^ / I Doub, 1938 



It is so seldom that a good new intermedi- 

 ate puts in its appearance that we offer 

 this one with considerable enthusiasm. 

 Several years ago Mr. Doub^ of Hagers- 

 town, Maryland, sent this to us for trial, 

 and every spring it has tried to outdo itself 

 with a wealth of bright blossoms. The falls 

 are smooth and flaring, creamy with ivory 

 center; standards are creamy white with 

 golden flecks, very foamy in effect. No 

 other intermediate resembles it, and we 

 are certain that it will be a very happy 

 companion to tulips and other flowers of 

 early spring. Height 20 inches. 



Each $2.00, three for $5.00. 



Fall blooming irises have been rapidly coming 

 into prominence, especially with the advent of new 

 colors and better varieties. 



Time was when any old iris, no matter how lack- 

 ing in form, clarity of color, or other desirable 

 features, was in popular demand if it exhibited fall 

 blooming tendencies. 



These should make a fine addition to anyone's 

 Autumn garden. They are the latest vogue in irisdom. 



Cosette, Ivory Elf and Red Orchid are NOT fall 

 bloomers. 



AUTUMN DAWN Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



Fall bloomer of blended old gold and pink — cer- 

 tainly an advance in this type. In California, where 

 it originated, it blooms almost continuously from 

 August through the winter, commencing again in 

 April. Height, two feet. Very rapid increaser, in no 

 way tender. 



COSETTE Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Newly introduced by the Sass Brothers in 1936, 

 Cosette is offered as a fine, large, broad petaled white 

 intermediate with every good point. 



ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Deep fluorite purple self, with very rich falls. The 

 opening flower is almost black, and the heavy blue 

 beard tends to increase the depth of color. This is 

 the leading fall-blocming iris in commerce today, be- 

 cause it increases very fast, is most reliable in flower- 

 ing habit, and is one of the most beautiful irises in 

 the garden regardless of its added value as a re- 

 bloomer. 



FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 

 A sure-fire fall bloomer, but not very rapid of in- 

 crease. Tall, well branched, bright red purple in 

 color, with blue blaze on the falls. 



FROST QUEEN Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Frosty white, exceptionally free bloomer, and of 

 perfect form. This has proven very dependable as a 

 re-bloomer in Kansas, Nebraska, and Tennessee, as 

 well as on the Pacific Coast. A succession of new 

 bloom stalks follow each other throughout the fall. 



GOLDEN HARVEST Each 50c 



Standards olive yellow, tinted blue at the base; 

 falls citron yellow, tinted blue near the haft. This 

 introduces a bright and cheerful note in the fall gar- 

 den, and is the one yellow autumn flowering iris that 

 is obtainable at a low price. 



MARTIE EVEREST Each $2.00 



A tall and very well branched fall bloomer, the 

 best blue autumn flowering variety. 



OCTOBER BLAZE Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A fine big glowing red, along the lines of Indian 

 Chief, but it is a persistent autumn bloomer. Much 

 brighter in color than October Opera and larger in 

 size. 



OCTOBER OPERA Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A new color in autumn flowering sorts, a rich 

 wine-red. It is brighter than the old Opera, much 

 larger, and is also taller. This is a fine grower, and in 

 the fall in our garden it was covered with flowers. Of 

 course it also blooms in the spring, with the inter- 

 mediates. 



RED ORCHID Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Very early flowering intermediate, glowing like a 

 coal of fire in the morning and evening light. Deep 

 red in effect, violet-carmine technically, it is so recent 

 as to be hardly known as yet but is certain to be 

 popular when the public has seen it in flower. Height 

 28 inches. 



SOUTHLAND Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The Sass Brothers have given us most of our 

 autumn flowering irises, and now we are indebted to 

 them for this fine big yellow. The color is deep lemon 

 chrome, with flowers of large size and thick heavy 

 substance. Flaring falls and domed standards, the 

 stems low branched. Vigorous in growth, two feet tall.
