HIT PARADE (Hall, 1947) Each ^10.00 



Another flamingo-pink, with some ruffling, good form and substance, 

 and a little larger flower than Courtier or Floradora, carried on well- 

 branched 34-inch stems. Color is lighter than Courtier and deeper 

 than Floradora and it has the characteristic tangerine beard. 



ICY BLUE (Weed, 1940) Each 60c; 3 for ^1.50 



The lightest blue self in the list. Beautifully formed, amply branched 

 and the stems reach 4 feet. Almost white, the color is clearly defined 

 as lightest delicate blue with orange beard. HM AIS, 1941. 



IDANHA (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each ^1.00 



This is a tall, pronounced bicolor with apricot-yellow standards and 

 pinky falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that reach 4 feet, widely 

 and abundantly branched, making it ideal for garden effect — a pink- 

 and-tan picture. Large blooms, lasting over a long period. 



ILLINOIS SUNSHINE (F aught, 1946) Each 0.00 



A new yellow of great size, deep in general tone but the falls have a 

 slightly lighter central area. Beard is deep yellow. Very tall, widely 

 branched and has increased astonishingly in our garden. 



INDIAN HILLS (Grant, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



Rich true purple, more red than blue, with a silky sheen about it 

 that gives it exceptional brilliance. Very large oval-shaped blossoms, 

 a rampant grower and one of the most efEective as a garden mass — 

 gloriously vivid. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, 1942) Each ^00 



Lustrous, deepest, richest velvety purple, almost black. The finest 

 and most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from the 

 famous Sable. 38-inch stems, well branched, with every good quality 

 desired in an Iris. Midseason and long lasting. HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM, 1944. Shown on page 30. 



INNOVATION (Hall, 1945) Each $3.00 



A rose-trimmed Plicata, brighter and more colorful than other pinkish 

 Plicatas. It carries a lot of color — a pink Firecracker, as it were — 

 with 3-foot stems and good branches. Hardy and increases fast. HM 

 AIS, 1947. 



INSPIRATION (Stevens, 1937) Each $1.50 



Brilliant cerise-rose, huge and imposing. This is the only Iris we 

 have in this color — something entirely different and it happens to have 

 all good points. Practically a self, with slightly brownish warm cast 

 on the haft. 



JAKE (Long-Sass, 1943) Each 60c; 3 for ^1.50 



A white white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow 

 near the center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an easy 

 grower. Stands right up alongside many more expensive new whites. 

 See page 31. 



JASPER AGATE (Williams, 1943) Each $3.00 



Distinct new shade of copper-gold-red, with an underlying copper-pink 

 tone throughout the entire flower. Hard to describe, it is really a new 

 color to the Iris spectrum, with smooth velvety finish and no veining; 

 a true self. HM AIS, 1944. 



JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux, 1931) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



A smooth, soft, light buff, described by some as "coffee colored." The 

 stems are tall and well branched and the large flowers are slightly 

 wavy. A very distinct Iris. 



JULIET {Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $5.00 



We think that this is one of the most colorful and fiery blends that 

 we have seen. It is a sort of flame-copper, with salmon shadings, and 

 the beards and central areas are a mass of brilliant burnt orange. 

 Large flowers; the standards upright and well closed, the falls broad 

 and distinctly flaring. Increases fast and makes a gorgeous clump. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



JUNALUSKA (Kirk, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



Copper-red falls and copper-gold standards — a magnificent Iris with 

 a coppery red garden effect. An early bloomer, very tall and well 

 branched. Always admired and one of the "best sellers" in this cata- 

 log. Runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1938. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 

 1937. 



KATHERINE FAY (Fay, 1945) Each $5.00 



A grand white, large, tall and with semi-flaring ruffled blooms. All 

 white, with no yellow in the center. It is an easy grower and rapid 

 multiplier, 100% hardy. HM AIS. 1945; AM, 1947. 



LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves, 1946) Each $7.50 



Alabaster-white; perfection in color and form. In the originator's 

 garden it grew to 4 feet in height with magnificent branching. Slightly 

 ruffled, it bears some resemblance to Helen McGregor in form. Beard 

 is light yellow and does not contrast with the pure white effect. 

 AM AIS, 1948. 



LADYMOHR (Salbach, 1944) Each 0.00 



A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. Mohr 

 family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously unknown 

 in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, huge and 

 slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale chartreuse or 

 greenish yellow, with prominent veining. There is a very prominent 

 dark patch surrounding the beard. Lady Mohr was the center of 

 interest in our gai-den last season, where some of the stalks reached 

 4 feet in height and carried several open blooms at one time. HM 

 AIS. 1944; AM. 1946. See page 41. 



LAKE BREEZE (Fay, 1945) Each 0.00 



A seedling of Gloriole, with much of its charm and frosty pale blue 

 tone. Lake Breeze is heavily ruffled, the falls flaring and wide with 

 no haft markings. A bit deeper in color than Gloriole, slightly larger, 

 the stems carrying 9 to 11 flowers. Three feet tall. HM AIS. 1945. 



LAKE GEORGE (K. Smith, 1945) Each 0.00 



When this violet-blue Iris was introduced it was announced as possibly 

 the "bluest" of all. A parent of Blue Valley, it still maintains a claim 

 to this distinction. Self colored, the standards roundly domed, the 

 falls broad and flaring straight out. There are no haft markings and 

 the beard is pale yellow tipped blue at the end. Medium height, a 

 rapid increaser. HM AIS, 1945. 



LAKE SHANNON (DeForest, 1945) Each ^6.00 



A mighty close approach to bright indigo-blue. There are many fine 

 new blue Irises coming into commerce but this is the bluest one we 

 have seen. Practically a self, with fluted standards and falls. An odd 

 feature about this Iris is the deeper veins running the length and 

 breadth of the falls. Beard uniformly blue, shading to orange within 

 the flower. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1946. 



LAMPLIGHT (Schreiner, 1944) Each 0.00 



A tranquil blend of flesh, buff and copper, with lamplight glow. 

 Lighter in tone than what is generally referred to as salmon, and 

 deeper than apricot. Well substanced. a smoothly blended self. 



LATE SUN (DeForest, 1940) Each 0.00; 3 for 0.50 



A big bold solid yellow which has received high praise in all parts 

 of the country. Flowers measure 6 inches, petals are thick and heavy, 

 and of a uniform deep yellow color. Strong growing, with tall stalks 

 and rampant foliage. Perfectly hardy, about 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 

 1942. 



LAVENDER AND GOLD LACE (Whiting, 1946) 



Each 0.00 



A charmingly different Iris with golden yellow standards flushed 

 lavender and with crimped edges. Falls are lavender bordered with 

 a distinct frill of gold lace work. Strong, hardy plants producing 

 generous bloom and increase. Three feet tall. 



LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach, 1936) Each 60c; 3 for 0.50 



This bright rose blend is one of the most sought after Iris we grow. 

 Standards are a blend of rose and yellow; falls coppery old rose, 

 v«lth a very bright beard and glowing center. Perfectly hardy, rapid 

 increaser; an Iris that is certain to add life to your planting. HM 

 AIS, 1937; AM. 1940. 



LIGHTS ON (Lapham, 1946) Each 0.50 



A new claimant for the title of reddest Iris. It is more of a self than 

 Red Gleam, with even less of the brown in its makeup. Well shaped, 

 with solid unveined hafts, velvety falls and vivid color. 30 to 36 inches 

 in height. HM AIS, 1946.
