ESQUIRE (Lothrop, 1945) Each ^7.50 



Sultry blue-purple — huge, widely branched, commanding in stature 

 and form. Between Violet Symphony and Brunhilde in color. This 

 is one of the best new things from Southern California and it is said 

 to be hardy in the east. 45 inches tall. HM AIS. 1947. 



EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 35c; 3 for ^1.00 



Soft powder-blue self, quite different from all other blues. Tall and 

 stately, with blooms of perfect form and thick enamel finish. Just 

 a suggestion of yellow in the center to liven it up. HM AIS. 1937; 

 AM, 1939. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, 1944) Each ^8.00 



Almost white standards shaded cream at the base, the falls a medley 

 of copper, red, lavender and deep violet, with a violet flush down the 

 center. On the order of Wabash, but is more of a blend especially in 

 the falls. One of the most talked about new things. HM AIS. 1944: 

 AM, 1947. 



FANTASY (Hall, 1947) Each ^20.00 



A lovely rose and orchid-toned pink, distinctive and quite different in 

 color from the flamingo pinks. The coloring is smooth and luscious, 

 more vivid than most in this series. Beard is tangerine-red. Beautiful 

 branching, above average size, stoul 30-inch stems. HM AIS, 1947. 



FAR WEST (Kleinsorge, 1936) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



One of the loveliest of all blends, a rare mixture of salmon and golden 

 sand, of coral and henna, vrith a soft glow at the heart. Height 3 feet 

 and over. Far West is the parent and grandparent of many of Dr. 

 Kleinsorge's finest seedlings. HM AIS, 1937. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, 1943) Each ^3.50 



A glowing dark burgundy-red Plicata, with yellow trim. The flowers 

 have good substance, are well formed and are carried on fairly well 

 branched, stout, 32-inch stems. The depth and richness of color com- 

 mands the attention of every visitor. Shown on page 35. 



FLORADORA (Hall, 1947) Each ^7.50 



A medium toned flamingo-pink, of good form and substance on well- 

 branched 30-inch stems. The blooms are &f medium size with a 

 geranium-red beard. Size of flower, foliage and stem are in good 

 balance. A self with no haft markings. 



FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



Something entirely 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. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



FLORENTINE (Cayeux, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



A Plicata that is really individual in style — the white ground color 

 is entirely dotted with soft blue, with such an over-all effect that the 

 flower seems quite submerged in flaky blue dust. Enormous in size, 

 with very tall stalks and good branching. 



FORTUNE (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



Solid and uniform old gold, a flower of startling size and broadly 

 spreading form. The color is not dull, but very much alive due to a 

 peculiar overlay of "rusty red"' that seems to come from nowhere but 

 is apparent in all parts of the flower. Of medium height, the gigantic 

 blooms are on a level that permits full observation of their size and 

 beauty. In color on page 45. 



FORTUNE'S FAVOR (Deforest, 1944) Each ^4.00 



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 

 lavender flush. Slightly waved and ruffled, lit up by an extra heavy 

 deep yellow beard. 



FRANCONIA (Graves, 1942) Each ^3.50 



As cool and classic as white marble, a gigantic and perfectly formed 

 white Iris which may be the best white of all. Certainly it is as fine 

 as any we have ever grown and we recommend it without hesitation. 

 Originated in New Hampshire, its hardiness is unquestioned. HM 

 AIS, 1942. 



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



A tall and very well-proportioned large Iris with rosy tan standards 

 flushed yellow and rosy red falls. It is not a true Variegata but might 

 be called a Variegata blend. The colors are not harsh and blend well 

 in the garden schemes. Flowers, stalk and foliage are unusually large 

 size. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1940. Shown in color on page 27. 



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



One of the aU-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. Far from new, it still thrills all who see it. See page 29. 



GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass, 1941) Each ^1.50 



A very 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 falls, and it blooms quite late. HM AIS, 1940; AM. 1943. In 

 color on page 27.
