GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass, 1941) Each $10.00 



A very deep rose-mahogany, if you can imagine such a color. Called 

 red by some judges, it is nearer garnet, with a deep rose and brown area 

 about the center. It has no haft markings, making it one of the richest 

 and most handsome of all dark irises. Large, with very broad falls, and 

 it blooms quite late. H.M. A.I.S. 1940, A.M. 1943. 



GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, 1943) Each $10.00 



A pure self of rich Bordeaux red. A seedling from Red Douglas crossed 

 with Garden Magic. This is one of the nearest to true red of any of the 

 irises ever flowered in our gardens; pure, deep and rich, with no haft 

 venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished, with deep bronze-gold beard. 

 Height 33 inches. 



GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter, 1936) Each $1.50 



After eight years this continues to hold a place right up front amongst 

 the best of red irises. A very late, very large, and very velvety deep red 

 self, it increases slowly and the demand always exhausts the supply. 

 H.M. A.I.S. 1937. 



GAYOSO (Williams, 1943) Each $10.00 



A most brilliant yellow iris, even more intensely rich and colorful than 

 its parent. Golden Hind. Both standards and falls are slightly frilled. 

 Mr. Williams has been working for years to get a superior yellow out of 

 Golden Hind and this is the pick of the entire lot. 



GLEN ELLEN (Connell, 1939) Each $2.00 



Luminous golden tan with a bronzy suffusion on the falls. Flowers 

 are very large on well branched three-foot stems H.M. A.I.S. 1939. 



GLORIOLE (Gage, 1933) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



An iris of huge size with pale blue petals overlaid with frosty crystal-like 

 particles. Wonderfully well formed and a noble flower. Height 40 inches. 

 Color sometimes called "ice blue." H.M. A.I.S. 1933, A M. 1935. 



GLOWPORT (DeForest, 1939) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Solidly colored glowing wine red, devoid of haft markings, with bronze 

 yellow beard. Introduced in 1939 on its merit as an exceptional red iris, 

 it has now proven to be a most reliable fall bloomer in various parts of 

 the country. Tall and well branched. 



GOLDBEATER (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $10.00 



This is the oft-mentioned yellow of the A.I.S. Bulletins, a solidly 

 colored chrome yellow self that has invariably drawn praise from 

 judges. It is all yellow, deep and bright, without markings or blendings 

 of any kind and the buds themselves are like gobs of deep yellow paint. 

 A good grower, fast increaser, and will make a glorious garden display. 

 Large flowers, three feet tall, excellent branching. Sold short last season. 



GOLDEN EAGLE (D. Hall, 1942) Each $3.50 



Brilliant light yellow, with a satiny sheen. One of the largest of all 

 irises, it is clear even yellow throughout, without a trace of amber or 

 other shadings. A rapid increaser and easy grower, Mr. Hall considers 

 it one of the best he has ever turned out. H.M. A.I.S. 1942. 



GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass, 1940) Each $10.00 



Since the reader might suppose from the name that this iris is another 

 deep yellow, we call special attention to the fact that it is actually a 

 lemon-colored flower, with creamy falls edged gold — wholly unlike any 

 other yellow iris. It is beautifully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good 

 grower. At Nashville, during the A.I.S. meeting in 1941, it stood out as 

 one of the most noteworthy of all new introductions. H.M. A.I.S. 1940, 

 A.M. 1942. 



GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn, 1934) Each 40c ; 3 for $1 .00 



The deepest golden yellow of all. Of medium size and height, with 

 horizontal falls, it is the yellow used as a standard by most breeders in 

 their efforts for the perfect solid yellow. Very fast increaser and makes 

 a startling golden mass in the garden. A.M. A.I.S. 1937. 



GOLDEN MADONNA (Essig, 1940) Each $1.50 



An Essig-Salbach introduction of 1940, creamy white and soft primrose 

 combination, hardly to be classed with the yellows but rather as a 

 cream. Very large, with domed standards and semi-flaring falls 40 inches 

 in height. 



GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salb.,'38) Each $1 ; 3 for $2.50 



For a deep yellow with all good habits — one that carries no markings 

 ' and does not fade — we can recommend Golden Majesty above all others 

 in this price field. A big flower with broad falls and closed standards, it 

 has proven reliable everywhere and was runner-up for the Dykes Medal. 

 H.M. A.I.S. 1939. A.M. 1940. 



GOLDEN SPANGLE (Cassebeer, 1944) Each $10.00 



Deeper yellow than Golden Fleece, but with somewhat similar arrange- 

 ment of color pattern. Domed yellow standards; falls clear white with 

 heavy gilding of rich yellow forming a complete border. The orange 

 beard brings out in sharp contrast the white area of the falls. Tall, with 

 many flowers beautifully poised. H.M. A.I.S. 1944. Few plants. 



GOLDEN SPIKE (Whitmg, 1940) Each $4.00 



Along with Spun Gold and one or two others, this ranks at the very top 

 amongst the deep golden yellows of today. It is so yellow, and has such 

 a heavy orange-yellow beard, that those who view it for the first time 

 are almost left gasping! The form is rather oval, with slightly ruffled 

 standards, and there are several flowers open at once. Very large, it 

 withstands rain and sun alike. A novelty well worth the money. H.M. 

 A.I.S. 1940, A.M. 1942. 



GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Solid deep cream, but with an outpouring of rich golden orange all 

 about the central portion of the flower. Tall, perfectly branched, very 

 floriferous, it will stand out in a planting of hundreds of varieties. 

 H.M, A.I.S. 1936, A.M. 1938. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $3.00 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper and gold. En- 

 tirely different from any iris we have ever introduced, it calls to mind 

 the new French iris Charlotte Millet, but is deeper and far more colorful. 

 Possesses attractive form in its suggestion of ruffling without loss of bal- 

 ance. An iris to be admired at close range, and one which we surmise 

 would be especially suited to bringing indoors and associated with ori- 

 ental rugs. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it flowers over a 

 very long season. The individual blooms are of very large size and hold 

 up splendidly in any weather. H.M. A.I.S. 1943; A.M. 1944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, '38) Each $1.75; 3 for $4.50 



A new clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of 

 London, Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with hand- 

 some foliage and finely branched 4-foot stalks. Color is about the same 

 shade as Shining Waters. H M. A.I.S. 1939, A.M. 1940, Dykes Medal 

 1942. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 25c; 3 for 60c 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a magnolia. 

 A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and a slight gold 

 dust sprinkling o\'er the entire bloom. A constant winner at the shows. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) Each $10.00 



Very deep blue-purple plicata. The falls are marbled rather than 

 stitched, giving the flower a much darker appearance than usual in 

 the plicata type. 



HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell, 1934) Each 30c ; 3 for 75c 



A giant of a flower, smooth light yellow in color. Inclined to lush growth 

 and in severe climates should be afforded some protection, but it amply 

 rewards this extra care. We can now supply it at a figure any gardener 

 can afford. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each $10.00 



A new and delightful orchid pink self of individuality and style. Tall 

 and strong stems; the flowers large and of substantial build with color 

 that is clear and bright, with slightly waved petals. 38 inches in height 

 and branched well; a strong grower. 



ICY BLUE (Weed, 1940) Each $2.00 



The lighest blue self in the list. This iris is just about perfect in every 

 way — a gigantic bloom, beautifully formed, amply branched, and the 

 stalks reach fourj feet or over. Almost white, the color is clearly defined 

 as lightest delicate blue. The beard is orange. National Iris Gardens' 

 finest introduction. H.M. A.I.S. 1941 



ID ANHA (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $3.00 



A very tall pronounced bi-color with apricot-yellow standards and 

 pinky-lavender falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that reach four feet, 

 widely and abundantly branched, making it ideal for garden effect. 

 Viewed as a clump, it gives the impression of a mass of apricot-tan and 

 pink. Individual blossoms are very large, well spaced and long lasting. 



ILLUSION (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $7.50 



An Ormohr seedling, altogether different from either the parent or any 

 others in this series, but with the peculiar elusive different air about it 

 that marks these Wm. Mohr hybrids. ILLUSION is delicate lilac pink 

 in color, with tawny brown overlay on the haft and a brown tipped 

 beard having a slight crest at the end. The very last iris to flower in our 

 garden, it is a mass of huge blooms of ethereal lilac pink color, but 

 slightly smaller in size than Ormohr. Well branched, about 30 inches 

 tall, with some stems slightly taller. 



IMPERIAL BLUSH (Sass, 1932) Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Tall free flowering blush pink, reaching 40 inches in height This does 

 not carry any of the yellow influence of most pinks, but a lemon beard 

 adds an interesting touch. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, 1942) Each $10.00 



A seedling from Sable, very much the same color. Rich and lustrous, 

 a deep velvety blackish purple, with 38-inch stems that are well 

 branched. Awarded and H.M. by the A.I.S. in 1942 and A.M. in 1944 

 Very few rhizomes.
