JAKE (Long-Sass, '43) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A white-white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow 

 near the center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an 

 easy grower. Stands right up alongside many more expensive new 

 whites. 



JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, '50) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A new light blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of 

 which it is a seedling. It resembles its famous parent in form and 

 size but because it carries more color it is distinct and worthy in its 

 own right. We have seen no Iris which appears nearer true blue. 

 HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. See page 8. 



JAVA JEWEL CDeForesf, '51 ; Each $3.00 



Bright "old gold," with size, form and substance. A smooth, irides- 

 cent golden tan with greenish hue. Different from the other tan- 

 browns. 



JULIET (Kleinsorge, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



We think that this is one of the most colorful and fiery blends that 

 we have seen. It is a sort of flame-copper, with salmon shadings, and 

 the beards and central areas are a mass of brilliant burnt orange. 

 Large flowers, the standards upright and well closed, the falls broad 

 and distinctly flaring. Increases fast and makes a gorgeous clump. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



JUNE BRIDE (Hall, '52) Each $5.00 



The picture on page 18 is not quite right for this luscious, mouth- 

 watering, deep apricot-pink with the heavy geranium-red beard. It 

 is much more pink and less buff tinted than the color plate indicates. 

 Such delectable shades are associated with Tuberous Begonias and 

 Gladioli but we have never seen them in any Iris. Large flower, 

 horizontal falls, 30 inches in height. HM AIS, 1952. 



KEENE VALLEY (K. Smifb, '49) Each $2.50 



Slightly deeper blue and much smoother than its sister, Blue Valley. 

 Wide petals which flare out and are gracefully ruffled. 40 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1950. 



KEZAR LAKE fKnow/fon, '5i; Each $3.50 



A decidedly blue Iris. A seedling of Great Lakes, with clearer color, 

 much less of the conspicuous veining but with the otherwise good 

 features of size, form and color that have made the parent one of 

 the greatest Iris of all time. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1951. 



LADDIE (Miess, '51) Each $3.00 



"Damson" blue, infused with cocoa at the haft— an unusual and 

 quite different Iris in the blue class. Under certain lights the flowers 

 appear to be more silver than blue. Standards are domed, the falls 

 flaring and slightly ruffled. HM AIS. 1951. 



LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Alabaster white perfection in color and form, slightly waved and 

 ruffled. The 4-foot stems are magnificently branched, usually bring- 

 ing out three of the huge blossoms at a time. The light yellow 

 beard does not contrast with the pure white effect. HM AIS, 1946; 

 AM, 1948. 



LADY MOHR (Salbach, '44) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. 

 Mohr family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously 

 unknown in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, 

 huge and slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale char- 

 treuse or greenish yellow, with prominent veining. There is a very 

 prominent dark patch surrounding the beard. HM AIS. 1944; 

 .AM, 1946. Shown on page 36. 



LAKE BREEZE (Fay, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Delightful light blue-lavender, with lots of ruffling on squarely held 

 falls. There are no markings on the wide hafts. Large and free 

 blooming. HM AIS, 1945. 



LAKE TEHAY A (Miess, '50) Each $1.25 



A vigorous and floriferous plant with lush foliage and very blue 

 flowers set with an intense yellow beard. Form is flaring to hori- 

 zontal with closed standards. 42 inches, well branched. Recom- 

 mended for California and the South. HM AIS, 1950. 



LAVANESQUE (Schreiner, '53) Each $9.00 



A winsomely ruffled improvement on Pink Plume. Color is an even 

 shade of delicate orchid-pink, the very broad petals nicely ruffled, 

 the beard and hafts rich gold. This is a very full-bodied flower in 

 all its parts . . . possibly the very finest of all the orchid or lilac- 

 pinks. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 19.55. 



LAVENDER & GOLD LACE (Whiting, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A charmingly different Iris with golden yellow standards flushed 

 lavender and with crimped edges. Falls are lavender bordered vnth 

 a distinct frill of gold lace work. Strong, hardy plants producing 

 generous bloom and increase. 3 feet. 



LEADING LADY (Lyell, '50) Each $2.00 



A perky and lightly ruffled flower with bright pale yellow standards 

 and creamy white falls edged yellow. A great favorite with all 

 visitors as it makes a stunning clump. HM AIS. 1950; AM, 1954. 

 Pictured on page 12. 



BLACK CASTLE 



LILAC LANE (Whiting, '47) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Pink-toned lilac self, not a pink but a very delicate mauve color of 

 heavy substance. Beard is very pale yellow. There are few, if any, 

 modern Iris which resemble this one in color tone. We regard it as 

 one of the loveliest new things and among Mrs. Whiting's best. 

 Slightly ruffled, very refined in effect, 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948; 

 AM, 1951. See page 8. 



LIMELIGHT fHo//, '52; Each $5.00 



A canary-yellow to greenish yellow Chantilly, very much larger 

 than that famous ruffled and frilled member of the pink strain. 

 It is a Sunray seedling, all yellow with a lighter area on the falls. 

 One of the most novel Iris we have ever grown and one of the 

 most beautiful as well. The lace-like blossoms are produced on 

 35-inch stems. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 18. 



LANTANA CDeForesf, '54; Each $10.00 



Very brilliant golden tan, flushed with hues of bright violet and 

 blue. As colorful as a Golden Pheasant and, in fact, this would 

 have been a very appropriate namel A large flower with broad 

 oval falls and heavy yellow beard. 42 inches tall. 



LOTTE LEMBRICH (Lapham, '51) Each $5.00 



Two shades of lilac . . . the standards like some of the "pink" 

 lilacs, the falls a deeper, or old-fashioned lilac hue. The beard is 

 bright tangerine. Very large, rounded blossoms; truly different. 

 37 inches.
