MODISTE Each $2.00 



A beautiful self of pale mauve, much different 

 from other pale blues and lavenders now avail- 

 able. In color it is similar to the old and lovely 

 "Mile, Schwartz," but MODISTE is a flower of 

 broad hafts, full rounded shape, and ideal grow- 

 ing habits. Stems are heavy, well branched, and 

 around 40 inches tall. Shown in color on page 4. 



MOHRSON Each 50c 



A deep violet colored seedling of Wm. Mohr, with 

 darker veins and a rich bronzy gold beard. Here 

 is a spectacular flower, one of the very largest, 

 ruffled and crinkled. 



MONADNOCK Each $2.00 



Tall and stately, a bright rose-red self, with 

 flaring falls and smooth finish. A seedling of 

 Marquita, quite late, over 40 inches in height. 



MOONGLO Each 35c 



Distinct and very large yellow blend from the 

 Williamsons. A smooth and pleasing color that 

 has made this iris popular ever since it was 

 introduced. 



MOROCCO ROSE 



Each $2.00 



Very large rose-pink self, with soft yellow glow 

 at the heart and brownish cast about the haft. 

 We believe it to be the nearest to genuine pink 

 of any iris in this catalog. Unlike most iris of this 

 color, Morocco Rose is a really big flower. 



MOUNTAIN SUNSET 



Each 35c 



An indescribable medley ot fawn and old gold 

 equally suffused in the standards, and the falls 

 entirely overlaid with varying shades of violet. 

 Novel in shape as well as in color; a blend of 

 pastel tints that invites close inspection. Very 

 late, medium in size, 30 inches tall. 



MRS. SILAS WATERS Each $1.00 



Huge primrose yellow self, standards and tails 

 practically the same shade, cream haft. Three 

 feet and over in height. 



MRS. WILLARD JACQUES $1.00 



This is a more deeply colored flower than Noweta, 

 which it resembles in type. It has, however, an 

 overtone of buffy apricot, setting it apart from 

 other pinks. Also, it is a very large flower, with 

 rather long falls and pronounced crinkling. 



MT. WASHINGTON 



Each $4.00 



A giant white with the lorm ol Shining Waters. 

 Very tall, wide at the hafts, and broadly flaring, 

 it ranks with the leaders among the new whites. 



NARAIN Each 50c 



A silky intense indigo blue, with blue beard on a 

 cream throat but without veinings. Rather early, 

 with immense foliage and very large flowers. One 

 of the best blues at any price. 



NARANJA Each 50c 



The first iris of huge size with a definite orange 

 tone. Falls are ochraceous orange, with a yellow 

 heart, and the standards are bright empire 

 yellow, the beard orange yellow. It gives a pro- 

 nounced orange effect in the garden. 



NEON Each 25c 



Bronzy gold standards, falls bright and velvety 

 carmine red, rich and glowing. The beard is a 

 fiery golden orange. When well grown this is a 

 magnificent iris. 



NOWETA Each 25c ; 3 for 50c 



The fluffy ruffled pink that continues in great 

 demand, despite the influx of newer and larger 

 flowers in this shade. Free blooming, medium in 

 size and height, it is unbeatable as a garden 

 subject. 



OLD PARCHMENT Each $7.50 



A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay, a 

 most unusual color break and a distinctly beau- 

 tiful new iris. Standards are domed and closed, 

 falls flaring and rather tailored in appearance. 

 A perfectly huge bloom, heavy of substance, and 

 the longest lasting variety in our garden. A Klein- 

 sorge introduction of 1Q3Q that we consider the 

 most outstanding recent iris next to Prairie 

 Sunset. 



ORMOHR Each $3 ; 3 for $7.50 



Shown on the back cover. One of the largest irises 

 in existence, and especially noteworthy because it 

 is a seedling oi Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches 

 in height, with several great blooms on well 

 branched stems. Perfectly hardy and a producer 

 of seed and a new race of seedlings. The color is 

 pale lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. 



We have never had a single report of failure 

 with this iris, and we have sold it in every part of 

 the United States and in Canada. In l'^39 it was 

 awarded an H. M. by the American Iris Society 

 and last year received an Award of Merit, making 

 it an eligible candidate for the Dykes Medal this 

 year. 



OZONE Each 75c 



A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the 

 same in standards and falls, with a pronounced 

 copper area throughout the center. Large and of 

 ideal shape, a fine grower. Very few plants. 



PALE MOONLIGHT 



Each 40c 



Here is a lighter blue than either Sierra Blue or 

 Shining Waters, but with the same rampant 

 growth and lordly blossoms. Very tall, a uniform 

 pale blue with yellow beard. 



PATRICIA 



Each $5.00 



.A very clean and sparkling white, semi-flaring in 

 form, with both standards and falls frilled and 

 fluted at the edges. Not a giant in size but very 

 lovely and a welcome addition where size has 

 been an over-emphasized feature. 



PINK OPAL 



Each 25c ; 3 for 50c 



Tall orchid pink, very clean and waxy with a 

 multitude of large flowers. Beautiful individually 

 or for its garden value. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET Each $12.50 



All that has been said about this gorgeous Sass 

 creation is true, but it simply has to be seen to 

 be realized. The blendings of peach, apricot, rose, 

 copper and gold are so well done that one is at a 

 loss to describe it in a manner that might be 

 conceived in the mind of the listener. A fine big 

 flower, and the color will absolutely stun you 

 when first you see it, and every time you see it! 



PRINCE OF ORANGE Each $7.50 



,\ seedling of Far West and Naranja, produced 

 by Dr. Kleinsorge and introduced in 1Q40. A solid 

 golden orange, one of the richest things in the 

 garden picture. Flowers of medium size, very 

 flaring in form, widely spaced along the branch- 

 ing stems. Very few plants. 



RADIANT Each $1.50 



Standards of burnished golden bronze, falls of 

 glowing copper red, one of the most strikingly 

 brilliant iris obtainable. Of better than average 

 size, well branched, and like Orloff it almost 

 blooms itself to death, but strangely enough it 

 increases plentifully and goes ahead to bloom 

 again in the fall occasionally. Shown on page 15. 



REBELLION Each $1.00 



Smooth and velvety deep blood red, almost a 

 duplicate of Burning Bronze, except that the 

 coloring is far more vivid. Many richly colored 

 iris spot in heavy rain, but not this one. 



RED CROSS 



Each 50c 



A rather bizarre contrast of bright rose-red and 

 white. It is almost an exact counterpart of Mary 

 Geddes in markings and type, but instead of an 

 orange or salmon cast this one appears as rose red. 



RED GLEAM Each $12.00 



Here is the red iris that actually looks red, and 

 has been declared the nearest approach to scarlet 

 thus far obtained in this flower. It is of good size, 

 of beautiful semi-flaring form, three feet in 

 height, and a free bloomer. Texture is velvety 

 but excitingly brilliant. Limited stock. A Lapham 

 introduction in 1Q3'5. 



RED RADIANCE 35c ; 3 for 75c 



Uniform deep red, a different shade than most 

 other so-called reds. Heavy bloomer and fast 

 increaser.
