JERRY Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Raised by Mr. E. G. Lapham, Elkhart, Indiana. 

 We take particular pleasure in being numbered 

 among the joint introducers of this perfectly formed, 

 extremely brilliant red iris. Mr. Lapham has a splen- 

 did reputation for quality in his previous introduc- 

 tions, and enthusiasts will find that Jerry is very 

 close to the reddest thing ever turned out in an iris. 

 Not only that, but the large rounded flowers are as 

 near perfection as could be desired. Height three 

 feet, rapid of increase, hardiness unquestioned. We 

 recommend it whole-heartedly. 



JOYCETTE Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Red, that is, as red as any iris we have and with 

 both standards and falls in identical tones. This is o 

 fine grower, with tall sturdy stalks and extra large 

 flowers. Some critics declare this better and redder 

 than Ethel Peckham; they are somewhat similar, 

 Joycette undoubtedly being the taller of the two. 

 No doubt but that this ranks with the leading intro- 

 ductions to date. We have a wonderful stock of it. 



JUNALUSKA Each $4.00; 3 for $10.00 



One of the finest novelties in commerce today, a 

 unique blend of red, copper, and rose. A member of 

 the trio of especially worthwhile things produced by 

 the Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Dr. J. H. 

 Kirkland, the other two being Copper Lustre and At 

 Dawning. This flower possesses tremendous garden 

 value with its glowing copper-red effect, and leaves 

 nothing to be desired in the way of size, height or 

 form. 



K. V. AYRES Each $1.50 



Very pale coffee color, tinged lavender and cream. 

 A huge soft blend with very tall stems and heavy 

 foliage. This iris was named by Dr. Ayres in honor 

 of his wife, a sure sign that he regarded it most 

 highly. 



KALINGA Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Huge cream self, outstanding not only as an exhi- 

 bition spike, but as a garden specimen as well. The 

 broad, spreading, ivory textured blooms generally 

 come out in groups of three or four simultaneously, 

 and each stem will carry from twelve to fifteen flow- 

 ers, with perfect spacing. An offspring of Dolly 

 Madison, its hardiness is beyond question. Four feet 

 in height. Illustrated on pages 16 and 34. H. M. 1936. 



KING JUBA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Clear golden standards and brilliantly contrast- 

 ing falls of velvety red, the latter especially wide and 

 heavy of texture. A red and yellow effect as com- 

 pared with the orange and brown of Crown Prince. 



KING MIDAS Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



One of the first of the tall bearded irises to flower. 

 Of a soft and bewitching tone of golden buff overlaid 

 garnet brown. The heavy beard is deepest orange, 

 and the entire center of the bloom is illuminated with 

 intense golden lights. Perfect in every detail. Medium 

 in height. 



KING TUT Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



One of the inherent qualities of the many new 

 Sass irises is the element of rich red-brown in the 

 various color schemes. This has been accomplished 

 through the use of King Tut in the various crosses, 

 and in spite of his almost countless progeny, the 

 King still remains the most brilliant of all, blazing in 

 the sunlight like a live ember. Easy to grow, a free 

 flowerer. Every iris grower should have it. 



LADY PARAMOUNT Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



The sensational new seedling of the famous vari- 

 ety W. R. Dykes. A really magnificent flower in clear 

 primrose yellow, with firm silken texture. It is one 

 of the most stupendous in size and foliage in our 

 collection. 



We have several reports of excellent success in 

 Nebraska, Ohio, and New England, where this iris 

 was grown the past season. Not nearly so deeply 

 colored as either California Gold or Happy Days, it 

 is nonetheless one of the most beautiful varieties we 

 have ever flowered, and will take its place among 

 the best. 



LEGEND Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A huge flovvrer of the Cardinal type; rich deep 

 claret falls, seemingly of pure velvet, and standards 

 of deep blue, slightly bronzed. The color combination 

 is a bit like that in Sir Michael, although Legend is 

 considerably darker all around. The flowers are en- 

 livened by a heavy gold beard. Here is one of the 

 largest and most majestic irises in commerce today, 

 with every possible good point, and the price is rea- 

 sonable for such a new introduction. From the Ware- 

 ham collection in Cincinnati. One of Schreiner's "100 

 Super-Iris". Shown on page 20. 



LIGHTHOUSE Each $7.50 



A very bright rose blend, of bold growing habit 

 with enormous blossoms. In effect an old rose self 

 with a most brilliant center of yellow and fiery gold. 

 Among the hundreds of new iris seen on our trip last 

 season this struck us as among the outstanding half- 

 dozen. A California production, but being a seedling 

 of Helios X Rameses its hardiness is assured. It was 

 particularly fine in New England. 



LODESTAR Each 35c 



One of the last to flower, this bright combination 

 of glittering yellow standards and very dark brown- 

 ish falls is a real "high light" in any garden. Flowers 

 are of perfect formation, lavishly produced. Height 

 about two and a half feet. Very small rhizomes al- 

 ways. 



LOS ANGELES Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Sister seedling of the wonderful plicata San Fran- 

 cisco. A giant in size, snowy white, with faint edg- 

 ings of lavender-blue. Splendid stalks were on ex- 

 hibit in the St. Paul iris show, and it was growing 

 and blooming lustily in the Schreiner garden in that 

 city, indicating that it is really quite hardy when 

 once acclimated. 



MABEL TAFT Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Wonderful giant blue, with velvety falls. A can- 

 didate for "the world's largest iris", the stalks tower- 

 ing to almost five feet in some instances, and with the 

 largest foliage of any bearded iris we have.
