MAJENICA 



RED VALOR 



OZONE (J. Sass, 1935) Each 50c 



A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in standards 

 and falls, with a pronounced copper shouider on each fall. Large and 

 of ideal shape. A fine grower. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. 



PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 194^) Each $5.00 



Gorgeous colorings of the Arizona desert blended into a stately Iris 

 reaching four feet in height. A soft buffy tan, with brownish suffu- 

 sion at the haft and violet midribs in the standards. A light violet 

 patch at the end of the beard adds a contrasting touch. 



PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $5.00 



New white Plicata which we like very much and which we regard as 

 different from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed 

 pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright gold across 

 the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very bril- 

 liant. Tall and large, with all good points. HM AiS, 1946. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $1.50 



A pinkish Plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in color 

 plate. This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying power" and 

 Its pinkiness accents any spot where it is planted. Oval-shaped 

 blooms on tall stems, nicely branched. Rapid increaser. See color 

 plate on page 23. 



PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $3.00 



Tall, wiry stems bear many medium sized flowers of peach-pink color 

 which last over a very long season. Makes a very pink clump, where 

 it is at its best. Not impressive the first season as a single stalk. See 

 color illustration on page 32. 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1 946) Each $ 1 5.00 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks — a true pink devoid of 

 violet influence — the kind of pink Iris we have all been wishing to 

 see. Color is described as pale cameo-pink, a self, with a startling 

 tangerine beard, like a tongue of flame on the hafts. An Iris of good 

 size, three feet in height. HM AIS, 1946. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $4.00 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 

 thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and 

 clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard 

 is lemon. Height 3 feet; very lote. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an intermediate 

 because of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are 

 self colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. 



POT O' GOLD (Grant, 1941) Each $2.50 



The most brilliant intense yellow Iris we grow. About the size of 

 Golden Hind and much like it in form and size, but even deeper and 

 richer in color. Some of our visitors select it over all other yellows. 

 Medium size, three feet tall. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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 adequately. The picture on page 16 is fairly accurate, 

 however, and leaves but little to the imagination. A fine big flower 

 that will give you a thrill every time you look at it. HM AIS, 1937; 

 AM, 1941. Dykes Medal, 1943. 



PREMIER PEACH (Hall, 1946) Each $12.00 



From the new "flamingo" pink series, but less pink and more the 

 color of peach ice cream — a smooth, soft and very delicate shade. 

 This has the typical tangerine-red beard. Good size and form, just 

 under 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1946. 



PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A seedling of Far West and Naranja. Solid golden orange, one of the 

 richest things in the garden picture. Flowers of medium size, very 

 flaring in form, widely spaced along the branching stems. HM AIS, 

 1942; AM, 1944. 



RADIANT (Salbach, 1 936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Standards of burnished golden bronze; falls glowing copper-red; one 

 of the most strikingly brilliant Iris obtainable. Of better than average 

 size, well branched. Produces an immense quantity of bloom and 

 increases rapidly. HM AIS, 1938. 

 RAJAH BROOKE (Norton, 1945) Each $6.00 



Rich topaz-yellow standards shot with bronze; the falls deep pigeon- 

 blood-red. Haft is solidly colored, clear into the throat, giving the 

 flower an extra rich effect. Not brilliant and garish. Rajah Brooke 

 is an Iris in luxurious, subdued hues remindful of an Oriental rug. 

 HM AIS, 1946. 



RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $4.00 



Dark but very bright almost true crimson-red. A decided self, with 

 long, cone-shaped, closed standards and wide falls of glossy velvet. 

 Bronze-orange beard on a brownish toned haft, with very little vena- 

 tion. One of the last to bloom, a sure producer of flowers and lots of 

 them, with straight stems and fine branching. Very large, 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. Shown on page 29.
