ORELIO (DeForest, 1947) Each ^10.00 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa 

 Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as 

 to the color of this rich new Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. 

 HM AIS, 1948. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



One of the largest Irises in existence, and especially noteworthy be- 

 cause it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height. 

 ■ with several great blooms on well-branched stalks. The color is pale 

 lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when first opening and 

 in dull weather. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



OVERTURE (Hall, 1944) Each ^5.00 



This was the first of the new "flamingo" pinks. A luscious shade of 

 pure pink, of medium size, on tall and well-branched stems. The 

 bright red-orange beard gives it lots of zip. Increases very fast and 

 will make a clump of pink that you didn't think could be possible 

 in Iris! 



PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 1943) Each $2.00 



Gorgeous colorings of the Aiizona desert blended into a stately Iris 

 reaching 4 feet in height. A soft buffy tan, with brownish suffusion 

 at the haft and violet midribs in the standards. A light violet patch 

 at the end of the beard adds a contrasting touch. 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $2.00 



A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the haft. 

 Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is its real 

 distinctive feature. It is oval, with standards closed and swirled at 

 the top; the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, 

 the effect is of a huge yellow rosebud. Very late, high branched and 

 tall — most effective in back of a planting. 



PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $3.00 



New white Plicata which we like very much and which we regard as 

 different from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed 

 pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright gold across 

 the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very bril- 

 liant. Tall and large, with all good points. HM AIS. 1946. See 

 page 14. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $1.50 



A pinkish Plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in color 

 plate. This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying power" and 

 its pinkiness accents any spot where it is planted. Oval-shaped blooms 

 on tall stems, nicely branched. Rapid increaser. See color plate on 

 page 23. 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $10.00 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks — a true pink devoid of violet 

 influence — the kind of pink Iris we have all been wishing to see. Color 

 is described as pale cameo-pink, a self, with a startling tangerine 

 beard, like a tongue of flame on the hafts. An Iris of good size. 3 feet 

 in height. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $3.00 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 

 thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and 

 clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard 

 is lemon. Height 3 feet ; very late. HM AIS, 1942 ; AM, 1944. See 

 page 37. 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an intermediate 

 because of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are 

 self colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



All that has been said about this gorgeous Sass creation is true, but 

 it simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings of peach, 

 apricot, rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at a loss 

 to describe it adequately. The picture on page 20 is fairly accurate, 

 however, and leaves but little to the imagination. A fine big flower 

 that will give you a thrill every time you look at it. HM AIS, 1937; 

 AM, 1941. Dykes Medal, 1943. 



PREMIER PEACH (Hall, 1946) Each $8.00 



From the new "flamingo" pink series, but less pink and more the 

 color of peach ice cream — a smooth, soft and very delicate shade. 

 This has the typical tangerine-red beard. Good size and form, just 

 under 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1946. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, 



1948) 



Sold out for 1949 



PINK SENSATION (Hall, 1948) 



Sold out for 1949 



PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge, 1940) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A seedling of Far West and Naranja. Solid golden orange, one of the 

 richest things in the garden picture. Flowers of medium size, very 

 flaring in form, widely spaced along the branching stems. HM AIS, 

 1942; AM, 1944. 



RADIANT (Salbach, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Standards of burnished golden bronze; falls glowing copper-red; one 

 of the most strikingly brilliant Iris obtainable. Of better than average 

 size, well branched. Produces an immense quantity of bloom and in- 

 creases rapidly. HM AIS, 1938. 



RAJAH BROOKE (Norton, 1945) Each $3.00 



Rich topaz-yellow standards shot with bronze; the falls deep pigeon- 

 blood-red. Haft is solidly colored, clear into the throat, giving the 

 flower an extra rich effect. Not brilliant and garish. Rajah Brooke 

 is an Iris in luxurious, subdued hues remindful of an Oriental rug. 

 HM AIS, 1946. In color on page 15. 



RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $3.00 



Dark but very bright almost true crimson-red. A decided self, with 

 long, cone-shaped, closed standards and wide falls of glossy velvet. 

 Bronze-orange beard on a brownish toned haft, with very little vena- 

 tion. One of the last to bloom, a sure producer of flowers and lots of 

 them, with straight stems and fine branching. Very large, 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. Shown on page 39. 



RED GLEAM (Lapham, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is the red Iris that actually looks red and has been declared the 

 nearest approach to scarlet thus far obtained in this flower. It is of 

 good size, of beautiful semi-flaring form. 3 feet in height and a free 

 bloomer. Texture is velvety but excitingly brilliant. HM AIS, 1940 ; 

 AM. 1941. 



RED TORCH (H. Sass, 1947) Each $6.00 



Standards rich deep buff or bronze-gold, falls pure velvety red — quite 

 the nearest true red of any Iris, solid to the edge. There is not the 

 sharp contrast found in true variegatas, thus this Iris might be termed 

 a blend or variegata-blend. Of moderate height and size, the flowers 

 perfectly formed and decidedly flaring. HM AIS, 1947. 



RED VALOR (Nicholls, 1939) Each $2.00 



A superb big red that has been gaining popularity each season. A 

 garnet-red self with brown beard. It won the Roman Gold Medal in 

 1940; the HM of the AIS in 1941, and the AM in 1943. Because it 

 is absolutely hardy and has given satisfaction everywhere, it is in great 

 demand and stock remains scarce. 



RED WARD (Cook, 1942) Each $4.00 



Deepest crimson-red — an approach to red from the purple side with- 

 out the orange or brown influence as in the case of the 3 varieties 

 listed just above. A large and brilliant Iris with widely flaring velvety 

 falls. HM AIS, 1945. 



POT O' GOLD (Grant, 1941) Each $1.50 



The most brilliant intense yellow Iris we grow. About the size of 

 Golden Hind and much like it in form and size, but even deeper and 

 richer in color. Some of our visitors select it over all other yellows. 

 Medium size, 3 feet tall. 



REDWYNE (McKee, 1945) Each $7.50 



Deep but bright mahogany red self. The medium size flowers are 

 solidly colored, including a smooth haft, and the finish is particularly 

 velvety. Beard is bronze-gold. One of the "reddest" Irises, especially 

 brilliant in the garden. HM AIS, 1945.
