PHEBUS Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



Clear lemon yellow, an exceedingly rapid increas- 

 er, and one of the most popular of the newer yellow 

 irises. Fine rounded flowers, over three feet tall, wHh 

 much branching. A good companion to Pluie d'Or, 

 with its contrasting shade. 



PICADOR Each 85c; 3 for $2.00 



Standards of tarnished gold, falls brilliant carmine 

 red. A bold, strong growing and perfectly fashioned 

 iris reaching four feet in height. Classed as a varie- 

 gata it is really a blend of gold and crimson, so good 

 that we stocked up heavily on it anticipating that our 

 customers would welcome this opportunity to secure 

 such an outstanding flower at so low a price. 



PINK OPAL Each 75c; 3 for $1.75 



A sister seedling of Pink Satin, of much greater 

 size and half again as tall. The blossoms are lilac- 

 pink, self colored, and abundantly produced, al- 

 though the tall stems are short branched. However, 

 the blooms appear all along the stalks, so that the 

 lack of branches is not apparent in the garden pic- 

 ture. Very beautiful, and a bargain at the price. 



PINK SATIN Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Jacob Sass raised dozens of excellent pink seed- 

 lings, and this one was deemed as most outstanding 

 of all. The color is a very delicate and smooth, yet 

 glistening and brilliant, pink without the usual rose 

 or purplish cast. The stalks are tall and slender, with 

 blooms of large size. Very rapid of increase, and of 

 course perfectly hardy. 



PLUIE D'OR (Golden Rain) Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A beautiful iris, on slender, perfectly branched 

 stems well over three feet tall. Fine rounded flowers 

 of solid golden yellow, with deep yellow beard. Win- 

 ner of the Dykes medal in France, it has proven an 

 outstanding variety of this color both in Europe and 

 America, reliable as to hardiness, rapid of increase, 

 and very free flowering. 



PRESIDENT PILKINGTON Each 65c; 3 for $1.50 



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 buffv yellow suffusion paling at the mar- 

 gins. Beard golden yellow. See page 20. 



PURISSIMA Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



If you live in the Pacific Northwest, in California 

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

 to vour 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 have win- 

 ter protection exceot in warm climates. A normally 

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

 ten sight. 



RADIANT Each $20.00 



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 last autumn 

 in our gardens, but perhaps this will not occur reg- 

 ularly. Very few rhizomes for sale. 



RAMESES Each 40c: 3 for 9Qc 



A symphony in rose, pink and bulf, 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 39. 



RED DOMINION Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 24. 



RED ORCHID Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



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. 



RED ROBE Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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. 



REDWING Each 30c 



One of the Sass varieties in bright reddish-brown. 

 A perfectly formed flower of splendid size, three feet 

 in height, of unquestioned hardiness and reliability. 



RHEINGAUPERLE Each 35c; 3 for $1.00 



A pink of the utmost beauty and distinction. To 

 see it is to want it. Petals are edged with silver. 



RHEINTOCHTER Each 50c 



There is a dearth of irises with white standards 

 and blue falls, but this ranks at the very top. The 

 falls are edged with white, lending a gay note. This 

 is the tallest as well as the largest in this color group, 

 and in addition is a vigorous grower. 



ROSY WINGS Each $20.00 



Among the two or three top-most introductions 

 seen for the first time last year. A blend of rose and 

 copper, w'th 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 $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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.
