Over-the-Garden-Wall 
FIESTA (White 1936) All dressed up in festival colors is this 
very unusual and beautiful copper-toned iris. The S. 
are blended of honey-yellow, golden brown and 
mauve; the F. are orange-cinnamon, with yellow and 
mauve. Petals are broad and rounded, and all are covered 
with sparkling gold dust. “The buds are particularly beautiful, 
having the appearance of burnished copper.” 38". $15.00 
FLUSH OF DAWN (Berry 1931) Charming tones of light 
lobelia violet, with a bit of buff. $.50 
FRANKLIN B. MEAD (Mead-Ried 1936) Another large 
and beautiful new plicata, on the type of Los Angeles, 
'■ but reliably hardy. The flowers are large on low- 
branched, very tall stalks. 50". $15.00 
flowers, well placed on low-branched stems, have ruffled 
tawny yellow S. and velvety, semi-flaring oxblood-red F. of 
heavy substance. 35". $10.00 
GOLDEN LIGHT (H. P. Sass 1933) “Glowing candles 
that radiate beauty as they sway in the breeze.” The ruffled 
petals are of gold, rose-edged. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $3.00 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schr. 1936) Far lovelier than any 
pirate’s hidden riches, is this new cream iris, yellow 
washed. “Its loveliness seems to lie principally in its 
shimmering silkiness of texture and in the subtle infusion 
of golden light throughout the center of the flower.” 
To this, add excellent form and substance. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 
1936. $17.50 
FRIVOLITE (Cay. 1929) A most charming combination of 
light pink and yellow, that gives a shrimp-pink for garden 
effect. 40". $.50 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grint. 1936) The finest, smoothest, 
reddest iris yet introduced. "We believe some feat of 
magic must be responsible for the smooth lacquered 
finish and the lack of veining” writes the introducer. 
The 7" flower is described as having arched S. of 
glowing red velvet, and wide velvety F. It is fragrant and has 
a rich orange beard. 40". $30.00 
GAUCHO (Wmsn. 1935) A very attractive variegata, with 
soft yellow S. and fine velvety red F., edged with yellow. 
Branching and substance are excellent. 32". $1.00 
GENEVIEVE SEROUGE (Cay. 1932) An “up and down” 
flower on excellent stalks. The large, crinkled S. are light buff, 
sparkling with gold; the straight-hanging F. are light violet- 
blue, edged with buff. The foliage is unusually high and graceful. 
42". Special Award, Paris, 1932. $3.00 
GILEAD (And. 1931) A golden bronze, that makes a de¬ 
lightful counterfoil for some of the light blends. The large 
flowers are well carried on exceptionally low and widely 
branched stems. 42". H.M., A.I.S., 1932. $.75 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) “It’s delicious, it’s delightful, 
it’s delovely!” Oh that, on a hot June day, we could be as 
cool as you look to be, with your frosted petals, Gloriole! 
The flower, of a charming light blue, carries the heaviest frosting 
of any iris we know; the quintessence of pale blue loveliness. 
To this beauty of color can be added the essentials of a good 
iris — excellentj^form, substance and growth. 42". A.M., 
A.I.S., 1935. $9.00 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitch. 1936) There’s so much gold in 
California that, rather than turn it into the U. S. Treasury, 
they have made a bear of pure gold! Reported to be 
taller and twice as large as Pluie d’Or, with just as 
rich a color, that glistens. The S. are domed, the F. 
are slightly flaring. 36". $7.50 
GOLDEN FLARE (Ins. 1931) This iris is more pink than 
gold, rather coppery in mass effect. The ruffled S. have a wide 
pink edge around the gold centers; the flaring F. are all pink. 
There is an extravagantly long and bright orange beard. 33". 
3 for $3.50, $1.50 
GOLDEN HELMET (J. Sass 1933) One can picture a 
knight of old, riding home from battle with a dulled helmet 
and the red of his velvet cape, blood-soaked. The fairly large 
GOLD SPANGLE (Nich. 1934) This delightful clear yellow 
iris is all bespangled with sparkling gold. The bloom has good 
substance and flaring F. 34". 3 for $1.85, $.75 
GOLD VELLUM (Gage 1934) Named because of the vellum¬ 
like quality of the petals. Interesting in a mass. Late. 27". $2.00 
GOLDWING (Nich. 1934) This golden iris needs to wing its 
way far and fast, to outclass others of the same color. 36". $.75 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935) Without exception, the most 
exciting iris we saw last season. A seedling of William 
Mohr — and who is there that does not exclaim over 
that big, beruffled bloom? Grace is taller, a bit deeper 
in color, immense in size, and more hardy. The ground 
color is a gray-lavender, almost completely covered with deeper 
veinings, the effect being a soft — shall we say — gray-purple? 
36". $12.50 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) An imposingly large pure white 
bloom, dusted with gold at the throat, and with a gold wire 
edge on the petals. Almost too large for the height of the stalk, 
but everyone wants it! 26". A.M., A.I.S., 1936. $2.50 
GUYASUTA (Hall 1931) Exceptionally rich and velvety, this 
iris of the deepest violet makes a mighty fine showing. Sub¬ 
stance is excellent. 30". $1.50 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitch. 1934) The sunshine of California, 
made into an iris by the magic touch of Prof. Mitchell, has 
brought us Happy Days. An immense bloom of clear yellow 
that has a glistening finish. The F. are a tone deeper than the S. 
Happy, indeed, are the days, when this iris blooms in your 
garden! 40". H.M., A.I.S., 1935. $7.50 
HEARTH FIRE (Emig. 1935) A rosy glow, made up of light 
bronze S. flushed with reddish violet, and deep velvety carmine- 
violet F., that have a crimson underlay, and a beard of deep 
gold. 32". $2.50 
HEARTHSTONE COPPER (Hearth. 1932) Copper and the 
open fire — a delightful picture that wins us all. As does the 
brilliancy of the iris. The S. of bright old gold blend down to 
fiery red F. Late. 30". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
HELIANE (Mil. 1931) The almost solid border of deepest 
blue-violet around the wide petals, makes this a different 
plicata. The beard is deep orange. $2.00 
HELIOS (Cay. 1929) Soft amber yellow, with nicely rounded 
petals. The flower has a fine form and exquisite finish. 34". $.50
