KALINGA Each $3.50; 3 for $9.00 



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 page 17. H. M. 1936. 



KEEPSAKE Each 75c 



New type of dwarf iris introduced last year by 

 the Longfield Iris Farm, originated by Paul Cook. 

 This one is of brightest yellow, with slender, graceful 

 stems bearing from one to three flowers, 12 inches 

 tall. Fountain like foliage, with an amazing number 

 • of flower stems per plant. Limited stock. 



KING JUBA Each 60c 



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 KARL Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A dotted and sanded plicata in apricot tones, with 

 specks of brown and red, giving it a unique and 

 attractive effect. A large flower; late. 



KING MIDAS Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



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 SOLOMON Each 50c 



Stock of this we imported from England, heralded 

 as a giant and improved Dominion. It is a monster 

 flower, of very dark bluish purple, but not of the 

 typical Dominion shape. 



KING TUT Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



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. 



KLAMATH Each 50c 



A great, heavily textured, perfectly formed flower 

 in tones of deep mulberry, bronze and brown. Not 

 brill iant, but remarkably rich and sombre, suggest- 

 ing a rare antique or valuable old tapestry. 



LADY PARAMOUNT Each $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. See page 18. 



LARGO Each 75c; 3 for $1.75 



A harmony of wax yellow, mustard yellow, and 

 citron yellow, perfectly branched and lasting over a 

 long period. Falls are delicately overlaid mauve. 

 The photograph on page 25 clearly indicates the 

 great freedom of bloom of this iris. Especially telling 

 in bright sunshine. 



LEGEND Each 65c; 3 for $1.50 



A huge flower 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 23. 



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 35c; 3 for 90c 



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. 



LUCREZIA BORI Each $15.00 



Giant new yellow which created lively comment 

 at the Nashville Iris Show a couple of years ago. 

 The thick petalled blooms are decidedly flaring in 

 form, with heavily curled standards of richest yellow. 

 Falls are also very rich yellow, with a warm olive 

 cast on the haft. Growth is extremely vigorous, the 

 stalks reaching 3V2 feet. 



MABEL TAFT Each 75c; 3 for $1.75 



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. The 

 group of about a dozen clumps pictured on page 22 

 was a real attention getter in our display garden. 



MAGENTA Each 40c 



Very deep amethyst-violet, a shade not compar- 

 able to any other iris. Very free blooming, with 

 flowers better than average size. Th^s is another 

 variety which makes a grand showing on a two-year 

 clump, and especially when planted adjacent to pink 

 or yellow.
