SEPTEMBER SKIES (Sass) 16". A purple self 
which blooms freely in spring and often in the late 
summer and fall. 50c. 
SOUTHLAND (Sass) 28". Very clear lemon-chrome 
yellow which excels all other early blooming yel¬ 
lows, as well as being a fairly reliable re-bloomer. 
$12.50. 
STYLOSA SPECIOSA (Ung uicularis species) 18". 
Our fine light blue winter bloomer, which flowers 
sometimes in November and December and always 
in February and March. As cut flowers, the blos¬ 
soms of this variety cannot be excelled. Every Iris 
lover living in the south, on the Pacific coast, or in 
any fairly mild section, should grow this unique 
and beautiful flower. It can be grown in the colder 
states if given protection, and is well worth trying 
out. Were we to be limited to ten varieties of Iris, 
we would choose this as one of them. Clumps $1.00; 
plants 50c. 
ULTRA (Sass) 18". Ultramarine blue, with a num¬ 
ber of flowers to a stalk. The most popular and 
best seller of all the twice-blooming class. 50c.

King in size, height, and branching, but pure white 
in color. A 1936 introduction by the most famous 
hybridizer of twice-blooming Iris. $25.00.

OUR OWN ORIGINATIONS 
N OT since 1923 have we placed a seedling of our own origination on the market. Through¬ 
out the intervening thirteen years we have been cross-hybridizing and have grown thous¬ 
ands of new seedlings but until this year, we did not produce any which we thought superior to 
those already available. 
But this season, we are proud to be able to offer a half dozen which we are sure will find a 
permanent niche in amateur and professional gardens. Not one of them can be classed as “just 
another iris”—for every one is distinct, either in color, size, or floriferousness while several are 
distinct in all three attributes. 
MICHELANGELO (Jean Cayeux x Tuscany Gold) 
43". Our introduction of 1936 which is THE IRIS 
OF THE YEAR—a distinctly new shade never be¬ 
fore found or even approached in Iris flowers. The 
large blossoms are a dark vinaceous grey through¬ 
out, including S., F., style arms, and beard. Best 
described as a dark dove grey. Color must be seen 
to be fully appreciated. It inherits this unique color 
hue from parents, each of which is an odd shade. 
Michelangelo is much darker than either parent, 
and shows no blue, purple, or red in its petals. Its 
coloring makes it stand out in any group of vari¬ 
eties with which it is planted. The most distinctive 
Iris flower we ever have seen—and all American 
Iris Society judges who have seen it agree with us. 
$25.00. 
NATIONAL PROSPERITY 40". We turned a corner 
in our garden during blooming season and our 
depression left us as we came across this wonderful 
blue variety. Why not plant it in your garden and 
enjoy Prosperity with us? Here is how it appears : 
S. deep blue, ruffled slightly at edges; F. deep blue, 
tinged violet, slightly lighter at edges. The color 
is accentuated by a gold beard. Flowers are large. 
$ 10 . 00 . 
PORCELAIN BEAUTY 36". We can recommend this 
one very highly because of its distinctive coloring 
—a blend of white, cream, and yellow which re¬ 
sembles old porcelain. While there are more than 
enough white and light yellow Iris now available, 
there is no variety of a color shade similar to Por¬ 
celain Beauty—it stands alone. Stalks are well- 
branched, and flowers are large. $10.00. 
PRINCE AMBA (Mary Geddes x Helios) 40". Similar 
to Helios but larger, taller, more floriferous, and 
stronger stalked ; also the penciling is much lighter 
and is brown instead of rose in shade. S. pure lemon 
yellow; F. lemon yellow with just the faintest lin¬ 
ing of brown. Style arms lemon yellow. Extra 
large flowers on well-branched, stiff cane-like 
stalks. Unusually late to bloom. $25.00. 
WINE GLORY 38". We have never groAvn an Iris in 
our commercial gardens which equals Wine Glory 
in the length of blooming season. Last year, it was 
one of the first to start blooming, and still bore 
blossoms when most of the other later flowering 
varieties had long since passed. The color of the 
flower is difficult to describe as it is neither a 
brilliant red, a purple, or even a red-purple blend. 
It is a combination of red, purple, violet, and some 
other shades which produce the same effect as 
when a glass of red wine is held between the eye 
and the light. An established plant bears more 
bloom stalks than any other variety we ever have 
had the pleasure of growing. $10.00. 
WONDERCHILD 37". Our own origination of deep¬ 
est midnight blue. Huge flowers placed close to¬ 
gether make each stalk a gigantic bouquet. Similar 
in color to Valor, Winneshiek, and Sir Knight, we 
recommend this variety as being far superior to 
them. All judges of the American Iris Society who 
visited our garden during the blooming season 
rated it A. $10.00. 
ONE EACH of our six new introductions, valued at 
$90, for $67.50.
