Blue Shimmer 



GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) 



Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Solid deep cream, but with an outpouring of rich, golden orange all 

 about the central portion of the flower. Tall, perfectly branched, very 

 floriferous, it will stand out in a planting of hundreds of varieties. 

 HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. See page 27. 



GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each ^5.00 



Brilliant mustard-gold self. A much ruffled flower with immense wide 

 standards, nicely domed. Falls are exactly the same color, with narrow 

 band of copper shading near the outer edges. A sister seedling of 

 Chamois and Bryce Canyon, not quite as tall as either of these, but 

 about 33 inches in height and a profuse bloomer. Illustrated in color 

 on page 22. HM AIS, 1947. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) 



Each ^1.00; 3 for S2.50 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. 

 Entirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris 

 to be admired at close range and is especially suited to bringing in- 

 doors and associating with Oriental rugs. Attractively formed and 

 delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it 

 flowers over a very long season. Very large, it is accurately shown in 

 color on page 22. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London. 

 Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome 

 foliage and 4-foot stalks, ideally branched. Look at its record: HM 

 AIS, 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 1942; No. 1 in the AIS judges' 

 symposium for four successive years and among the first ten for eight 

 years! Shown on page 19. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a Mag- 

 nolia. A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and 

 suffusion of gold sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold very short 

 last year. See page 28. 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each ^2.00 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chest nut -brown, silky rather 

 than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new into the 

 Variegata field. There is such a contrast in the standards and falls, 

 the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly brown vnthout haft mark- 

 ings, that it commands immediate attention. 4-foot stems, lots of 

 flowers. HM AIS, 1945. See page 6. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) Each ^1.50 



Very deep blue-purple Plicata. The flowers are marbled rather than 

 stitched, giving the blossoms a much darker appearance than the 

 usual Plicata type. Big and bold, accurately shown in color on page 

 45. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each ^10.00 



Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm glow of copper and a touch 

 of blue in the center of the falls. The blooms are extra large and 

 wide-petaled. with pleasingly rounded form. Very tall and vigorous 

 grower. Few plants. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each ^3.00 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of individuality and style. Tall 

 and strong stems, the flowers large and of substantial build with color 

 that is clear and bright ; petals slightly waved. Height 38 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1945. See color illustration on page 38. 



HARVEST MOON (Whiting, 1944) Each ^2.00 



A luscious apricot blend, the flowers large and rounded, with full, 

 wide petals of extra heax'y substance. Almost as fine as Mellowglow 

 and very much the same color. 



HELEN McGregor (Graves, 1946) Each ^10.00 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the sensation of the Iris 

 world the year of its introduction. Of perfect form, flaring and daintily 

 ruffled, very large, beautifully spaced on nice stems, it is not only 

 supreme as a light blue but ranks as one of the best of all new Irises. 

 HM AIS, 1946 ; AM, 1948.
