THURATUS (H. P. Sass). We have only lately dis¬ 
covered the real worth of this variety. One of the 
darkest of all irises. A large flower of blackish-purple 
showing crimson tones when the sun shines. While 
the flowers are big they have refinement of form and 
finish. $ .75

tan and straw yellow coloring. The flowers give a 
brown effect and are well placed on 40" stems with a

TRAIL’S END (Williamson 1934) M. 38". Selected 
by us in the garden of this noted hybridizer the year 
before his death. It has been compared with other 
blends, but it is distinct and resembles none. S. dull 
yellow overlaid soft orange-red, and the falls remind 
one of the berry of the bittersweet after it has been 
touched by frost. A strong grower and good bloomer, 
it is, generally speaking, a good iris, but its outstand¬ 
ing characteristic is the beauty of its coloring which 
instantly attracts the eye. 
H.M., A.I.S., 1933. $15.00 
VALOR (Nicholls 1932) 50". Large blooms of perfect 
shape. S. blue violet, domed and firm; F. blue violet

glowing purple with every good quality, including 
delicious fragrance.

white Dominion seedling on tall branching stems. The

tions of this famous hybridizer.

red edged bronze; beautiful yellow throat reticulated 
brown. The flower stems are 4 feet in height, well 
branched and stately. One of the best we list. 
Dykes Medal, 1929. $1.50 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirkland 1931) L. 40". A very 
large flower of unusual and most attractive shimmer¬ 
ing pale violet shades; it is a self, but the falls are 
slightly deeper than the standards. The form of the 
flower is perfect and its substance gives it a long 
blooming period. Highly recommended. $1.50
