CARL SALBACH • IRISES 
[3 
Neon (Salbach 1934). One 
of the brightest iris in the 
garden, hence the name. 
When this iris came into 
full bloom it was the most 
popular iris in our trial 
bed, although blooming 
in competition with a 
large number of the fin¬ 
est new American and 
foreign varieties. 
Due to the bronzy gold 
of the standards and the 
velvety carmine of the 
falls, Neon offers a glow¬ 
ing richness that we know 
of in no other iris of this 
type. The bright gold of 
the beard and on the haft 
blend into the bronzy- 
gold of the standards to 
give the flower its attrac¬ 
tive brilliance. 
Disregarding size, form, 
or habit, and making a di¬ 
rect comparison to Pro 
and Iris King for color 
only, we find that Neon 
is so much richer that it 
makes the color tones of 
both variegatas appear 
pale and wan. 
A perfect example of 
good candelabrum type 
stalk, 48 in., carrying a full 
quota of blooms and buds. 
Has been tested and found 
hardy under severe win¬ 
tering. See color picture 
page 7.$15.00 
Peacemaker (Mitchell 1934). A stylish porce¬ 
lain colored iris with a pale lavender blue 
flush in center of falls. Very refined, hav¬ 
ing the clear appearance of a piece of newly 
lacquered furniture. Excellent as an aid in 
garden blending, because its pale shades 
make it a colorful substitute for white. Tall, 
well branched, with large blossoms. Blooms 
in mid-season. 42 inches.$3.00 
Rosy Asia (Mitchell 1934). A pinker edition 
of Asia, with broader falls and fine full form. 
A most delicate and delightful blend which 
is at its best under electric light. Large 
blooms. 
Falls pale Chinese violet, flushed deeper 
in center, with warm lilac standards and 
bright yellow beard. An iris which should 
be of great interest to breeders, as Mr. 
Mitchell has himself been using it in his 
breeding for pinks. $3.00.
