"Neon was the center of the stage this year.”—New England 
customer. 
Typical Examples 
of the remarkably fine iris we introduce are Neon, Alta California, China Rose, Natividad, 
Brunhilde, and Pink Jewel. These iris were produced by two of the world’s finest breeders, 
Sydney B. Mitchell and Carl Salbach—and introduced solely by ourselves. Every one of them 
ranks among the very finest in its own class_in fact, several of these actually head the list of 
iris of their own particular classification. 
Other standouts which have helped to establish us as the introducers of the world’s finest iris 
include Naranja, Grace Mohr, Natoma, Californja Gold, Dark Knight, Eleanor Blue, Frieda Mohr, 
Happy Days, Los Angeles, Purissima, Rubeo, Sunol, Tioga, and William Mohr. That we have 
introduced such leading iris in the past is one of a great number of evident facts that point to the 
name of “Salbach” as the world’s leading iris distributor. Other indications that back up this con¬ 
clusion are: the fine, firm, California-cured rhizomes that we send out; our policy of holding even 
the most highly praised varieties until we see them bloom and rate them as up to our standard; 
and our many services such as color reproductions, accurately done, cultural instructions, expertly 
prepared, and ready access to our gardens (a world famous paradise at iris time, as pictured on 
front cover).
