SNOW FLURRY (Rees, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards pure icy white beautifully ruffled. Falls big, broad 

 and pure white. They are waved and crimped at the edges, 

 semi-flaring and abundantly produced on stems reaching 4 

 feet. Early and long lasting. Note the color plate on page 38. 



SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass, 1944) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This grand new red is one of the finest dark Irises of recent 

 years. Beautifully formed, the color is aptly described by the 

 name. No haft venation and a deep bronze-gold beard accent 

 the richness of the plush-like falls. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 

 1944; AM, 1947. Shown in color on page 36. 



SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $5.00 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and 

 vivid chestnut-red. Those familiar with the variety Mexico will 

 recognize this as a lively improvement on that popular and dis- 

 tinct Iris. It is well illustrated on page 20. Spanish Fandango 

 is a rampant grower, easily reaching four feet, with plenty of 

 good wide branching and lots of big frilled blossoms. All eves 

 will be upon it! HM AIS, 1952. 



SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, 1947) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



One of the really great new Irises of the day, from the hy- 

 bridizer who gave the world the famous Elmohr. Spanish 

 Peaks may prove to be the supreme white of all— a pure clean 

 flower of immense proportions, no yellow on the haft or in the 

 throat. It has everything, including giant size, graceful form, 

 tall stems and perfect branching. HM AIS, 1948; AM. 1950. 



SPELLBOUND (Linse, 1951) Each $6.00 



Big, bold and handsome! This glowing Iris is done in red with 

 a golden overlay. Large size, horizontally flaring form and fine 

 ruffling all combine to make it an outstanding addition. 42 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1952. 



STARSHINE (Wills, 1949) Each $4.00 



Subtle pastel shades of cream, buff and muted blue, blended 

 into a pearly combination for those who like soft colors. Falls 

 flare out horizontally and the branching is wide, giving it the 

 reputation as "the Iris of most perfect form." HM AIS, 1949; 

 AM, 1951. 



STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith, 1947) Each $3.00 



Generally regarded as the finest true variegata of all. Stand- 

 ards bright golden yellow, falls velvety red, edged with a very 

 narrow band of gold. 38 inches tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. 



STORM WARNING (Schreiner, 1953) Each $10.00 



This new "black" has both great size and a 36-inch stalk 

 to set it apart from most of its competitors. The color 

 tends to the red-black rather than the blue-black of many 

 of our other dark ones. A sumptuous sheen and perfect 

 form are added fine qualities. The beard is deep bronze. 

 HM AIS, 1954. 



LEADING LADY 



SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, 1957 ) Each $10.00 



We have not introduced a yellow self from this hybridizer 

 since 1944, when Goldbeater was brought out. There have been 

 two or three times that certain superior yellows were marked 

 lor naming, and then a new one would come into flower and 

 excel them. This one seems to be the "ultimate." It is difficult 

 to explain, in cold words, how this Iris is superior to any yel- 

 low we have ever seen. But it surely is just that . . . the deepest 

 vellow imaginable, huge in size, very wide at the haft, ideally 

 formed. Height over 3 feet. See page 15. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 

 1953. 



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) Each $1.00 



This Iris came to us with a flattering recommendation. Some- 

 thing different in the way of Oriental coloring— standards Van 

 Dyke-red to deep old rose; falls the same with golden overlay, 

 especially on the upper half. There is a dash of violet-blue in 

 the center of each fall. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1946. 



SUMMER SUN (Craig, 1951 ) Each $3.50 



This fine deep yellow with flaring falls has Berkeley Gold, Ola 

 Kala. Tobacco Road and Cascade Splendor all in its back- 

 ground breeding! Tom Craig says it is one of his very best new 

 yellows. Rapid increaser.
