, along the lines of 

 Mrs. Valerie West. Of great size and perfect form, 

 with sturdy stalks and broad foliage. 



VALIANT Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A blend of old gold and violet blue, the standards 

 especially fine. The haft is brilliant gold, balance of 

 the falls wistaria violet. Bright orange beard. From a 

 cross made in Mr. Mitchell's California garden by 

 Miss Sturtevant. 



VENUS DE MILO Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



This pure white, of a warm creamy tone, is now 

 generally accepted throughout the nation as the very 

 finest, all-round, most dependable under all condi- 

 tions, of any white iris that grows. Last season our 

 large stock of many hundreds of rhizomes was sold 

 out, and because of so much favorable comment we 

 anticipate a heavy call for it again this summer. One 

 of the greatest successes from Dr. Ayres, of Cincin- 

 nati. A. M. AIS 1935. Runner-up for the Dykes Medal, 

 1936. 



VERT-GALANT Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Brilliant coppery red, with copper-fawn standards. 

 A giant sort that has the habit of putting up from two 

 to four huge stalks from each rhizome. The falls are 

 edged with the lighter fawn color of the standards, 

 and the haft is beautifully marked with cream and 

 brown. This variety is not only a striking exhibition 

 flower, but it has extra good carrying quality, and 

 the four-foot spikes dominate the garden. Another 

 Dykes Medal winner. 



VICTORY Each $10.00 



Huge violet purple, in style and color quite unlike 

 other purple iris. See page 1 1. 



WASATCH Each $2.50; 3 for $6.00 



The largest plicata and one of the largest of all iris. 

 Of the San Francisco type, with very broad falls and 

 heavy substance. Color is clear white, with blue 

 stitching on the haft. 



WAVERLY Each $10.00 



A 40-inch clear light blue, highly commended by 

 all judges who have seen it. Originated by Tom 

 Williams, of Nashville, Tenn. Some friends have 

 advised us that this is the bluest one yet, but we have 

 not flowered it as the catalog is written. 



WINNESHIEK Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



A gigantic blue-black, ruffled, and with a pearly 

 edge on the falls. Here is an iris which suddenly 

 sprang into prominence when it was exhibited in 

 Lincoln, Nebraska, at the American Iris Society meet- 

 ing four years ago. Every critic fell for its unusual 

 style, broad segments and rich color — and so will 

 you! See page 23. 



WM. MOHR Each 25c; 5 for $1.00 



This strange and beautiful hybrid is named for 

 one of the world's most famous hybridizers, and is 

 considered as his greatest piece of work. The entire 

 bloom is a self color of pale lilac, closely netted and 

 veined with deep violet, producing a weird, yet very 

 lovely effect. In some ways it resembles the variety 

 "Susiana", but lacks the dullness of this older sort, 

 and is not at all difficult to grow. A monster flower, 

 produced on stems up to 30 inches tall. 



WOT AN Each $1.00 



Here is the darkest, richest, and largest, of all the 

 very deep blends. The velvety purple-brown texture 

 extends clear into the throat, and were it not for the 

 somewhat short stem, we would be inclined to rank 

 this ahead of any dark iris that grows. However, the 

 foliage is very bold and the stalks are heavy and in 

 keeping with the size of the blooms. Height is the 

 sole limitation — about 28 inches.
