REDGLOW 
A Royal Red Velvet 
(Essig, 1934) 
The falls of this stately Iris are flaring and 
of a rich red velvet, set off by the golden 
beard and with somewhat paler standards. It 
combines all of the fine color qualities of its 
parents, Modoc and Bruno, and was carefully 
compared with all of the new introductions 
before it was selected for registration. The 
stems are two and one-half to three feet high, 
stiff and normally branched. It is a late con¬ 
tinuous bloomer and will succeed wherever 
Dominion and Gaudichau strains do well.

ROYAL SALUTE 
A Superb Nevr Royal Purple 
(Milliken, 1934) 
A clump of this variety with its large rich 
deep violet-blue flowers, waist high, makes a 
splendid dark color note in the garden. 
Grouped with some of the light blue lavenders 
it makes a picture that will not soon be for¬ 
gotten. The color carries so well that visitors 
notice it from a distance and ask, "What is 
that wonderiul Iris?" 
MOURNING CLOAK 
The Newest Thing in Dark Iris 
(Essig, 1934) 
The darkest of the blue-purple tones yet 
seen. The falls are as rich or richer than those 
of any of the newer novelties and the stand¬ 
ards are darker than any so far exhibited. It 
is without a peer in color and combines the 
darkest shades of Modoc, Gaudichau, Uncle 
Remus and Dominion. It is an intermediate in 
height and blooms in mid-season. As it sets 
seed well it is a valuable breeder for dark 
Irises.........-. $10.00 
AUTUMN DAWN 
An Ever-bloomer in California 
(Nies, 1934) 
This charming new variety is ideally suited 
for landscape effects. It is a clear bright blend 
of old gold and pink and is especially charm¬ 
ing when planted in a group with a clear blue 
such as Shining Waters, Pacific, or Claridad. 
A distinctive and valuable feature of Au¬ 
tumn Dawn is its free blooming habit. In the 
originator's garden in Southern California it 
usually begins to bloom about the first of Aug¬ 
ust and continues thru the fall and winter. It 
commences again in April and blooms pro¬ 
fusely thru May and lune. It is ideal for cut¬ 
ting, has good pollen, is fragrant, vigorous 
and hardy. Height, 28 inches___ $5.00 
The flower is identical in coloring with Sou¬ 
venir de Mme. Gaudichau except that the 
standards are a trifle bluer. It is a larger 
flower than Gaudichau and is borne on taller 
well branched stalks forty-one inches high. It 
has the attractive form, substance and texture 
of Gaudichau. Standards 21/4 inches wide by 
2 inches long; falls 2y4 inches wide by T^h 
inches long; haft IV2 inches wide. Plant very 
vigorous with good foliage. Flowers fragrant.

WISTARIA 
A New Break in Form 
J. D. NIES 
(Nies, 1934) 
A hexagona-fulva hybrid that gets its color 
from its fulva ancestor and its splendid sub¬ 
stance from its hexagona ancestor. The color 
is almost indescribable, being an old-coppery 
golden, with buff edge on the haft, and a deli¬ 
cate overlay of garnet in the center of the 
arched falls. Above four feet in height, if 
planted against a coarse leafed background 
of rich green shrubbery it presents a sight not 
soon to be forgotten. Its splendid substance 
makes it a fine cut flower, which is extremely 
rare in this type of Iris.-... $2.50

DARK MORASS 
This Iris has attracted a great deal of atten¬ 
tion in our exhibition garden because of the 
large horizontal falls which are 21/2 by 3 
inches and because of its unique beard. The 
flower is almost a self, being a rather light 
bluish lavender in color. 
The beard has the appearance of being 
closely sheared and is of a bluish color closely 
matching that of the flower itself. The stems 
are of medium height showing the large flow¬ 
ers off to good advantage. H. M. A. I. S. . $5.00 
(Nies, 1934) 
A sister seedling of the above, with which 
it combines beautifully, both in landscape and 
bouquet work. It is taller than 1 . D. Nies, and 
like it, a profuse bloomer. It has an immense, 
rich, royal purple flower of good substance. 
The color is bright enough to have fine carry¬ 
ing qualities, yet is an intensely deep purple. 
The edges of the upper half of the falls and of 
the haft are of a buff chocolate tone, and this 
has a tendency to enliven the entire flower.
