YVES LASAILLY (Eev Las-ayee) (Cayeux 
1929) E. 48". This is a giant, both in stalk and 
in flower. It is a lovely combination of white 
and blue. The colors are the same as in Los 
Angeles, except that in Los Angeles the back¬ 
ground is white and the standards are edged 
blue. In Yves Lasailly, the broad falls have a 
suffustion of soft sky blue in the center.

One of three best Iris of year. 
ZAHAROON (Mrs. W. R. Dykes 1927). Flowers 
of good size. An extra strong and vigorous plant. 
We have no hesitation in pronouncing this one of 
the most beautiful iris in commerce today. The 
flower is an exquisite blend of amber, buff, yel¬ 
low, fawn and pale violet, with a strong suffusion 
of rose. The color plate is a very good reproduc¬ 
tion. $4.00 
Silver Gilt Medal, English Iris Show, 1927, as 
best Iris shown that year. 
WILLIAM MOHR (Mohr 1925) 32". This is 
probably the most remarkable hybrid ever 
raised. The ground color is pale lilac, standards 
flushed darker, the whole flower is beautifully 
veined Manganese violet. The flower has great 
substance and withstands sun and rain. Per¬ 
fectly hardy. We cover with a little straw in 
winter. $ .40; 3 for $1.00 
Award of Merit, Chelsea, 1930. 
WILLLIAM R. DYKES (Dykes 1926) E. 40". 
This iris is the crowning achievement of the 
late W. R. Dykes and in our opinion the most 
beautiful light colored iris we have seen. The 
colored picture in this catalogue is very good, 
but it is only five-sixths of the actual size of 
the original, but the color plate had to fit the 
catalogue. It is of the most perfect shape and 
fine substance. The standards are tall, dome 
shaped and frilled. The falls are of great thick¬ 
ness and the surface of the flower is crinkled, 
giving it an effect of great richness. The falls 
are lightly flecked violet, which in our opinion 
greatly adds to the beauty and distinction of 
the flower. We are pleased to report that this 
variety has been planted in the open garden 
the past season without loss. The pollen is 
fertile. $4.50 
WINNISHEIK (Egelberg 1931) M. 40". An 
excellent blue iris of darkest hue and which 
does not fade as do some on this order. The 
flowers are large, firm texture and slightly 
frilled. We recommend this variety to our 
customers. $3.00
