A few years ago the Sass's gave us this lovely 

 apple blossom pink — a pink so pale and delicate that 

 it is almost a tinted v^^hite. It still stands as one of 

 the really excellent things in fine iris, and at tlie 

 present very low price no one should be witliout it. 



Each 35c ; three for 90c 



Cinnabar | 



Wonderfully rich, deep purple, medium size flow- 

 ers oil tall stems. Each 75c 



CiTRONELLA 



Truly one of the finest garden irises, with bril- 

 liant yellow standards, and falls of the same color 

 heavily stained carmine. Quite tall. Each 25c 



Clara Noyes 



A lovely warm lilend from Hans Sass. At the time 

 of my visit to~ his garden in 1930 I selected this as 

 my favorite, and was equally impressed again last 

 season. It was the favorite of all visitors to our own 

 planting last May, and all of our available stock was 

 quickly sold out. The coloring is a medley of peach 

 and apricot tones, suggesting perhaps the rich and 

 brilliant blendings of the rose "Talisman". Sher- 

 man Duffy says of it: "Perhaps the most strikingly 

 colored of all the new irises I saw this year and one ; 

 that attracted attention wherever shown. A very 

 brilliant and beautiful iris that everyone wanted at 

 sight." See reproduction on page 13.

Classic 



This was a "find" in the writer's trip through 

 the mid-AVest in 1930. A gorgeous thing of the Asia 

 type, of Dominion form and texture, with wide, flar- 

 ing falls, and a stiff, cane-like stem. The huge stan- 

 dards appear to be fashioned out of gold leaf, gradu- 

 ally shading to reddisli-lavender in the upper por- 

 tion. The beard and center of the floAver glows so 

 vividly that Mr. Grinter, the hybridizer, says that 

 when he looks into it, it almost seems to be alive. 

 Classic is distinctly different from the average run 

 of introductions, and we heartily recommend it. 



Each $4.00 



Columbine 



Introduced as a white Aphrodite, one of the 

 parents. As clean and clear as a crystal, Avith lovely 

 form, slender branching stems, this free flowering 

 white is distinct from all other white irises, and as a 

 result it was awarded the silver medal at the English 

 Iris Society's exhibit in London in 1930. Columbine 

 is a very fast multiplier, our own stock increasing 

 about 50 to one in three years. 



Each $2.50 



Coronation 



For those who do not feel like investing in the 

 newer yellows offered in this list because of the 

 higher cost, Ave sincerely recommend Coronation. It 

 is a uniform deep yelloAV, absolutely hardy, doesn't 

 fade, and compares Avell Avith irises of recent intro- 

 duction in other colors. Our large stock has been 

 built up to meet the demand Avhich Ave felt sure 

 Avould come Avhen groAvers realized the value of this 

 yelloAv. Each $1.00; three for $2.00 



DAUNTLESS 



Coppersmith 



A very tall and robust iris Avith large floAvers of 

 copper-bronze, overlaid Avith velvety red. 



Each 50c"; three for $1.00 



Crown Prince 



For years Dr. Kleinsorge has been Avorking for a 

 true variegata Avith giant size. Dominion form, and 

 on a tall and well branched stem. CroAvn Prince is 

 a supreme achievement, and no other variegata seen 

 in the four corners of the country compares with it. 

 The standards are a solid deep orange-yelloAV, the 

 falls solid velvety broAvnish-red. CroAvn Prince has 

 every desired characteristic. It is the variegata that 

 not only the Doctor has been looking for, but every 

 other iris connoisseur as Avell. Very fcAv plants. 



Each $15.00 



Dauntless 



The peer of all red irises, a Dykes medal Avinner 

 in America, and certainly one of the finest things 

 ever introduced. The blooms are of great size, on 

 tall stems, and floAver over a long season. In color 

 Dauntless appears much redder than most other so- 

 called red irises, due partly to the fact that it carries 

 a mixture of orange and brown in its pigment and 

 very little blue or purple. Across the garden it gloAVs 

 like firi'. 



Each $3.00; three for $8.00
