TARANTELLA Each 40c 



A pink stitched plicata, taller and larger 

 than older varieties of this type. Ground 

 color is snow white, neatly marked with 

 pinkish lines about the edges of both falls 

 and standards. Slightly ruffled. 



TENAYA Each 25c 



An extremely dark and glowing uniform 

 red-purple, with brownish undertone. 

 Gives a color effect somewhat like Wotan, 

 but the flower is rounded in shape and 

 without haft venation. The richness is 

 emphasized by the brown-golcl beard. 



THE BLACK DOUGLAS Each 35c 



Large blackish purple of even tone, dif- 

 ferent in its "black" effect as compared to 

 Black Wings in that it is on the red- 

 purple side instead of being blue-purple, 

 as in the case of the latter. Medium 

 height, fine form, and very velvety sur- 

 face. 



THE RED DOUGLAS Each $4.00 



Possibly more glamour was attached to 

 the introduction of this variety than any 

 iris in recent years. Simply colossal in size, 

 as smooth and heavy as a piece of richest 

 plush. It is deep rosy-wine-red, solid at 

 the haft, with a brownish cast near the 

 center, beard rich orange. It is not the 

 reddest iris by any means, but the color- 

 ing is gorgeously rich and deep, and most 

 critics agree that it ranks as one of the 

 ten best iris in commerce. Shown on page 

 13. 



TIFFANY Each $4.00 



The third member of that great Sass 

 plicata trio, the others being Orloff and 

 Siegfried. It is soft yellow in color, with 

 stitchings of bronzy-pinkish-violet, if you 

 can imagine such a combination. Less 

 formal in appearance than Siegfried, and 

 gives a yellow rather than a creamy-tan 

 garden effect. Very large, ruffled, vigorous 

 growing, and reasonably tall. Shown in 

 natural color on page 20. 



TOKEN Each $5.00 



Many qualified critics have seen this new 

 iris and the usual pronouncement is "a 

 glorified Mary Gecldes." Carrying much 

 of thesamesalmony-orange-brown blended 

 effect, Token is a far finer individual 

 flower — larger, of better form, and with 

 smoothly colored falls. Standards are old 

 gold flushed rose, falls rosy brown-red, 

 with very little haft venation. It does not 

 fade and is a husky grower, 38 inches tall, 

 with blooms having a 7-inch spread. A 

 1939 introduction from David Hall, of 

 Chicago, shown on page 20. 



TREASURE ISLAND Each $2.00 



A truly gigantic flower of bright, clear, 

 rich yellow. Tall stems, not a trace of 

 Dykes blood in its parentage, hardiness 

 beyond question. This fine iris never 

 shows a trace of purple flecking, a fault 

 which often crops out in many otherwise 

 excellent yellows, nor is it marred by an 

 olive cast, another shortcoming of a few- 

 others. The colored plate on page 10 is an 

 accurate reproduction. 



ULTRA Each 25c 



Largest iris in the early blooming dwarf 

 group, and one of the bluest of all var- 

 ieties. It is most striking when planted 

 with yellow and white dwarf irises, or with 

 yellow primroses. A fall bloomer, besides, 

 and it increases rapidly. 



VENUS DE MILO Each 25c 



Pure white, of a warm creamy tone, with 

 no haft markings and a bright yellow 

 beard. The most popular white iris in 

 commerce; a splendid grower and free 

 bloomer, it well deserves the honor of 

 runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1936. 

 Three feet tall, well branched. 



VICTORY Each $5.00 



A striking violet-purple of great size and 

 excellent form on 44-inch very strong 

 stems. A richly colored self, with incon- 

 spicuous blue beard. Standards are domed 

 and the widely flaring- falls are devoid of 

 haft markings. David Hall, the originator, 

 says this iris is especially admired by men. 



VISION Each 40c 



A large variegata with bright yellow stan- 

 dards and rich red-brown falls, margined 

 yellow. When well grown this can be re- 

 markably striking. It seldom does its best 

 the first season. 



WABASH Each $2.00 



A new iris so far in advance of others of 

 similar coloring that they are simply not 

 in the race. With clean white standards 

 and bright purple falls, it might have been 

 called "Elk's Temple," so well does it 

 call to mind the colors of that well-known 

 fraternal organization. The flowers are 

 large and are borne on well branched 

 stalks almost forty inches in height. 

 Picture on page 1 8. 



WASATCH Each 50c 



The largest plicata and one of the largest 

 of all irises. Of the San Francisco type, 

 with huge standards and very broad falls, 

 blue stitching at the edges. 



WAVERLY Each $3.00 



A 40-inch clear light blue, highly com- 

 mended by all judges who have seen it. 

 It is very early in the tall bearded class, 

 clean in color, with widely flaring falls and 

 nice branching. 



WM. MOHR ^ Each 25c 



The entire bloom is a self of pale lilac, 

 closely netted and veined deep violet, 

 producing a weird, yet very lovely effect. 

 A monster flower, of medium height, with 

 small foliage. Does better if divided and 

 transplanted at least every other year. 



WAR EAGLE Each 25c 



One of the largest irises ever produced, it 

 will often carry away honors for the big- 

 gest bloom in the show. Deep mulberry 

 red, with prominent haft markings and 

 yellow beard.
