MT. WASHINGTON (Essig, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A giant white with the form of Shining Waters. Very tall, wide 

 at the hafts and broadly flaring, it ranks with the leaders among 

 the new whites. Heavy gold beard. HM AiS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



MULBERRY ROSE (Schremer, 1941) Each $2.50 



Aptly described by the name, this new Iris is actually something 

 new and different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the self colored 

 blooms well aloft, and the branching is good. Most unusual in 

 color, it might be termed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded 

 brown. The heavy bronze beard is an added asset. HM AIS, 

 1943; AM, 1944. Shown on page 33. 



NARAIN (Shuber, 1936) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



A silky intense indigo-blue, with blue beard on a cream throat, 

 but without veining. Rather early, the foliage broad and immense 

 in stature, the flowers large. A wonderful Iris for blue garden 

 effect. 



NATIONAL WHITE (Weed, 1944) Each $2.00 



A spectacular pure white Iris that is a giant in every way. The 

 huge flowers have extra broad falls, well shaped, and the widely 

 branched stalks reach over four feet in height. One of the very 

 best new whites and it will make a good run for largest bloom in 

 any show. 



NIGHTFALL (Hall, 1942) Each $1.50 



The falls are very velvety rich dark Pansy-purple with almost no 

 veining on the haft. Standards are several shades lighter than the 

 falls, making a very striking color combination. Plushlike sub- 

 stance with a glistening sheen. 36 inches; well branched. HM 

 AIS, 1941; AM, 1945. 



NIGHTINGALE (Hall, 1942) Each $2.00 



The coloring of this Iris is really new, a glistening golden russet. 

 Surely a glorious and pleasing color, and the flowers are of large 

 size and on good stout stems. Both standards and falls are 

 identical in tone and even the beard is in harmony. Height 3 

 feet. HM AIS, 1944. Illustrated in color on page 25. 



NYLON (Whiting, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Coppery tan self with heavy gold beard. One of our largest Irises 

 and the stalks are heavy and well branched. This is an Iris you 

 will like and one that the judges seem to have overlooked. 



OLA KALA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $4.00 



Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here 

 is one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and 

 in addition it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely 

 branched 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. 

 HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. Tied for Dykes Medal, 1946. See 

 page 27. No. 1 in 100 best this year! 



OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color 

 break and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed 

 and closed; falls wide and rather tailored in appearance. A per- 

 fectly huge bloom, heavy in substance, and the longest lasting 

 variety in our garden. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1941. See page 17. 



ORANGEMAN (Waters, 1946) Each $7.50 



A lovely huge orange self with a touch of deeper orange at the 

 haft. The flower has a wonderfully smooth, well groomed look; the 

 coloring is even and rich. The tall stems, 40 inches high, are very 

 well branched. An outstanding Iris in a much sought after color. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $2.50 



A big, heavy textured flower in smoothly blended shades of tawny 

 salmon, a rich gold beard and odd soft brown areas surmounting 

 the broad falls. For sheer individuality it ranks along with Old 

 Parchment, Tobacco Road and Aztec Copper. About three feet 

 high, with heavy stems and large flowers; very late. 



ORLOFF (H. Sass, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A peach and cinnamon Plicata of good size and most unusual 

 coloring, being a sort of cinnamon-brown in effect. The ground 

 color is deep cream, heavily dotted and edged red-brown. Heavy 

 bloomer, medium height. HM AIS, 1937. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



One of the largest Irises in existence, and especially noteworthy 

 because it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in 

 height, with several great blooms on well branched stalks. The 

 color is pale lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when 

 first opening and in dull weather. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



OVERTURE (Hall, 1944) Each $8.00 



This is the first of the new "flamingo" pinks we have offered. A 

 luscious shade of pure pink, of medium size, on tall and well 

 branched stems The bright red-orange beard gives it lots of zip. 

 Increases very fast and will moke a clump of pink that you didn't 

 think could be possible in Iris!
