TISHOMINGO (Caldwell, 1942) Each $8.00 



Large clear Wistaria-blue self. Widely spreading form, with large 

 domed standards, heavy stalks and three branches. There is a 

 certain frostiness in its appearance, brought on by a light flush 

 around the beard. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $8.00 



When this Iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge's garden, it was so 

 different, so remarkable in both color and form, that we lost all 

 interest in the many other splendid seedlings in the same garden. 

 Tobacco Road is a golden tobacco-brown self. Standards are up- 

 right and almost closed, with heavy midribs. The falls are broad, 

 very wide at the haft and held stiffly horizontal. Height 32 to 

 36 inches, very good branching. HM AIS, 1944. 



TOKEN (Hall, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards old gold flushed rose; falls rosy brown-red, with very 

 little haft venation. Carries much of the salmony orange effect 

 of the old variety Mary Geddes, but with less venation. Does not 

 fade and is a husky grower, 38 inches tall, with blooms having 

 a 7-inch spread. 



TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A truly gigontic flower of bright clear yellow, slightly lighter in 

 the center of the falls. Tall stems, a fast increaser and easy 

 grower. We have sold more rhizomes of Treasure Island than of 

 any Iris we have ever introduced. You will not be disappointed 

 in this splendid yellow. AM AIS, 1945. 



TREVA (DeForest, 1945) Each $12.00 



A new glistening golden apricot self. With very wide standards 

 and falls, and flaring form, it has that unusual quality of frosti- 

 ness which distinguishes Gloriole. This one, however, has what 

 might be termed golden frost! 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) Each $5.00 



Of bold stature and splendid form, this is one of the most striking 

 newcomers in an old color class thot welcomes such improvements. 

 Deep but bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in texture, 

 without haft markings. It has wide spreading falls end three-foot 

 stems HM AIS, 1943. 



VEISHEA (Whiting, 1943) Each $4.00 



Bright rosy copper blend with clean blue blaze at the haft. With 

 large, full flowers, it is but little over 30 inches tall; a wonderful 

 Iris for its color and landscape value. Prolific flowering, well 

 branched and has a long season of bloom. Its bright color will 

 have wide appeal. 



LADY MOHR 



Something new under the sun 

 in the manner of an exotic On- 

 cocylus with regular bearded Iris 

 vigor. 



This strangely beautiful giant of a flower 

 brings new color and style into the familiar 

 Iris pattern. Result of a rare cross, Lady 

 Mohr has something about it that appears 

 to be out of this Iris world. It breaks away 

 completely from the color range of such 

 hybrids as Mohrson, Ormohr and Elmohr, 

 and for us it has attained a height of 4 

 feet. Thus far it has exhibited complete 

 hardiness in all parts of the country. 



Each $25.00 



VICE REGAL (Trafford) Each $10.00 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada. We have grown it in our 

 garden for two seasons and consider it one of the most richly 

 colored seedlings we have ever tested. The standards and falls are 

 almost identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them 

 appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft marking — a supreme 

 shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with bronze beard. 33 inches 

 tall. Shown on page 22. 



WABASH (Williamson, 1937) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered 

 white — the most striking Amoena of all. Very tall, branched 

 above the middle of the stalk with a profusion of large slightly 

 ruffled blossoms. The color plate on page 1 4 shows this popular 

 Iris in perfect detail. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the 

 Dykes Medal in 1940. 



WEST POINT (Nicholls, 1938) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Standards bright indigo-blue, very broad and well held; falls in- 

 tense indigo-blue with a brownish cast at the haft. The beard is 

 wide and extra heavy, like the epaulets on a blue uniform. A mag- 

 nificent Iris, very late. HM AIS, 1940. 



WHITE CITY (Murrell, 1939) Each $4.00 



Dykes Medal Winner in England in 1940. An immense flower 

 of blue-white, with deeper blue flush at the heart. A stalwart 

 grower, the great flowers possessing a silken finish and ice cold 

 effect. AM AIS, 1945. 



WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant, 1943) Each $12.50 



A large porcelain-white with blue at the base of the white beard, 

 making the beard appear quite blue. Something new in whites, 

 along the line of And Thou and White City. Almost 4 feet in 

 height, quite early. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. 



WM. MOHR (Mohr, 1925) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



The entire bloom is a self of pale rosy lilac closely netted and 

 veined deep violet, producing a weird, yet very lovely effect. 

 A monster flower of medium height, with small foliage. Does bet- 

 ter if divided and transplanted at least every other year. 



WORTHINGTON (Cook, 1943) Each $6.00 



Harmonious bicolor of great size and pleasing rosy red effect, the 

 color particularly clear and bright. Of strong growth, three feet 

 in height. Brighter than the old but popular Ethel Peckham, with 

 cleaner haft and much larger blossoms.
