Dr. Kleinsoi-ge and Oriiiohr 



MRS. HERBERT HOOVER Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



One of the new pink or near-pink varieties. The 

 standards are old rose, lightly tinged with bronze, 

 and are broad and ruffled. Falls are a deeper rose, 

 with midrib of turquoise blue. The center of the 

 flower is lit with a most brilliant beard and style 

 arms. Exceptionally free flowering and rapid of in- 

 crease. Stems are tall and well branched. In a class 

 with Frivolite and Marquisette; between the two in 

 general color effect. 



MRS. VALERIE WEST Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



The rich brown-reds of Bruno and the plush crim- 

 son of Cardinal combined into one gigantic flower — 

 the crowning achievement of the great Bliss, who 

 gave us Dominion and the long line of its famous 

 progeny. The broad foliage is handsomely curved, 

 lending a distinctive note, and the heavy stalks are 

 widely branched. The enormous blossoms are pro- 

 duced in great profusion, completing all the desirable 

 features anyone could ask for in a truly world famous 

 iris. 



MUSSOLINI Each $5.00 



A very long, egg-shaped deep purple, with heavy 

 reticulation on the haft. Of great size and imposing 

 appearance in the garden. An English silver medal 

 winner. 



NARAIN Each $5.00 



A brand new blue introduced by Quality Gardens 

 in 1936. Has a silky texture, cream throat, and blue 

 beard tipped soft yellow. 



NARANJA Each $8.00; 3 for $20.00 



The leading introduction from Sidney Mitchell 

 during the past two seasons, and'the first iris of huge 

 size with a definite orange tone. Taller even than 

 Happy Days, and practically as large. The falls are 

 ochraceous orange, with a yellow heart, and the 

 standards are bright empire yellow, the beard orange- 

 yellow. 



NEON Each $2.50 



"The bright and shining light of the garden." 

 Thus does the originator, Carl Salbach, describe it. 

 The standards are bronzy gold, the falls bright and 

 velvety carmine red, rich and glowing. The beard is 

 fiery golden orange. 



A perfect example of candelabrum type branch- 

 ing, with 48-inch stalks carrying a heavy quota of 

 blooms and buds. Has been tested and found hardy 

 under severe wintering. 



NOWETA Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A melting creamy pink, exceptionally ruffled, 

 much more so than Midgard, and larger than this 

 popular variety. Stock of Noweta is still very scarce, 

 and as was the case last season, it is likely to be a 

 sell-out before summer is far along. Everyone who 

 sees it wants this frilly, pinky, fluffy-ruffled dainty 

 newcomer. 



OMAHA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange beard, pro- 

 ducing a very striking contrast. Blooms are extra 

 large and of lovely rounded form. The color effect 

 is deep and brilliant pink, rather than red, and the 

 petals have a glistening and fragile appearance, al- 

 though on the contrary they stand up perfectly. 

 Height about 30 inches. 



ORLOFF Each $30.00 



New plicata of good size and most unusual color, 

 being a sort of cinnamon brown in effect. The ground 

 color is deep cream, heavily dotted and etched brown 

 with considerable gold near the center. Along with 

 Siegfried, a great advance step in the plicata group. 

 Stock of both these varieties is extremely limited the 

 country over. They are the first good tall yellow 

 ground plicatas and everyone seems to want them. 



ORMOHR Each $25.00 



Shown on page 9 in fairly accurate color, although 

 the plates are not truly exact. This new seedling of 

 the variety Wm. Mohr drew more attention from iris 

 critics of national prominence last season than any 

 new iris seen on the Pac'fic Coast. It enjoyed the 

 greatest sale in dollars and cents of any iris we have 

 ever introduced, and stock was sold out before luly 

 1st. We have a very limited supply of excellent rhi- 

 zomes again this year, but those ordering late may 

 be disappointed. Full details on page 9.
