NANOOK, (Ayres, ’32). S. warm amber 
white at the center deepening slightly 
at the edges, and deeper at the base; 
F. pure white with a coppery yellow 
haft vein. The effect is a fresh 
opaque color, not the transparent 
effect of most whites. Quite unusual 
and different. 44 in.$5.00 
NENE, (Cayeux, ’28). Considered by 
the majority as the largest of all 
Irises. S. soft clear lilac; F. vinous 
red, lighter at the margins. A stately 
imposing plant when in full flower. 
48 in. C.M., S.N.H.F.$1.50 
NINGAL, (Ayres, ’32). S. a pure bronzy 
buff tone; F. smooth, flaring, of a 
warm buff overlaid with iridescent 
very pale coerulean blue. The blue 
shade is deepest at the center of the 
blade and gradually fades to a pale 
buff margin. 36 in. $5.00 
NO-WE-TA, (H. P. Sass, ’32). A pinker 
Midgard type of entirely different 
form and an Iris of exquisite color¬ 
ing. Standards conic arched and 
frilled. It is a beautiful true pink 
self in effect with yellow flushes at 
the center and edges of the falls 
and standards. 32 in. $3.50 
NUMA ROUMESTAN, (Cayeux, ’28). 
The general effect is a most distinct 
and attractive rich amaranth-red. 
The entire flower being of a uniform 
color. Both standards and falls are 
deeply frilled .75c 
NURMAHAL, (Nicholls, ’31). One of 
the richest and most outstanding 
Irises in the garden. S. bronze brown

OREGON BEAUTY, (Kleinsorge, ’30). 
A very large flower containing an ex¬ 
quisite blending of aconite-violet, 
cotinga-purple, and coppery-rose; S. 
aconite-violet; F. bright velvety 
cotinga-purple, with strong medial 
line and edge brighter. Beautiful 
yellow beard. Red in general effect. 
38 in.$1.00 
PEACHES, (H. P. Sass, ’31). A warm 
and bright blend of peach, apricot, 
and orange. Not so deep in color as 
Clara Noyes, and with more creamy 
markings in the falls. 32 in.. . .$1.50 
PERSIA, (Ayres, ’29). S. smoky blue; 
F. rich purple blue in the center 
shading to a much paler hue at the 
margin. A beautiful flower with a 
glistening silky texture. Outstanding 
in every way. We highly recommend 
Persia as an ideal variety. 4 8 
in.$2.00 
PHEBUS, (Cayeux, ’30). Not as deep 
a yellow as Pluie d’Or, but a uni¬ 
form light lemon color. Phebus is 
quite different in form from the other 
light yellows. Flowers rounded in 
form and well poised on tall well 
branched spikes. 3 6 in. C.M., 
S.N.H.F. $4.00 
PHOSPHOR, (Shull, ’31). A medium 
yellow self of very heavy substance. 
S. Reed yellow, varying lighter at the 
tip; F. similar to the standards but 
the Reed yellow overlaid with a very 
delicate haze of purple. H.M., 
A.I.S., ’32.$1.00 
PINK SATIN, (J. Sass, ’30). A very 
delicate and smooth mauve of lilac 
pink. While it is not pink, it may 
be considered so for all garden pur¬ 
poses. It is, in my opinion, the near¬ 
est approach to pink; but it still car¬ 
ries some of the purple pigments that 
up to the present time the breeder 
has been unable to remove. We 
highly recommend it as a fine hardy 
Iris. 42 in. H.M., A.I.S., ’31. . . $2.50 
PLUIE d’OR, (Cayeux, ’28). The first 
large flowering, dark yellow Iris of

chrome to cadmium yellow self. Rich 
orange beard. Many branched strong 
firm stems bearing neat pure yellow 
flowers in great numbers. 36 in.

fusion; F. wide and flaring lavender 
blue with a buffy yellow suffusion 
paling at margins and yellow vein- 
ing at throat, beard golden yellow. 
A magnificent Iris, vigorous, sturdy 
branching stems. A very sturdy 
grower and rapid increaser with us. 
48 in. C.M., S.N.H.F., and Special 
Prize for one of the three best Iris,
