Vert-Galant 



Brilliant coppery red. with copper-fawn stand- 

 ards. A o-iant sort that has the habit of putting up 

 from two to fonr hui'e stalks from each rhizome. The 

 falls are edged with the lighter fawn color of the 

 standards, and the haft is beautifully marked with 

 cream and brown. This variety is not only a striking 

 exhibition flower, but it has extra good carrying 

 quality, and the four-foot spikes dominate the gar- 

 den. Another Dykes medal winner. Each $2.50 



Wambliska 



The huge white self, raised by Jacob Sass of 

 Omaha, Nebraska. Few irises in existence are larger 



Venus De Milo 



Out of perhai)s a dozen superb whites, all 

 large, tall, and in varying degrees of purity and 

 color, this one has been selected as the best. It 

 is an absolutely clear white, of a warm creamy 

 tone, with a yellow beard. In size it is much 

 larger than any hardy white we have seen, with 

 exception of Wambliska, which has a distinct 

 blue flush in the standards. VENUS DE MII^O 

 has petals of extra heavy texture; in fact, it 

 stood up better in a 90-degree sun than any 

 other iris in our garden. H. M. 1932. 



Each $1.50; three for $4.00 



in size, and it flowers abundantly on four-foot 

 sturdy stems. A faint blue flush at the base of the 

 standards gives it a cool appearance, rather than 

 the warm effect of creamy whites like Purissima, 

 Michelline Charriere, etc. 



H. M. AIS 1931. Each $1.50 



Wedgewood 



Solid wedgewood blue, with Avhite beard. A very 

 effective iris where a real blue tone is desired. 



Each 25c ; three for 50c 



White & Gold 



Glistening, satin}^ white, lit hy the bright golden 

 beard — the only other color in it. Tall and free. 



Each 35c 



Winneshiek 



A gigantic blue-black of smooth finish, extra 

 heavy substance, and very broad segments. Ranks 

 with the finest imported novelties. Each $3.00 



Wm. Mohr 



This strange and beautiful hybrid is named for 

 one of the world's most famous hybridizers, and is 

 considered as his greatest piece of work. The entire 

 bloom is a self color of pale lilac, closely netted and 

 veined with deep violet, producing a Aveird, yet very 

 lovely effect. In some ways it resembles the variety 

 "Susiana". but lacks the dullness of this older sort, 

 and is not at all difficult to grow. A monster flower, 

 produced on stems iip to 30 inches tall. 



Each 50c; three for $1.00 



W. R. Dykes 



No iris has come to us from any source that has 

 carried greater advance publicity, and it is doubtful 

 if any has created as much comment. Here is a yel- 

 low iris that ranks with the very largest in size, with 

 heavy crepey texture, and a color of richest golden- 

 yellow. The falls are usually stained and streaked 

 lightly with purple. In some flowers this is not evi- 

 dent at all, but the beauty of the blossom is not 

 marred in the least. It has flowered well in almost 

 every section of the country, but it does demand per- 

 fect drainage. Cold temperatures do not seem to 

 harm the plant. A great novelty. Very limited stock. 



Each $5.00 



Yolande 



Of the Mme. Gaudichau type, being both larger 

 and taller, with exceptionally fine falls. Each 25c 



Zaharoon 



One of the most unusual in color in this entire 

 list, a blend of soft amber, buff, yellow, fawn and 

 pale violet. The combined effect has been referred to 

 as "biscuit" colored. Each $5.00 



ZUNI 



A glorious, glowing red-brown, overlaid with 

 a coppery suffusion. Very early, but with so 

 many buds to the stalk that it lasts well into 

 the season. The falls are a brilliant red when 

 seen with the sun's rays through them, and the 

 standards seem as if sprinkled with gold dust. 

 Large in size, well branched, and about 40 

 inches in height. See cut on page 23. 



Each $2.00 ; three for $5.00
