Soft but decidedly yellow in color, with abundant stitching of bronzy 

 pinkish violet. A gracefully frilled flower of full proportions; very

 HM AIS. 1939; AM. 1943. Shown on page 35. 



TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $3.00 



When this Iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge's garden, it was so 

 different, so remarkable in both color and form, that we lost all in- 

 terest in the many other splendid seedlings in the same garden. 

 Tobacco Road is a golden tobacco-brown self. Standards are upright 

 and almost closed, with heavy midribs. The falls are broad, very wide 

 at the haft and held stiffly horizontal. Height 32 to 36 inches, very 

 good branching. HM AIS. 1944; AM, 1946. 



TREASURE ISLAND f Kleinsorge, 1937) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A truly gigantic flower of bright clear yellow, slightly lighter in the 

 center of the falls. Tall stems, a fast increaser and easy grower. We 

 have sold more rhi/onies of Treasure Island than of any Iris we have 

 ever introduced. You will not be tlisapjKjinted in this splendid yellow. 

 AM AIS. 1915. 



TREVA (DeForest, 1945) Each $3.00 



A new glistening golden apricot self. With very wide standards and 

 falls, and flaring form, it has that unusual quality of frostiness which 

 distinguishes Gloriole. This one, however, has what might be termed 

 golden frost! HM AIS, 1946. 



TWILIGHT SKY (Fay, 1949) Each $10.00 



A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds and red 

 beard. Parentage is Pink Cameo x Floradora. Mr. Fay considers this 

 the best out of hundreds of seedlings raised for clear pinks. It is of 

 lovely form and tailored appearance, a soft clean clear pink with red 

 tinged beard. 35 inches tall. 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) Each $3.00 



Of bold stature and splendid form, this is one of the most striking 

 newcomers in an old color class that welcomes such improvements. 

 Deep but bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in texture, 

 without haft markings. It has wide-spreading falls and 3-foot stems. 

 A good piciure of it on page 17. HM AIS, 1943. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, 1946) Each $2.00 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada, one of the most richly colored 

 seedlings we have ever grown. The standards and falls are almost 

 identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them appear 

 slightly deeper. .Scarcely any haft marking — a supreme shade of 

 glowing bronzy red-purple with bronze beard. 33 inches tall. Shovra 

 on page 4.3. HM AIS. 1947. 



VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith. 1940) Each 75c 



Smoothly finished Bradley's violet self, free from venations. Prac- 

 tically without competition in its color class, the standards full and 

 closed, the falls very broad and rounded. Not a deep color but rather 

 a light violt-t-purple or deep violet-mauve. A near perfect flower, 40 

 inches tall. MM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. 



VOODOO (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $6.00 



A very dark combination of rich chocolate-brown standards and black- 

 ish red-brown falls, the entire flower crimped and ruflfled at the edges. 

 The broad falls arc held stiffly horizontal and the wide standards 

 appear close together and erect. Average size, medium height. A very 

 rich piece of color and an abundant bloomer. It is a sister seedling 

 of Pretty Quadroon. 



WABASH (Williamson, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered white 

 — the most striking amoena of all. Very tall, branched above the 

 middle of the stalk with a profusion of large, slightly ruffled blossoms. 

 The color plate on page 35 shows this popular Iris in perfect detail. 

 HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the Dykes Medal in 1940.

WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith, 1936) Each 75c 



Large glistening white with domed standards. Both the standards and 

 falls are slightly ruffled, the latter arched and flaring. 40 inches tall, 

 a vigorous grower. HM AIS, 1936. 



WINSTON CHURCHILL (Stevens, 1944) Each $7.50 



A striking new red Iris. Deep but bright crimson, the standards ex- 

 hibiting a copper glow while the falls are very dark but gleaming 

 maroon. Heavy gold beard. From New Zealand. 



WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A fine hardy white, bied in Minnesota. Widely flaring falls, snow- 

 white in color, the throat heavily tinted gold. Branching is excellent 

 and the stout stems hold the big blooms well aloft. This is surely one 

 of our best whites. HM AIS, 1942. See page 29. 



WM. MOHR (Mohr, 1925) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



The entire bloom is a self of pale rosy lilac closely netted and veined 

 deep violet, producing a weird, yet very lovely efl^ect. A mammoth 

 flower of medium height, with small foliage. Does better if divided 

 and transplanted at least every other year.
