GOOD NEWS (Klemsorge, 1946) Each $7.50 



Brilliant mustard-gold self. A much ruffled flower with immense 

 wide standards, nicely domed. Falls ore exactly the same color, 

 with narrow band of copper shading near the outer edges. A 

 sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, not quite as toll as 

 either of these, but about 33 inches in height and a profuse 

 bloomer. Illustrated in color on page 6. HM AIS, 1947. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. 

 Entirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an 

 Iris to be admired at close range and is especially suited to bring- 

 ing indoors and associating with oriental rugs. Attractively formed 

 and delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, 

 and it flowers over a very long season. Very large, it is accurately 

 shown in color on page 17. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



ROSE SPLENDOR 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of 

 London, Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with 

 handsome foliage and 4-foot stalks, ideally branched. Look at 

 its record: HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 1942; No. 1 

 in the AIS judges symposium for four successive years and among 

 the first ten for seven years! Shown on page 1 3. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a 

 Magnolia. A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard 

 and suffusion of gold sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold veiy 

 short last year. See page 19. 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $3.00 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut-brown, silky 

 rather than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new 

 into the Variegata field. There is such a contrast in the standards 

 and falls, the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly brown with- 

 out haft markings, that it commands immediate attention. 4- 

 foot stems, lots of flowers. HM AIS, 1945. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) Each $2.00 



Very deep blue-purple Plicata. The flowers are marbled rather 

 than stitched, giving the blossoms a much darker appearance than 

 the usual Plicata type. Big and bold, accurately shown in color 

 on page 33. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $15.00 



Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm glow of copper and a 

 touch of blue in the center of the falls. The blooms are extra 

 large and wide-petaled, with pleasingly rounded form. Very toll 

 and vigorous grower. Few plants. 



HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



A giant flower, smooth, light yellow in color. Inclined to lush 

 growth and in severe climates should be afforded some protection, 

 but it amply rewards this extra care. We can now supply it at a 

 figure any gardener con afford. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each $5.00 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of individuality and style. 

 Tall and strong stems, the flowers large and of substantial build 

 with color that is clear and bright; petals slightly waved. Height 

 38 inches. HM AIS, 1945. See color illustration on page 28. 



HARVEST MOON (Whiting, 1944) Each $3.09 



A luscious apricot blend, the flowers large and rounded, with full, 

 wide petals of extra heavy substance. Almost as fine as Mellow- 

 glow and very much the same color. 



HELEN McGregor (Graves, 1946) Each $18.00 



Cleor pole blue, pure and uniform in color, the sensation of the 

 Iris world the year of its introduction. Of perfect form, flaring 

 and daintily ruffled, very large, beautifully spaced on nice stems, 

 it is not only supreme as a light blue but ranks as one of the best 

 of all new Irises. HM AIS, 1 946. 



ICY BLUE (Weed, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The lightest blue self in the list. Beautifully formed, amply 

 branched and the stems reach four feet. Almost white, the color 

 is clearly defined as lightest delicate blue with orange beard. 

 HM AIS, 1941 . 



IDANHA (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $1.25 



This is a tall, pronounced bicolor with apricot-yellow standards 

 and pinky falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that reach four feet, 

 widely and obundontly branched, making it ideal for garden effect 

 — a pink-and-tan picture. Large blooms, lasting over a long 

 period. 



ILLINOIS SUNSHINE (Fought, 1 946) Each $10.00 



A new yellow of great size, deep in general tone but the falls have 

 a slightly lighter central area. Beard is deep yellow. Very tall, 

 widely branched and has increased astonishingly in our garden. 



INDIAN HILLS (Grant, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Rich true purple, more red than blue, with a silky shsen about it 

 that gives it exceptional brilliance. Very large oval-shaped bios-, 

 soms, a rampant grower and one of the most effective as a garden 

 mass — gloriously vivid. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, 1942) Each $6.00 



Lustrous, deepest, richest velvety purple, almost block. The finest 

 and most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from 

 the famous Sable. 38-inch stems, well branched, with every good 

 quality desired in an Iris. Midseason and long lasting. HM AIS, 

 1942; AM, 1944.
