New IRISES for 1936 
LUCRE (C. G. White) 
The brightest of the new large flowered yellows that 
we have yet seen, Lucre is a rich lemon Chrome self with a 
flush of Old Gold on the upper part of the fall. The beard 
is bright Cadmium Yellow. The flowers measure 5 inches 
by 5 inches and are carried on 4-foot widely branched 
stems. The plants are exceptionally vigorous and multiply 
rapidly, so that a single plant soon becomes a clump, and 
produces a wealth of sparkling yellow flowers. $10.00 
BLUE PETER (C. G. White) 
A magnificent dark rich 
blue-purple bi-color with 
large flowers measuring 5 by 
6 inches on 3H foot well- 
branched stems. The stan¬ 
dards are intense Bradley’s 
Violet. The falls are like 
pieces of lustrous Prune Pur¬ 
ple velvet with a black sheen, 
and blend to a dark brown 
velvet in the hafts. There is no 
white visible in the center of 
the flower, and there is no 
fading of color at the edges 
of the petals. The beard is 
dark, tipped with orange. 
Blue Peter is the name of a 
blue flag which is hoisted at 
the fore royalmasthead of 
merchant vessels as a signal 
that the ship is ready to sail.

FIESTA (C. G. White) 
Instantly attracting the attention of all visitors because 
of its most unusual and beautiful copper tones, Fiesta is 
destined to outstanding popularity. The flowers are beau¬ 
tifully formed, with broad rounding petals, and are 6 
inches high by 5 Hi inches wide. The color of the stan¬ 
dards is Honey Yellow, blended with golden brown, and 
flushed with mauve in the center. The falls have an Orange 
Cinnamon undertone, with bright yellow in the haft, and 
a brilliant beard. There is a flush of mauve in the center 
of the falls, and both standards and falls are covered with 
sparkling gold dust. The buds are particularly beautiful, 
having the appearance of burnished copper. Height 38 
inches. $20.00 
VIEW-HALLOO (C. G. White) 
A seedling of the famous Lady Paramount, and by far 
the most outstanding variegata we have yet seen. The 
flowers are large, with heavy broad petals, and are carried 
on splendid foot stems. The standards are a clear 
Primuline Yellow tinted with old gold, and are strikingly 
contrasted by falls of Dahlia Carmine edged with old gold. 
This iris easily surpasses any other variegata in size of 
flower and height of stem. It is a profuse bloomer. View- 
halloo is the shout uttered by 
the huntsman on seeing the 
fox break cover. $10.00 
WESTWAYS (C. G. White) 
Here is an iris that is fas¬ 
cinatingly different. It is an 
adorable little blue flower on 
slender graceful stems only 
18 inches tall, and makes a 
most beautiful display as a 
table decoration. The color 
is light wistaria violet, with a 
bright wistaria blue patch in 
the center of the falls. The 
beard is broad and heavy and 
is a bright orange gold, giv¬ 
ing a warm glow in the heart 
of the flower. For perfect 
symmetry, poise and beauty 
of form, this little gem has no 
equal. 
Westways increases rap¬ 
idly and we are therefore in¬ 
troducing it at a price that 
will allow its'general distri¬ 
bution 75c each; 3 for $2.00 
GOOD CHEER (Sturtevant) 
In the spring of 1934 we were in Miss Sturtevant s 
garden and saw Good Cheer in bloom as a seedling. It was 
the center of attraction, and stood out prominently among 
hundreds of other irises because of the clean brilliance 
of its color. The standards are a clear strontian yellow, made 
all the more brilliant in contrast to the falls which have a 
bright yellow ground color thickly veined with pompeian 
red. The flowers are of good size and excellent form, and 
are carried on graceful 38-inch stems. 
One of the leading iris breeders of the country as¬ 
serts "Good Cheer is the finest true variegata I have ever 
seen. $ 10.00
