PRAIRIE ROSE Each $1.50 



A very new thing in fresh pink, with silvery 

 shadows. Originated in Wisconsin, by the man who 

 gave us the unique variety Winneshiek. This is 

 priced most reasonably for such a recent introduction. 



PRESIDENT PILKINGTON 



Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



A very lovely pastel blend, which at one time 

 bore the appropriate name of "Apparition". When 

 Mr. Mead saw it blooming in France, he described 

 the color as "a lavender-blue elephant tone", suf- 

 fused with bronze. A huge flower, the stalks splen- 

 didly branched to 4 feet tall. 



Standards are pale buff, with faint bluish and 

 slightly rosy cast. Falls, wide and flaring lavender- 

 blue with buffy yellow suffusion paling at the mar- 

 gins. Beard golden yellow. See page 18. 



PURISSIMA Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



If you live in the Pacific Northwest, in California 

 or in the South, by all means add this glorious white 

 to your collection! Nothing that grows can compare 

 with it when flowered under congenial conditions. 

 Growers in colder and wetter sections of the coun- 

 try can also succeed with it, but it must hove win- 

 ter protection except in warm climates. A normally 

 flowered stalk of Purissima is a never-to-be-forgot- 

 ten sight. 



RADIANT Each $15.00 



Standards of burnished golden bronze, falls of 

 glowing copper red, as bright in comparison with 

 other iris of today as King Midas was rich among the 

 iris available when it was first released. Of medium 

 size and height, perfect form, inestimable garden 

 value. Incidentally, it bloomed again in the fall in 

 1936, and also in 1937. Very few rhizomes for sale. 



RAMESES Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



A symphony in rose, pink and buff, shading to 

 yellow near the edges, and with a yellow glow at the 

 heart. Heavy apricot beard. This fine hardy iris was 

 originated in Nebraska by the Sass Brothers, and was 

 so universally outstanding that it received the Dykes 

 Medal in 1932. The big flowers are very freely pro- 

 duced, late, on 36-inch stalks. See page 38. 



REBELLION Each $7.50; 3 for $20.00 



Glowing deep blood red, almost a duplicate of 

 Burning Bronze except that the coloring is far more 

 vivid. Introduced last season, it is described and 

 shown in color on page 31. 



RED CROSS Each $3.00 



Striking combination of rose-red and white, intro- 

 duced this year. See page 6. 



RED DOMINION Each 60c; 3 for $1.25 



Luxurious red velvet, the shade of a glass of fine 

 wine with the light through it. The opening buds are 

 almost black, and the full blown flowers possess a 

 depth and richness unequalled in any other red iris. 

 One of Dr. Ayres' masterpieces. See page 27. 



RED ROBE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



An enormous bloom of perfect shape and habit. 

 Standards deep petunia-violet, domed. Falls deep red- 

 violet, uniformly colored to the edge. Yellow beard. 

 The flower is of splendid rounded shape, a brilliant, 

 glowing iris that lights up in the garden like a huge 

 ruby. H. M. AIS 1932. 



ROBERT Each $2.00 



Somehow we have overlooked this in prior years. 

 Last season we saw it in several Eastern gardens 

 and it was extra fine. An iris of perfect shape and 

 smooth substance, a chamois colored self, or perhaps 

 a yellow-tan would better describe it. Near the haft 

 there is a very light suggestion of pale blue. H. M. 

 AIS 1936. Height 3 feet. 



ROSE DOMINION Each 50c 



Rose-pink of great depth of tone, of Dominion form 

 and substance, and one of the few pink or rose col- 

 ored iris with a velvety surface on the falls. Not new, 

 but our stock is limited. 



ROSY WINGS Each $12.00 



Among the two or three top-most introductions 

 during the past two years. A blend of rose and cop- 

 per, with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, 40- 

 inch stems. One of the few new colors developed in 

 iris in recent years. Very few rhizomes for sale. 



RUBEO Each 60c; 3 for $1.25 



An outstanding red from California, of huge size, 

 excellent branching habit, and four feet in height. 

 Standards are deep glistening rose, falls deep 

 maroon of heavy velvety texture. The finest red 

 among Mohr-Mitchell introductions. 



SACRAMENTO Each 35c; 3 for 75c 



A plicata of the San Francisco type, but with red- 

 dish brown dots and reticulations instead of the usual 

 blue or lavender. Ground color is a creamy white. 

 A very tall varietv, the large flowers being produced 

 on well branched stems. It is probably even more 

 dependable in unfavorable climates than are many 

 of the other California productions. 



SANDALWOOD Each $15.00 



A new fawn-brown blend, showing quite a re- 

 semblance to our own introduction Far West. We 

 have only a few rhizomes and have not seen it 

 blooming sufficiently to give an accurate description. 



SANDIA Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Bright deep pink blend, unusual with a smoky 

 veil. An Ohio iris critic, nationally known and whose 

 opinion everyone respects, wrote us that it was one 

 of the three or four finest things he saw in 1935. The 

 blooms are large, and the stems grow to 40 inches in 

 height. 



SAN FRANCISCO Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



A four-foot white with penciled edge of lavender 

 blue. Has been awarded the Dykes Medal of the 

 American Iris Society, and still stands at the head of 

 all plicatas, unsurpassed in size and grandeur. Plen- 

 tiful stock now permits us to offer it at a most attrac- 

 tive price.
