HAPPY DAYS, right, is perhaps the most sensational 
iris ever introduced—a variety whose blooms have taken 
the center of interest wherever grown, be it New Jersey, 
Georgia, or California. Created by that master hybridist, 
Sydney B. Mitchell, and introduced by Carl Salbach. A 
sellout in 1934, again in 1935, and already sold low for 1936. 
RUBEO, below, is another striking Mitchell-Salbach 
introduction. Tall and straight, right in color and bold of 
form, it stands among the very finest of all reds. According 
to one iris enthusiast, “Rubeo is my favorite of all irises. 
It is a prolific bloomer, multiplies rapidly, has magnificent 
color and texture and most vigorous stems. No other red 
can touch it.” 
A 
SOLE INTRODUCERS 
of the famous Mitchell va¬ 
rieties, we have always had 
as fine a set of new introduc¬ 
tions as anyone could hope 
for. Such breeding triumphs 
as Alta California, Happy 
Days, California Gold, Sunol, 
Rubeo, San Francisco, Los 
Angeles, Naranja, and others 
definitely stamp Professor 
Mitchell as one of, if not the 
finest iris hybridiser living. 
(See page three for the new 
Mitchell achievements which 
we are introducing this 
season.)
