NENE (Cay. ’28) A veritable giant of an iris — just watch those blossom stalks stretch up! And 
the Rower, nearly 9", compares well with the stem. The S. are a slaty-blue,- the F., very 
long, are reddish-purple. 48". $0.85 
NEON (Salb. ’34) "Cannot be overlooked by the most casual garden visitor.” Heralded as the 
most brilliant of the variegatas, with the S. of bronzy gold and the F. of velvety carmine, lit by 
a bright orange beard. A brilliant banner! 48". $7.50 
NINGALL (Ayres ’32) Captivating indeed is this iridescent blue and buff iris that has an unusually 
smooth finish. The bronzy-buff S. are slightly crinkled; the buff F. have an underlay of pale 
blue. 46". 3 for $3.50; $1.50 
NINIGRET (Hill ’34) Among the irises that have an orange effect in the garden, we found no other 
that increases as rapidly as this one does. Much the coloring of old Grapta, but larger and 
taller. 38"... $8.50 
NORDIC (Kirk. ’34) “A race of men characterized by tall stature, blond hair, blue eyes and elong¬ 
ated head” states the Century Dictionary. We find these same Vigorous qualities, omitting 
the blue eyes and rounding out that elongated head, in the iris Nordic, one of the most un¬ 
usual in shape of the variegatas. The golden-tan S. and red-violet F. make this a striking 
iris. 40". $1.50 
NORMA GAGE (Gage ’33) Norma has found a different pink dress,- the foundation is white, 
the upper part is flushed with pink, the skirt is flecked with the same tone. This free-blooming 
medium height iris has interesting texture and substance. $2.50 
NO-WE-TA (H. P. Sass ’32) Yes — we have No-we-ta, we like No-we-ta, and we are quite 
certain that you will, also. A bewitching low-growing iris of pink, slightly yellow flushed, 
of amazingly fast increase. 32". 3 for $3.50; $1.50 
NURMAHAL (Nich. ’31) Shades of brown, partially overlaid with violet, this iris is dark, yet 
bright, with a heavy velvety substance, Some think it better in all respects than Bliss’ Grace 
Sturtevant. 36"..-. 3 for $3.50; $1.50 
OCTOBER MAPLES (Sass-Thomas ’31) Somewhere among the autumn leaves, one will find the 
replica of this giddy, low-growing, yellow and crimson-veined iris. 32". 3 for $1.50; $0.75 
OJIBWAY (Kirk. ’35) A real Indian, this time, among the Kirkland coppers,- taller and as vigorous, 
of fine upstanding carriage, more copper in effect, as the tribe gathers. The S. of the 
medium sized flowers, on high branched stalks, are bright coppery tan,- the flaring F. 
(CftTA are rose - co PP er / with much yellow underlay, giving a coral velvet effect. A glowing 
garden clump is made by this beautifully rounded iris of pleasing shape. 40". $10.00 
ORIANA (H. P. Sass ’33) Of purest white, this large flower with broad petals, is almost perfect 
in form, and of rapid growth. We strongly recommend Oriana as the best of the medium 
priced whites. 36". $3.00 
ORIENT PEARL (Murr. ’30) A pearl among the pale blends — composed of pale pink, mauve 
and yellow. $1.75 
OXHEART (Nich. ’34) This is an iris, not a cherry! The color is a deep rich sfrawberry-red-purple, 
with a distinct rose effect, and a grape fragrance. The F. are large, circular and velvety. 
36". $3.00 
OZONE g. Sass ’35) We breathe it; now we can see it! And when we see it, we decide we 
fe can’t live without it! A grey blend, made up of bluish violet with a beautiful pinkish 
/rwn sheen, like a mountain top at sunset. The beard is white, tipped with orange,- the 
£ ^ stem is 36", well branched. $10.00
