CARL SALBACH • IRISES 
[1934 
Uncle Remus (Essig 1928). Deep mulberry 
purple self of splendid form and texture. 
The beard is cadmium yellow with purple 
undertone. The stems are stiff, the foliage 
clean and vigorous. 36".50c; 3 for §1.00 
Valencia (Mohr). A beautiful bright orange- 
buff self. Hardy and prolific. Low growing. 
20".25c; 3 for 50c 
Y r ert-Galant (Cayeux 1929). Coppery red 
shading to garnet, with yellow throat re¬ 
ticulated brown. The oval flower has a fine 
smooth finish. The plants are tall and 
husky. Awarded Dykes Medal, 1929-$2.50 
Vesper Gold (Williamson 1926). A blend of 
creamy-buff flushed amber yellow. 
.35c; 3 for 70c 
William Mohr (Mohr). A wonderful hybrid 
from Parisiana X gatesii. The ground color 
is pale lilac, standards flushed darker, the 
whole flower beautifully veined manganese 
violet. Substance and shape of the very best, 
a very large flower; actual measurements 
showing standards 314" by 2 %" and falls 3" 
by 2". Stems strong and rigid, 20" to 24", 
usually four flowers on each. Splendid in 
mass and a rapid increaser. Practically the 
only iris which can be grown in window or 
other boxes or pots. 
William Mohr has proven itself hardy in 
so many Eastern gardens we predict that as 
soon as stock is available, this beautiful iris 
will supplant Susiana, the Mourning Iris, 
which is difficult to raise even in California. 
See color cut, page 15. Award of Merit, R. 
H. S. Rhizomes naturally small. 
.75c; 3 for $2.00

VV. R. Dykes (Dykes). This remarkable Eng¬ 
lish novelty which is one of the parents of 
Happy Days (Mitchell 1934) is one of the 
finest for breeders, and itself gives immense, 
large yellow blooms. A markedly large per¬ 
centage of Dykes seedlings produce flowers 
as large, or even larger than Dykes itself. 
Long broad falls, sometimes flecked with 
purple.$3.00

ALL GARDEN ENTHUSIASTS should be interested in Sydney B. Mitchell’s new 
book “From a Sunset Garden.” For the general gardener, this book offers a series of 
invaluable articles on garden topics including, among others, articles on daffodils, 
annuals, gladiolus, fuchsias, and shrubs. The iris enthusiast, however, should pur¬ 
chase the book for the three chapters on iris alone. These include one most fascinat¬ 
ing chapter on iris breeding in which Mr. Mitchell lists two breeding studs — an 
inexpensive one for the beginner, and another for the advanced amateur. This book 
is by no means limited in appeal to California gardeners. WE CAN SUPPLY 
AUTOGRAPHED COPIES AT $3.15 POSTPAID.
