FORTUNIO (For-toon-e-o) (Cayeux 1930) L. 36". 
A charming new iris similar in form to the lovely 
Fulgore. Flowers of medium size and height and 
the well branched stalk carries a great many 
blooms. The coloring is particularly dainty; S. 
azure blue, faintly shaded lilac, F. slightly deeper 
of the same shades. Very free blooming and a 
fine massing variety. $3.50 
FRAGONARD (Fra-go-nar) (Cayeux 1926) M. 
36" S.F. This is one of the most beautiful shades 
that we have seen in iris. The standards are an 
exquisite shade of light rose; the falls are a 
deeper tone of the same color. The best we can 
do is to describe it as a luscious shade of lustrous 
rose pink. Highly recommended. $ .90 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) L. 48" S.F. This 
is unquestionably one of the finest iris introduc¬ 
tions and will be for years to come. It is an ex¬ 
quisite pink bicolor, with pale lilac pink stand¬ 
ards and deep lilac rose falls. We strongly rec¬ 
ommend it to our customers. $ .35; 3 for $ .90 
FRANCHEVILLE (Frawnsh-veel) (Cayeux 1927) 
M. 54" F. Another of M. Cayeux’s giants, both 
in height and size of flower and foliage. S. 
fawn, tinged clear lilac. F. purplish red, lighted 
heliotrope at the margins. Heavy orange yellow 
beard. This variety must be well established be¬ 
fore it shows its true worth. A fine variety. 
C.M.S.N.H.F. 1927. $ .40 
FRIVOLITE (Free-vo-letay) M. 40". An exquis¬ 
ite flower, aptly described by Countess Senni, of 
Rome, Italy, who knows fine iris and writes so 
well on the subject. She said, “There is only one 
iris which is really like the Lady Ashtown or 
Radiance rose, and that is Frivolite. It is not 
especially big, but its fresh color sets it quite 
apart. It was near Hernani, and when the setting 
sun was back of them, they were enchanting.” 
We can add nothing to this description except to 
say that it is an especially free bloomer and 
lovely and arresting in a mass. $2.50 
FULGORE (Fool-gore) (Cayeux 1930) L. 36". 
An entirely new break in form and color and we 
think it one of the most attractive varieties we 
have grown. Of medium size, on slender, well 
branched, graceful stalks of medium height, it is 
a very fine variety for massing. The color is a 
blazing, coppery red; the brilliant orange beard 
brings out the full beauty of its coloring. Highly 
recommended. $5.00

GABRIEL (Bliss 1923) M. 44" S.F. The growth 
is exceptionally vigorous with strong well branch¬ 
ed stems. The enormous flowers are of perfect 
form and erect carriage. S. bright, clear steel 
blue, broad, rounded and finely arched. F. bright 
violet blue, suffused deeper at the haft, and as 
broad as the standards. A very free bloomer 
and one of the most satisfactory kinds we grow. 
$ .40; 3 for $1.00 
GERMAINE PERTHUIS (Zher'-mann Pair-twee) 
(Millet 1924) M. 40". V.F. This is a descendent 
of Mme. Gaudichau. It has inherited all the good 
qualities of its parent, exceptional growth, vigor, 
good habits and great freedom of bloom. Enor¬ 
mous flowers on very long firm stems. S. a pleasing 
shade of purple, lighted lilac. F. velvety deep 
richest violet. Strongly scented. One of our most 
satisfactory varieties. $ .25; 3 for $ .60 
C.M.N.H.F. Special award Paris Iris Com. 1924. 
GIANT KING (Sass 1931) 36". A large iris of 
Iris King coloring. S. soft tan suffused light red; 
F. velvety wine red, veined white, with bright 
golden beard. A strong growing variety and ex¬ 
ceptionally heavy bloomer. $ .75 
GILEAD (Andrews 1931) M. 42". A fine golden 
yellow and bronze blend. The ground color is a 
soft buff overlaid amber, the falls somewhat deep¬ 
er in tone than the standards. The flowers are 
very large with high arching standards, and are 
well poised on the widely branching stems. Its 
name was suggested by the crystalline amber 
gum coating the winter buds of the Balm of Gil¬ 
ead. A mass planting in Mr. Andrews garden 
was a lovely sight. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1932. $5.00 
GOLDEN GLORY (Jackson 1927) M. 42". A 
yellow self, stalk stiff, well branched with 7 to 11 
bloom buds. Standards broad, domed, wavy at 
the edges and of good substance; pinard yellow, 
deepening to chrome yellow at the base. Falls 
well rounded and of a deeper shade of yellow. 
The general effect is a tall strong yellow of 
sturdy habits. $ .35; 3 for $ .75 
G. P. BAKER (Perry 1930) M. 54". A new, very 
tall medium toned yellow, whose outstanding fea¬ 
ture is the beautiful branching quality of its tall 
strong stems. The flowers are of medium size of 
smooth texture ancl pale lemon in color and the 
stalk carries as many as a dozen open blooms at 
one time. $1.75
