FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



.Simething enlirely different in color — a melting cameo-pink that has been referred 

 to as "like the foam on a Strawberry soda." It has lines of heavier color near the 

 haft, with a most startling shrimp-red beard. Not large, it is an Iris to be enjoyed 

 as a clump, for its most novel color. 1 1 \1 AIS, 1942; AM. 1944. 



FORTUNE'S FAVOR (DeFoiest, 1944) Each ^2.50 



Really a giant in size, this new blend has about everything one could ask for in a 

 good Iris. The tan standards are broad and closed. The very wide falls are rounded 

 and colored a glistening tan overlaid with lavendei- llu^li. Slightly waved and rnffled. 

 lit up by an extra heavy deep yellow jjeard. 



FRANK ADAMS (Lapliam, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



A lall and very well-proportioned large Iris with rosy lan slantlards (lushed yellow 

 and rosy red falls. It is not a true Variegata but might be called a Variegala blend. 

 The colors are not harsh and blend well in the garden schemes. Flowers, stalk and 

 foliage are unusually large size. HM MS. 1958; AM. 1940. Shown in robu- on page 29. 



FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr, 1926) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



One of the all-time Iris greats. A massive lilac-pink or light rosy violet flower with 

 broad, spreading falls. When established and well grown, this Iris will reach .5 feet 

 in height, with stalks and foliage in proportion. F'ar from new. it still ihrilK all who 

 see it. 



GALLANT LEADER (Wiesner. 1939) Each 5^1.00 



Broad and well arched standards of deep rose-red; falls velvely maroon louched with 

 coppery gold, especially at the haft. A flower of staggering size, impressive in its 

 richness and regal carriage. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1939. Shown on page 19. 



GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass, 1941) ■ Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



A \rr> deep rose-mahogany, if you can imagine such a color. Called by some judges 

 rose-red. but It is nearer garnet, with a deep rose and brown area about the center. 

 It has no haft markings, making it one of the richest and handsomest of all dark Irises. 

 Large, with very broad fall-, and il bloom- qnile lale. HM AIS. 1940; AM. 1943. 



GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, 1943) Each ^4.00 



A pure self of rich Bordeaux-red; a seedling from Red Douglas crossed with Garden 

 Magic. This is one of the nearest to true red of any Iris ever flowered in our gardens: 

 pure, deep and rich, with no haft venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished with deep 

 bronze-gold beard. Height 33 inches. HM AIS, 194.5; AM, 1947. 



GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter, 1936) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



A \ery late, very large, and especially velvety deep red self. After more than ten years 

 it continues to hold its own, right up front among the best red Irises. Many people 

 will hardly believe it costs less than a dollar! Has not increased fast and supply is 

 n-nally short. HM AIS. 1937. See color cut on page 28. 



GAY BORDER (DeFoiest, 1949) Each ^10.00 



If you like plicatas and are looking for a new and distinct effect in this line we think 

 yon will be pleasantly surprised by this one. The impression is that of a clean while 

 flower bordered and stitched with red. Actually the contrast is not that extreme, for 

 the plicata markings are really bright maroon rose — a ^-inch border on the falls! — 

 and the wide falls have a touch of ^old al the haft. Large, tall and well branched. 

 HM AIS, 1949.
