Golden JjUjht 



CREOLE BELLE Each $3.00 



A very dark blue purple, with odd brownish stain 

 about the hafts. Individual in effect, of large size and 

 excellent habits. One of the recent things from Col. 

 Nicholls, awarded an H. M. in 1936. 



CROWN PRINCE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Finest and richest of Dominion variegatas, with 

 deep orange-yellow standards and falls of dark and 

 velvety red-brown, solid to the edge. A superb iris 

 on the Pacific Coast, it reaches real perfection in 

 New England and the Northern tier of states. Pro- 

 duced by Dr. Kleinsorge, and one of our own well 

 received introductions. See page 19. 



CRYSTAL BEAUTY Each $2.00 



A new white from the Sass Brothers, said by some 

 to be the cleanest white yet produced. It has been 

 highly praised by critics in the Iris Bulletins. Height 

 40 inches. 



DAUNTLESS . Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Probably the most popular and widely known of 

 all so-called red irises. Although we now have sev- 

 eral newer introductions that surpass it, none the less 

 Dauntless remains near the top, and there has never 

 been sufficient stock to supply the demand. The 

 blooms are of great size, on tall heavy stems, and last 

 over a long season. The coloring is rich velvety red, 

 with very little of the blue or purple undertone. A 

 former Dykes medal wmner. See page 39. 



DEPUTE NOMBIOT Each 35c; 3 for 75= 



One of the world's greatest irises, a French intro- 

 duction that has proven extremely popular every- 

 where. Standards light glowing rosy-purple, over- 

 laid bronzy gold. Falls very wide, spreading, pur- 

 plish garnet-red shading to lighter rosy bronze at the 

 edge. Deep orange beard. Over four feet tall, espe- 

 cially well branched. A Dykes Medal winner in 

 France. Photograph on page 17. 



DESERET Each $3.50 



Here is a "brushed" variegata, a flower quite 

 apart from others of this class, creating a red-orange 

 tone in the garden. As exciting and gay as a gypsy 

 carnival, says the introducer. Standards are very 

 deep yellow, falls the same heavily brushed chestnut 

 red. 



DESERT GOLD Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Among the earliest of the tall bearded group. An 

 extremely large, fine formed, smooth clear yellow. 

 Standards are nicely domed, pure light yellow. Falls 

 are extra broad, pure yellow with very rich yellow 

 beard. It certainly is deserving of a position among 

 the best new introductions. Plant a clump in front of 

 several clumps of Santa Barbara — they bloom to- 

 gether, and what a picture! H. M. AIS 1931; A. M. 

 1932. 



DESTINY Each $7.50 



From New Zealand. A great heavy flower of deep- 

 est blackish bronzv purple, with rich golden beard. 

 If you think the ultimate has been reached in such 

 colors, wait untU you see this one and Directeur 

 Pinelle . . . they are both real surprises! 



DIRECTEUR PINELLE Each $5.00 



Among the arrivals from France in recent years 

 this ranks near the top. Few iris are of greater size, 

 with such splendid form and branching habit. The 

 color is richest maroon purple, with bronzy under- 

 tone. Newly opened blossoms are almost black. 



DOGROSE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A very beautiful, superb pink iris, with very large 

 oval shaped flowers in a uniform shade of soft rose- 

 pink, with deep gold beard. The stalks are almost 

 shoulder high, and it is a profuse bloomer. This vari- 

 ety will show up to best advantage after it has be- 

 come established a full year. Winner of a silver 

 medal in England. Small rhizomes. Shov/n in color 

 on page 22. 



DOLLY MADISON Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



Blend of mauve and grey, with very bright orange 

 and yellow center. It is of large size, with fine stems, 

 hardy anywhere. Without doubt one of the best irises 

 ever originated and one of the most popular in this 

 country. See cut on page 38.
