GARDEN 

 FLAME 



GRAND CANYON 



ELIZABETH ANN (Lapham, 1940) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This tall pink Iris is one of the lost to flower in our garden. Very 

 tall, with as many as 1 1 blooms per stalk. A blend of pink shades, 

 with much cream in its makeup. A fast increaser but rhizomes 

 not very large. 



FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell, 1938) Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 



Standards bright light yellow; falls an emphatic deep yellow set 

 off with a fiery orange beard. Totally distinct from other yellows, 

 it increases fast and is indispensable in the garden and attracts 

 wide attention when exhibited. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) Each $10.00 



For sheer brilliance here is an Iris that will constantly catch the 

 eye of every visitor. It is a huge deep yellow with the falls flushed 

 orange. The striking feature about it, however, is the infusion 

 of orange-red on the falls, sort of brushed on, particularly about 

 the center. It is not a plicata and can hardly be called a blend. 

 One of the most distinct of all Sass Irises. 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $4.00; 3 for $10.00 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this rich red-violet seedling 

 of Wm. Mohr has acquired the greatest popularity in the shortest 

 time of any Iris ever introduced. One of the very largest of all 

 Irises, the great blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture and 

 remarkable substance. The stems are well branched and at least 

 three feet tall. Because it has proven to be hardy everywhere and 

 increases rapidly, the price has reached a point where every gen- 

 uine Iris connoisseur can and should own it. HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM, 1943. Shown in color on the back cover. 



FAR WEST (Kleinsorge, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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

 golden sand, of coral and henna, with 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. 



FIESTA (White, 1936) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot-orange falls, a very gay affair. 

 The large oval blooms are well held on 3-foot stems. From Cali- 

 fornia and a bit tender in severe climates HM AIS, 1935. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, 1943) Each $7.50 



A glowing dark burgundy-red plicata, with yellow trim. The flow- 

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

 well-branched stout 32-inch stems. The depth and richness of 

 color commands the attention of every visitor. Very limited stock; 

 early orders only. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a greenish 

 cast in its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blos- 

 soms are of good size, rounded in form and slightly frilled at the 

 edges. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1944. See page 13. 



FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A new russet-red, or perhaps "peach-red" would be more appro- 

 priate. It has the deep, warm tones of brownish red seen on the 

 darkly colored side of a luscious ripe peach. A glowing, rich Iris, 

 very large and handsomely formed, not nearly well enough known. 

 HM AIS, 1940. 



EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



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. 



FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) Each $3.00 



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. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, 1944) Each $25.00 



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. 



FLORENTINE (Cayeux, 1937) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.09 



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.
