Produced by Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge, Silverton, Oregon. The reputation 

 of this well-known hybridizer and the fame and success achieved by his 

 previous introductions should constitute assurance that these three new 

 ones will make their mark in the Iris world. 



GOOD NEWS Each $10.00 



Brilliant mustard-gold self, very much ruffled, with immense wide 

 standards that are nicely domed. The falls are exactly the same 

 color, with narrow band of copper near the outer edges. Beard is dull 

 gold. This is 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. 



CORDOVAN Each $10.00 



A seedling of Bryce Canyon. The color is close to that of cordovan 

 leather — a deep coppery ox-blood tone, very rich and glossy. Stand- 

 ards are coppery rose-red. Hafts are very finely netted with minute 

 webbing and the falls have a distinct frill or ruffle. Very large and 

 bold in appearance, well branched. 



JULIET Each $10.00 



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

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

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

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

 broad and distinctly flaring. Increases fast and makes a gorgeous 

 clump. 



GOOD NEWS 



ACTION FRONT (Cook, 1942) Each $5.00 



A huge flower of glowing deep coppery red, with extra broad falls 

 and solidly colored haft. Beard is brilliant yellow. A grand grower, 

 with strong stalks and heavy foliage. Height 3 feet. 



AND THOU (Graves, 1942) Each $6.00 



A self of palest Wedgwood-blue, with a deeper blue flush in the 

 center of the bloom. Beard deep blue, tipped white. Strong stalks 

 with good branching, bearing large rounded flowers. 40 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1942. 



ALASTOR (Spender, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



One of the very few exceptional Irises originated in England just 

 prior to the outbreak of the war. This is a beautiful flower in deep 

 pink tones, vivid and alive, with golden center and a golden hazel- 

 brown haft. AM AIS, 1941. 



ANGELUS (Egelberg, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



In color a bright light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just 

 below the lemon beard. Throughout the center there is a delicate 

 infusion of lemon-yellow. Large, husky stems, 3 feet tall, very 

 late. HM AIS, 1939. 



ALBA SUPERBA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $20.00 



The newest and best white from the Sass gardens. A huge pure 

 white flower with domed standards and flaring falls, thick sub- 

 stance and well-branched stalks. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1943. 



ANITRA (H. Sass, 1936) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A silvery sky blue, pure in color, of great size and beautiful form. 

 Particularly effective and strikingly blue in late afternoon and 

 early evening. Midseason, average height. 



ALLUMEUSE (Gage, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A great improvement over the old variety Sir Michael. Falls are 

 sort of mahogany-red, standards bright violet-blue with bronze 

 cast. Center is fiery orange, due especially to the golden beard. 

 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1938. 



ARAB CHIEF (Whiting, 1944) Each $6.00 



An Iris of rich and brilliant coloring — very near to burnt orange 

 in effect. It is a pure self of intense color value, of large size, 

 pleasing form and has exceptionally vigorous growing and bloom- 

 ing habits. 



ALONA (DeForest, 1945) Each $15.00 



A lovely blend with the colors of China Maid in a large ruffled 

 flower with flaring falls. Less pink and more coppery than the 

 new variety Tea Rose. Height 36 inches. 



ARIANE (Cayeux, 1935) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This is an unusual plicata, much more blue than white, somewhat 

 on the order of Florentine but with a heavier and darker blue 

 ground. A very fine, large and well-formed Iris, it will prove 

 something different for those who like plicatas. 



ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each $10.00 



Large flower of subdued rose tones, bordering on lilac or pale 

 violet. It has a slaty overcast, suggesting the soft colors of moun- 

 tain valleys at sundown. The beard is gold and there is some 

 brown shading on the haft. A sturdy and well-branched stalk 40 

 inches tall holds the self-colored blossoms well aloft. Petals are 

 crimped like an Oriental Poppy. 



AMIGO (Williamson, 1934) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This richly colored Iris suggests purple Pansies, with its velvety 

 texture and sharp contrasting shades of blue and violet. It is one 

 of the most popular varieties of all time and in 1945 was given 

 a special award by the English Iris Society. Standards are clear 

 light violet-blue, falls intense violet-purple edged the color of the 

 standards. 34 inches tall, a fine grower and good reliable bloomer. 

 HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. 



ARCTIC (Kleinsorge, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Here is one of the most beautiful and best Iris originated by this 

 famous raiser of notable seedlings. A huge white and gold flower 

 of perfect form, with ruffled but closed standards and broad falls 

 that are as smooth as white enamel. There is an area of bright 

 yellow throughout the center of the flower and the standards have 

 a creamy tint. Established plants will produce spikes four feet 

 and over in height, with as many as six open foamy flowers at one 

 time. HM AIS, 1941; AM, 1942. See page 3 of this catalog. 



AUBANEL (Cayeux, 1935) Each $1.00 



This pink blend from France is one of the loveliest Irises ever re- 

 ceived from that country and one of the nearest to pink in color. 

 It is large and well formed, sort of shimp-pink with a good deal 

 of yellow in the center. Very limited stock.
