CARL SALBACH • IRISES 
[9 
Fortuna (Mohr-Mitcliell). A broad rounded 
flower of Alcazar and Esplendido shape. 
Clear amber yellow standards with some¬ 
what lighter yellow falls reticulated red 
brown. An outstanding and most popular 
flower.50c; 3 for $1.00 
Fro. Standards mustard yellow, falls ox-blood 
red. Vigorous and floriferous. Excellent in 
borders.•.25c; 3 for 50c 
Gaviota (Mohr). Creamy white. Excellent for 
massing.25c; 3 for 50c 
Gaynelle (Richer). This splendid interme¬ 
diate is most outstanding, due particularly 
to the fact that it is the very earliest of the 
yellows, blooming even earlier than Soledad, 
which it clearly supplants. Deeper in color, 
larger, and of better form than the latter. 
Makes a solid mass of color at blooming 
time.75c; 3 for $1.75 
George J. Tribolet (Williamson). A very rich 
iris in the darker tones. Black violet to 
purple. Fragrant. Silver Medal, A. I. S. 
.35c; 3 for 70c 
Georgia (Farr). Soft Cattleya rose, excellent 
substance. Early. Beautiful “pink” in mass. 
30". Early. Sometimes blooms in fall. 
.25c; 3 for 50c 
Germain Perthuis (Millet). An enormous rich 
violet purple self with striking orange 
beard. Tall, well branched, free flowering 
with wonderfully smooth velvety appear¬ 
ance. Sweet scented. 36".50c; 3 for $1.00 
Gloaming (Murrell). An early intermediate 
which makes one of the finest low growing 
border iris we know. Most floriferous, and 
forms a bright russet mass of color—almost 
solid after clumps are established. Because 
it increases so rapidly, a dozen rhizomes will 
give complete border effect by the second 
season.35c; 3 for 70c; 12 for $2.00 
Glowing Embers (Sturtevant). A highly col¬ 
ored flower with light brownish standards 
and falls of bright russet red. Excellent for 
breeders, being one of the parents of both 
Gold Top and Bronze Beacon, and also in 
the parentage of Dark Knight.25c; 3 for 50c 
Gold Top (Salbach 1931). Rich old gold stand¬ 
ards set off by falls that are red violet edged 
old gold. The style arms and beard afford 
another touch of gold. Blooms early and 
continues all through the season. Tall and 
well balanced. A consistent fall bloomer in 
California. 42".$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
Gold Imperial (Sturtevant). Chrome yellow 
throughout except for the orange beard. 
Rare finish, texture, and form. Hon. Ment. 
A. I. S.35c; 3 for 70c 
Grace Sturtevant (Bliss). Standards dark red 
brown with rich velvety falls that are still 
darker, being almost black at the tip. A deep 
orange beard that makes this flower one of 
the most conspicuous in the garden. Most 
outstanding, and very valuable to breeders, 
being one of the parents of California Gold. 
.$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1931/). A breath tak¬ 
ing new yellow iris that is both huge and 
clear. See picture page 7 and "New Intro¬ 
ductions,” pages 2 and 3. 
Helios (Cayeux). One of the really fine yel¬ 
lows. A big, luminous pale yellow, almost as 
large as W. R. Dykes, but a bit paler in color. 
Fine form and finish, with delicate light 
brown lining on the falls which, however, 
are so faint as to be almost invisible when 
the flower is open. A most vigorous grower, 
free blooming. 3 feet. Cert, of Merit, and 
Special Prize as one of the three best iris of 
1929, S. N. H. F.$2.00 
San Francisco—"One Stalk a Bouquet.” This 
magnificent iris presents a perfect example of 
the candelabrum branching type of stem which 
characterizes many of the newer iris.
