DEEP VELVET (Salbach, 1939) 



Each $3.00 



A striking Salbach introduction, one of the richest and best dark irises 

 we have yet seen. Self colored in very dark, yet bright, blackish red 

 purple with perfectly formed blossoms of very large size. Brownish 

 suffusion at the haft, with deep bronze beard. H.M. 1941, A.M. 1942. 



DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) Each 40c ; 3 for $1.00 



A great heavy flower of deepest blackish bronze purple, with rich golden 

 beard. From New Zealand, and it ranks as one of the truly fine novelties 

 not recently produced in this country — there are so few of them. 



DISPLAY (Grant, 1942) Each $10.00 



One of the darkest and richest reds we have ever bloomed in our garden. 

 Almost black in certain lights, it glows with a hidden fire in others. 

 Described as Spanish red, shading to deep maroon. No veining at the 

 haft; yellow beard flecked brown. About three feet tall. H.M. 1942, A.l.S. 



DOGROSE Each 40c ; 3 for $1.00 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tal' wiry stems. We originally imported 

 this iris from England several years ago and have constantly had 

 difficulty in keepmg enough stock to offer. A very free bloomer, it is of 

 medium size but makes a most colorful and effective pink garden 

 clump and is a beautiful cut flower in the house. 



DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each $10.00 



An orchid pink self in which is combined great purity of color and 

 standards and falls of exceptional width. A "cold" pink, not a blend, 

 but the color is clear and bright. Domed standards and semi-flaring falls, 

 the flowers 5 inches high by b inches wide; height 38 inches, well 

 branched. The almost white beard tends to emphasize the solid pink 

 effect. H.M. A.l.S. 1944. 



DUBROVNIK (Williamson, 1938) Each $1.00 



A brilliant rosy blend, richly toned with gold. It carries some blue in 

 its makeup, too, but this is subdued by the golden-copper-rose effect. 

 H.M. A.l.S. 1940. 



E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1937) Each 75c ; 3 for $2 



Glowing coppery red blend, a deeper and redder effect than Rosy Wings. 

 Not to be confused with either the reds or the coppers, it stands in a 

 special niche all its own. Large flowers of silky texture, fragrant, on 3- 

 foot stems. Awarded the Gold Medal as finest iris in the Rome, Italy, 

 trials. H.M. A.l.S. 1938, A.M. 1939. 



EDWARD L APHAM (Lapham, 1 942) Each $ 1 5. 00 



A very fine new red by the man who produced Red Gleam. We do not 

 think that this iris is any redder than Red Gleam, however, although it 

 has a very smooth finish and is more nearly self colored. The falls have 

 an overlay of solid brown on the haft. H.M. A.l.S. 1940. 



ELIZABETH ANN (Lapham, 1940) Each $1.50 



This new pink iris is one of the very last to flower in our garden. Very 

 tall, with as many as 1 1 blooms per stalk. A blend of pink shades, with 

 much cream in its makeup. One of Lapham's new ones. 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $6.00 



A very rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr. This is one of the most 

 exciting new irises that we have ever grown, and it is quite likely to 

 become the most popular of all Wm. Mohr seedlings when a lower price 

 makes it available to the average gardener. The stems are at least three 

 feet tall with excellent branching and a great number of huge blooms. 

 H.M. A.l.S. 1942. A.M. 1943. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a greenish cast in 

 its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blossoms are of 

 large size, rounded in form, and slightly frilled at the edges. One of the 

 most startling things ever released by the Sass Brothers. H.M. A.l.S. 

 1939, A.M. 1941. A.M. 1944 



EROS Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Very tall salmon colored self, possibly the nea-'est to this color ideal that 

 has ever been offered. The throat is lit with gold, giving it a special 

 brilliance. 



EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 60c 



A soft powder blue self, quite different from all other blues. Tall and 

 stately, with blooms of perfect form and thick enamel finish. Just a 

 suggestion of yellow in the center to liven it up. H.M. A.I S 1937 

 A.M. 1939. 



FAIR ELAINE (Mitch., '38) Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 



Standards are almost cream, the falls an emphatic yellow set off with 

 a most fiery orange beard. This and the new Elsa Sass are truly distinct 

 innovations in the field of yellow iris, now becoming so crowded H M 

 A.l.S. 1939, A M. 1940. 



FAR WEST (Klein., 1 936) Each 50c ; 3 for $1 .25 



One of the loveliest of all blends, a rare medley of salmon and golden 

 sand, of coral and henna, with a soft glow at the heart. It is of bold and 

 sturdy growing habit, the big blooms well spaced on fine stalks reaching 

 40 inches in height. A great bargain at-ihis price. H.M. A.l.S. 1937. 



FIESTA (White, 1936) Each $2.00 



Sparkling copper standards, apricot orange falls, a very gay affair i The 

 large oval blooms are well held on 3-foot stems. From California and a 

 bit tender in severe climates. H.M. A.l.S. 1935. 



FIRECRACKER (D. Hall, 1943) Each $7.50 



A glowing dark burgundy red plicata, with yellow trim. The flowers have 

 good substance, are well formed and are carried on fairly well branched 

 stout 32-inch stems. The depth and richness of color commands the 

 attention of every visitor. 



FLAMELY (Cook, 1942) Each $6.50 



A red self, the color more orange than purple. Flowers medium large, of 

 splendid shape, good substance and texture. The reddest seedling out of 

 many hundreds raised from E. B. Williamson. One of the "four horse- 

 men reds recently turned out by Paul Cook, the others being Action 

 Front, Redward and Captain Wells. Each is distinct in color tone 

 H.M. A.l.S. 1944. 



FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill, 1940) Each $2.00 



A new russet red, or perhaps "peach red" would be more appropriate. 

 It has the deep, warm tones of brownish red seen on the darkly colored 

 side of a ripe peach! A glowing, rich iris, very large and handsomely 

 formed, not nearly well enough known. H.M. A.l.S. 1940. 



FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) Each $5.00 



Something entirely different in color — a melting cameo pink that has 

 been referred to as "like the foam on a strawberry soda." It has lines of 

 heavier color near the haift, with a most startling shrimp-red beard. Not 

 large, it is an iris to be enjoyed as a clump for its most novel color 

 H.M. A.l.S. 1942; A.M. 1944. 



FLORENTINE (Cayeux, 1937) Each $2.00 



A plicata that is really different! The white ground color is entirely 

 dotted with soft blue, with such an overall effect that the flower seems 

 quite submerged in flaky blue dust. Enormous in size, with good 

 branching. 



FORTUNE (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $3.50 



Solid and uniform old gold, a flower of startling size and of broadly 

 spreading form. The color is not dull, but very much alive, due to a 

 peculiar overlay of "rusty red, " which seems to come from nowhere but 

 is apparent in all parts of the flower. This iris is a pronounced self from 

 top to bottom, and it carries remarkably well in the garden. Of medium 

 height, the gigantic blooms are on a level that permits full observation 

 of their size and beauty.- 



FORTUNE'S FAVOR (DeForest, 1944) Each $20.00 



Really a giant in size, this new blend has about everything one could 

 ask for in a good iris. The tan standards are broad and closed, the very 

 wide fciUs are rounded and are colored a glistening tan overlaid with 

 lavender flush. The whole flower is slightly waved and ruffled. It is 

 lit up by an extra heavy deep yellow beard. Height 40 inches. 



FRANCONIA (Graves, 1942) Each $15.00 



Says a judge in A.l.S. Bulletin for July, 1943, "Dr. Graves has so many 

 fine whites that it is difficult to single out the best. If this isn't the best, 

 it is close to it and good enough for anyone!" As cool and classic as white 

 marble, a gigantic and perfectly formed flower. H.M. A.l.S. 1942. 



FRANK ADAMS (Lapham, '37) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



A tall and very well proportioned large new iris with rosy tan standards 

 and rosy red falls. Produced by E. G. Lapham, of Elkhart, Indiana. 

 Flowers, stalk and foliage are of unusually large size. H.M. A.l.S. 1938, 

 A.M. 1940. 



FROSTED GLASS (Betcherer, 1943) Each $8.50 



Outstanding for its unusual color and its wonderful form. It is palest 

 opalescent cream with frosty iridescence difficult to describe. Splendid 

 form and heavy texture, with fine growing habits. 



FULL MEASURE (DeForest, 1941] 



Each $5.00 



Fascinating deep orange yellow with analine yellow undertone that adds 

 to the depth of color. Standards are arched, falls half flaring, with deep 

 orange beard. This and Late Sun are two new yellows from the same 

 introducer, both of top quality and they will surely become immensely 

 popular when better known. 



GALLANT LEADER (Wiesner, 1939) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Broad and well arched standards of deep rose red, falls velvety maroon 

 touched with coppery gold at the haft. A big and impressive iris that 

 recalls the old but fine Depute Nomblot, being much richer and more 

 bronze-red in color. H.M. A.l.S. 1939
