Solid Gold 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $3.50 



Of bold stature and splendid form, this is one of the most striking new- 

 comers in an old color class that welcomes such improvements. Deep but 

 bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in texture, without haft 

 markings. It has wide-spreading falls and 3-foot stems. A good picture 

 of it on page 20. HM AIS, 1943. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, 1946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada, one of the most richly colored 

 seedlings we have ever grown. The standards and falls are almost identical 

 in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them appear slightly deeper. 

 Scarcely any haft markings — a supreme shade of glowing bronzy red- 

 purple with bronze beard. 33 inches tall. Shown on page 27. HM 

 AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. 



VOODOO (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $2.50 



A ver^' dark combination of rich chocolate-brown standards and black- 

 ish red-brown falls, the entire flower crimped and ruffled at the edges. 

 The broad falls are held stiffly horizontal and the wide standards appear 

 close together and erect. Average size, medium height. A very rich piece 

 of color and an abundant bloomer. It is a sister seedling of Pretty 

 Quadroon. Illustrated on page 44. 



WABASH (Williamson, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered white 

 — the most striking amoena of all. Very tall, branched above the middle 

 hi the stalk with a profusion of large, slightly ruffled blossoms. The color 

 plate on page 31 shows this popular Iris in perfect detail. HM AIS, 

 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the Dykes Medal in 1940. 



WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Large glistening white with domed standards. Both the standards and 

 falls are slightly ruffled, the latter arched and flaring. 40 inches tall, a 

 vigorous grower. HM AIS, 1936.
