BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939) 



Each $2.50 



Just about the finest, in our opinion, of all the Sass series ot 

 yellow plicatas. A more yellow Siegrfied, with better form and 

 carriage. Much larger than others of this series, with tall stems 

 and good habits. Clean markings of brown etch both standards 

 and falls. H.M. A.I.S. 1940. A.M. 1942. 



BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each $7.50 



A very large vigorous growing and free blooming medium blue, 

 a few shades lighter than The Admiral. The color holds up un- 

 usually well. One of the bluest of irises, it received a Highly 

 Commended award before its introduction. Form, substance 

 and branching are good. 3b inches tall. H.VI. A.I.S. 1944. 



BATAAN (Klein., 1942) Each $5.00 



A \"cry dark blend of coppery plum, henna and rich brown. 

 Freshly opened flowers exhibit a very pronounced henna cast, 

 some of which is missing in the illustration. An attractive 

 feature of this iris is its rather oval shape, the falls starting to 

 flare widely and then gracefully curving downward and 

 slightly backward at the tips — horizontally oval, not elon- 

 gated. This provides an eyefull when viewed at any angle. 

 Dr. Kleinsorge again gives us something apart .from the 

 u^ual run of iris colors, in a plant with good growing 

 habits, well branched stalks, and flowers above 

 a\erage size. Height three feet or slightly over.

GOLD 



(Salbach, 

 Each $5.00 



MISSOURI 



AVONDALE (H. Sass, 1934) Each 40c 



Subdued shades of violet and copper, with a very vivid orange beard and inner 

 glow. An iris which has attained great popularity for its unique color and general 

 excellence. 



AZTEC COPPER (Klein., 1939) Each $2; 3 for $5.00 



A rare and subtle blend of smoky violets and delicate coppers, blended and 

 washed together in lovely harmony to baffle description. Positively huge, with 

 broad hafts and leatherv substance, wonderfuUv branched. 3ti to 40 in. H.M. 

 A.I.S. 1940. 



AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each $10.00 



Originally called "Summer Skies" by Mrs. Pattison, the originator, this is a self of 

 pale azure blue with firm domed standards and flaring almost horizontal falls. The 

 flowers are beautifully ruffled and have wide hafts, surmounted by a white beard. 

 It has been declared by many who have seen it to be the most lovely of all light 

 blue iris to date. 3fo inches. 



This was a sensation in our garden 

 during the blooming season just ended. 

 It is the tallest and probably the richest 

 deep yellow that we have e\ er grown. The 

 flowers are very large on well-branched stems 

 that reach four feet in height. A new yellow 

 from Carl Salbach that is worth much more than 

 the modest price asked for a new introduction. 

 H.M. A.I.S. 1944. 



BERMUDA SAND (D. Hall, 1939) Each $1.50 



A glorified and gigantic Jean Cayeux, both standards and falls 

 heavily ruffled. Deeper in color than Jean Cayeux, a light 

 coffee tan with a glint of gold. Freshly opened blooms are 

 reddish gold. Strong growing with clean broad foliage and 

 sturdy bloom stalks. It is one of the famous seedlings from 

 David Hall of Wilmette, Illinois. 



BEVERLY (Lapham, 1939) Each $1.50 



This is a new iris most suitable for garden effect, decidedly 

 pink in tone, increasing rapidly and blooming abundantly. 

 Blooms are of good size, well shaped, and have a distinct 

 edge of golden brown. Heavy yellow beard, slight gold reticu- 

 lations. One of the new Lapham pinks. 



BIRCHBARK (Klein., 1940) Ea. 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A white Irom Dr. Kleinsorge, introduced in 1940. A very large 

 flower, the falls broadly spreading and with a pronounced 

 rounded shape. Solid clean white, with a very cool inner glow. 

 Of medium height, to three feet, with splendid branching. 

 One of the parents of "Arctic." 



BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass, 1942) Each $12.50 



An entirely different plicata, clean sparkling white with an all- 

 over pattern of clear blue stippling. The blue seems to be 

 "peppered" on the white background in an even manner, 

 rather than in the familiar button-hole-stitch style. The 

 flowers are very large, full and rounded. Certainly one of the 

 most outstanding irises of the past two or three seasons. H.M. 

 A.I.S. 1942; A.M. 1944. 



BLUE ZENITH (Whiting, 1942) Each $3.50 



A large and tall campanula sky blue — one of the loveliest 

 and best of the new blues. The flowers are slightly ruffled. 

 Hardy and an easy grower. 



BONANZA (J. Sass, 1939) Each 50c ; 3 for $1.25 



Most >ellow of all the new type plicatas, with very rich 

 ground color and thick veining of brown on the standards, 

 less on the falls. A rapid growing and prolific flowering variety. 



BROWN THRASHER (Kirk., 1941) Each $15.00 



After a slow start this iris really came into its own last year. It 

 has gorgeous color, a brilliant golden light brown with lustrous 

 sheen — not velvety. The tall stems bear several well spaced 

 blossoms of large size, shaped considerably like Copper Lustre, 

 but far more alive and colorful. Altogether different from 

 Tobacco Road, it is one of the very best brown irises and it 

 really appears brown. H.M. A.I.S. 1940, A.M. 1943
