 most regal iris of great color intensity, with splendid stems and widely 

 flaring blossoms. 



BUCKSKIN (Klein., 1 939) Each $1 .50 ; 3 for $4.00 



Bearing a most appropriate title, this iris is by far the best tan in our 

 entire collection. The stalks rise to a height of four feet, bearing close 

 to a dozen great blooms with large closed standards and wide flaring 

 falls. Practically a self in color, it makes a magnificent companion to the 

 blue of Great Lakes. 



BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $10.00

 an iris of pure henna coloring. Dr. Kleinsorge secured .some most inter- 

 esting seedlings in tones of tan, brown, and bronze Out of this series 

 wc selected Brvcc Canvon, so named because of the similarity to the 

 mellow, yet glowing colors seen in the rock formations of one of the

 brilliant tangerine beard, this is it. A soft pinkish buff self, hard to 

 describe, set off with a very red-orange beard. Nicely shaped, prolific 

 blooming and attracts wide attention. 



CALDERILLA (DeForest, 1944)

Self blend of tcrra-cotta, gold and cacao brown, with violet flush at 

 end of the beard. A massive flower on strong 38-inch stalks with four 

 branches. Wide closed standards. A fine new blend from the man who 

 gave us Casa Morena. 



Here again we are confronted with the task of describing an indescribable 

 iris! This is in shades of pink, golden copper, and lilac, smoothly blended 

 together. Large size and fine form add to its high quality. H.M. A.I.S. 

 1938, A.M. 1939.

A new plicata in deep yellow tones. Standards clear deep yellow with

 suffused and dotted brown. Strong yellow beard and a slight dash of 

 cream in the center of the falls. 



CHRIST ABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 75c 



Red . . . and it will not disappoint the most exacting critic. For sheer 

 brilliance we rank it second only to the new Red Gleam from Mr. 

 Lapham, the same originator. Glorious as a garden clump, almost a self, 

 of large size, over 3 feet tall. H.M. A.I.S. 1936, A.M. 1938.

 A.M. 1939. 



CLARET VELVET (Weed, 1940) Each $2.00 



One of the most velvety pieces of deep color that we have ever seen in 

 an iris. Glowing blackish wine, without venation, set off by a pronounced 

 burnt orange beard. Perfect form and good branching, but only about 

 thirty inches in height. However, irises of such height are needed for 

 the foreground. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitch , 1933) Each 30c ; 3 for 75c cLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) 



By all odds the best value in a yellow iris at anywhere near the price. 

 It is an easy grower and free bloomer, deep glittering yellow of very 

 large size, and surpasses everything in its color except the recent 

 novelties. We have a huge stock, hence the low price. 



CALIFORNIA PEACH (Salbach, 1941) Each $6.50 



Id 

 ong

 jestic iris. The falls are slightly waved and ruffled, broad and widely

 blossoms Standards are delicately fluted. A fit companion to Azure 

 Skies, taller and more on the mauve side than blu:. H.M. A.I.S. 1944.

 and yellow in it than does China Maid. Well branched, with a very lor 

 blooming season. H.M. A.LS. 1940.

 overlaid onion skin pink, beard and styles yellow. 40 inches tall. 



CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook, 1941) Each $5.00 



Deep glossy maroon purple, a large, rich, solidly colored self, neat and 

 finished in appearance owing to the almost entire absence of haft mark- 

 ings, and to the subdued yellow of the beard. There is a wonderful 

 "shine" to the whole flower. Considered by Paul- Cook, originator of 

 Sable, as one of his very finest dark seedlings. H.M. A.I.S. 1942; 

 A.M. 1943.

Large creamy ivory self with thick petals, about three feet in height.

 picture. Height 38 inches. H.M. A.I.S. 1944.

 beautiful. Very few plants.

 reds, and with a slight smoky wash that seems to restrain the color. It 

 is large in size, blooming somewhat late. 



CHEERIO (Ayres, 1934) Each 30c 



In the red class this has no peer at the same price. It is tall, vigorous, 

 dependable, and a striking red iris in the garden. It holds the same 

 position in this color that California Gold does amongst the yellows. 



CONNOOUENESSING (Pillow, 1943) 



Each $7.50 



A blend of the lovliest shades of cream yellow and rose pink. The golden 

 heart of the flower seems to burst out from the orange beard into waves 

 of softest pastel sunset shades. Slightly ruffled domed standards, wide 

 semi-flaring falls. Introduced by Over-the-Garden-Wall ; a hardy and 

 dependable novelty. 



COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk., 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Entirely different from all others, its great popularity has resulted not 

 only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of its flowers, but also from 

 the fact that it performs well in all sections of the country. It positively 

 glows in its bright copper, gold, and pinkish tan blendings. Dykes 

 Medal, 1938. Now sold at a price that will permit everyone to own it.

CORAL MIST (Grant, 1941) 



Each $15.00 



This iris was recommended to us by one of the foremost critics of the 

 American Iris Society, who stated that it was not only very near pink 

 in color, but that it was unique among the pink blends. A medley of 

 pink and deeper coral pink, with cinnamon flush. Large flowers with 

 flaring form. Very limited stock.

 beard, blooming at the very last of the season. 



DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $6.00

 well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi-flaring, but 

 there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. It has excellent 

 branching and the stems are three to four feet tall. The name is most 

 appropriate.

 reports of those who have seen it in many parts of the country indicate 

 that it will be one of the most popular varieties that we have ever 

 introduced. A.M. 1943.
