the blue of Phlox divaricata, edged narrowly with the dark 
blue of the F., which are velvety in texture. Late 34". S2.00 
HERMENE (Park. 1933) A soft, rather dark pink, slightly 
flushed with blue and cheered by a gold heart. The texture is 
heavy and satiny. Early. 40". 3 for $1.00, $.50

size and fast growth. 40". H.M., A.I.S., 1930. 3 for $1.00, $.50 
JOLLY ROGER (Nich. 1934) The tallest of the very dark 
blue irises. The blue is so dark, so rich and lustrous, that it is 
practically black. F. are flaring. 36". $3.00 
JOYANCE (K. Dykes 1931) We joyously fall in love with 
this iris of white and gold. The broad S. are clear white, except 
for a pale green midrib; the F. are the same, washed half way 
down the edges with gold, and having a few chestnut venations. 
The beard is long and of very deep orange. A superlatively 
lovely iris. 38". $2.00 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. P. Sass 1932) We like this the best 
of the medium-priced pinks. A charming shade of blush-pink, 
with long drooping F., set off by a lemon-yellow beard. 40". 
H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $1.25 
INDIAN CHIEF (Ayres 1929) A G-O-O-D iris. Two shades 
of alive bright red, tall and fine. 40". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
INDIGO BUNTING (Ayres 1933) Admirably named, as the S. 
and the lower edges of the F. are indigo blue,- the center of 
the F. is flushed with purple. A crisp cool blue, very appealing. 
36". $2.00 
IRMA MOORE (Emig. 1935) The whole effect is a rosy 
tone. The crinkled S. are pale flesh suffused with pale violet; 
the rosy-violet F. are edged with the color of the S. 36". $1.75 
JAMES STORER (Stor. 1931) The flowers are of immense 
size, with S. of rhododendron hue, and F. of pansy 
purple. The latter have Dominion depth of color and 
“shine like one of those old fashioned heavy velour 
stage curtains.” $25.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres 1935) Yellow costumes must be worn 
by those participating in the fete in India, called 
Jasmania. The iris is a deep yellow, with large flowers 
well poised on tall stalks. The domed S. are clear 
yellow,- the semi-flaring F. are lightly brushed with 
pale brown on the haft and have a slight bluish tinge at the 
center. “Jasmania, in juxtaposition to Burning Bronze, brings a 
thrill to the color-sensitive soul.” 42". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. 
$22.50 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cay. 1931) A masterpiece! Light brown, 
or the palest bronzed-buff, all shot with gold. A flower of 
super-perfect shape, alive both in color and form; a beard of 
gold, touched off by a hint of blue at the tip. 30". Dykes' Medal, 
France, 1931. A.M., A.I.S., 1936. $3.50

so velvety. The stalk is widely branched and very heavy. 40". 
A.M., A.I.S., 1933. $5.00 
JELLOWAY (Parker 1936) This iris was recommended to us 
as one of the very interesting new yellows. The whole 
flower, including the crests, is pure lemon chrome, 
with a few deeper yellow venations on the haft. 
Grown in Washington in the hot sun, it is “guaranteed 
not to fade or burn.” 42". $10.00 
JERRY (Laph. 1934) A very bright red, with horizontal F. on 
which the deep velvety quality is carried to the edge. Low 
branched, and vivid for color effect. 34". Late. $2.00 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass 1932) Reported from everywhere as the 
best of the wine-red irises, yet for growth here, we still prefer 
Red Radiance. A mighty lovely soft red iris. 42". A.M., A.I.S., 
1936. $3.50 
JUNALUSKA (Kirk. 1934) We are glad to give unqualified 
praise to this iris. The coloring is distinct — rose, copper and 
gold are blended into an iridescent brilliance. Blooms are 
large on tall, excellently branched stems, and growth is vigor¬ 
ous. A R-E-A-L iris! Many say, “Dr. Kirkland’s outstanding intro¬ 
duction.” H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $7.50

tourmaline pink, blended with some yellow. The F. have a large

with horizontal F. and magnificent branching. 40". $.50

golden-buff S. are suffused with garnet-brown; the velvety 
garnet-brown F. are edged with buff. 30". 3 for $1.15, $.50 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres 1932) A happy blend of soft buff and 
light blue with a pink underglow. There is more blue in the F. 
than in the S., and the flower has a golden center. Recommended 
for semi-shade. 44". H.M., A.I.S., 1931. $3.00 
LADY GAGE (Gage 1934) A satisfactory white for massing 
in garden, because of the free-flowering and rapid increase. 
The medium sized blooms have a delicate pink flush when first 
open. 30". 3 for $2.25, $1.00 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White 1933) Supreme in our 
affections, supreme in the iris world among the soft primrose 
yellow seifs, this Lady stands in her matchless beauty! The extra 
large, magnificently formed flowers of firm, silky texture are 
proudly carried on tall, widely branched stems. 44". A.M., 
A.I.S., 1936. $5.00 
LARGO (Ash. 1931) One of the restful irises. The large 
rounded S. are soft buff; the F. are the same, with a center of 
dull rose. Fast-growing and floriferous. 40". $.75 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salb. 1936) Picture the mariner’s surprise 
when, across the waters, he sees a pink-toned light¬ 
house, surrounding a golden light! Picture the iris 
fancier’s delight, when he sees this, transformed into 
an iris! The S. are old rose, the flaring F. are rose-red. 
The entire center of the flower is gold. Beautiful and distinct, 
“unquestionably bound for real popularity.” Late. 36". $15.00 
LOS ANGELES (M. M. 1927) A very large plicata that, 
at a little distance, gives a pure white appearance. Tall and 
frosted. 42". $.50
