TINT O’ TAN (Ayres 1933) A warm and brilliant golden-tan 
self. To review our tans: — Summer Tan is more of a copper and 
of medium height; Suntan is the giddy bathing beauty; the one 
under consideration is <3 self, done in a golden tan. And this 
iris has unusually long lacerated crests, that make an interesting 
profile. 40". $8.50 
TOSCANA (Count 1932) This is one of the attractive arty 
gold irises, deeper and richer than Vesper Gold. Form and 
substance are very fine. 36". 3 for $2.00, $1.00 
TRAIL’S END (Wmsn. 1934) An iris of orange-red tones, 
deeper and more red than Mary Geddes. The falls glint with 
a copperish tone in the sun. The stalk is enormously heavy. 38". 
H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $4.00 
UKIAH (Essig 1934) A rich and dark Californian Indian. 
The S. are a deep bronzy plum, with a dark wire edge; the 
large F. are all of rich, velvety mahogany, with a dull beard. 
The stalk is superb, and growth is fine. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 
1935. $4.00 
VALOR (Nich. 1932) Valorous in color — a rich deep 
violet; valorous in growth — exceedingly rapid; valorous in 
time — almost the last iris to bloom. The bloom is large and 
beautifully built with semi-flaring falls. We agree with the 
public — it’s G-O-O-D ! 52". A.M., A.I.S., 1936. $1.00 
VARESE (Wmsn. 1935) A rose-red purple, intense brilliancy, 
fine globular form, and great substance make this a noteworthy 
addition to the garden. 37". $5.00 
VENUS DE MILO (Ayres 1931) True to tradition, one is 
easily enamoured of Venus. This is easily the leading low-priced 
white iris. Of the purest white, it is the perfection of form and 
grace, and was the second choice for the Dykes’ Medal for this 
year. 30". A.M., A.I.S., 1935. $.65 
VISHNU (Sturt. 1930) Wrapped in the haze of Hindu myth, 
Vishnu is of cinnamon-brown, veiled with dull pink and red- 
lavender. 30". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
VISION (Cay. 1932) A variegata with fine clear yellow S. 
that contrast pleasingly with the deep red-brown F. The flower 
is of large size,- habits of growth are good. 36". C.M., S.N.H.F. 
$3.00 
WABASH (Wmsn. 1936) A mighty lovely new iris. The cupped 
S. are white; the slightly flaring F. are deep violet, 
with d definite white margin. 39". $9.00 
WAMBLISKA (J. Sass 1930) The White Eagle is a good 
blue-white iris. Hardy and fast-growing, very prolific. 32" 
H.M., A.I.S., 1931. $.50 
WAR EAGLE (J. Sass 1933) Eagle-like in its flight, this iris 
soars above all other red irises. Superbly built, of arresting 
carriage, the bloom glows with a rich coppery-red; the tallest 
and largest of the reds. 40". H.M., A.I.S., 1933. $10.00 
WASATCH (Thor. 1935) Perhaps the finest of the plicatas. 
The ground is a pure glistening white, and the blue markings 
are most attractive. The substance is remarkably heavy. 40". 
H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $7.50 
WESTWAYS (White 1936) "One of the most adorable 
flowers in existence.” The small blooms are light violet, 
with a wisteria-blue patch at the end of the beard. 
The stems are stiff but graceful; growth is rapid and 
the iris is a profuse bloomer. We wonder if this should 
not be included in the Table Iris section. 18". $1.00 
WILLIAM MOHR (M. M. 1925) A bloom so large, so 
exquisitely colored, so all be-ruffled, that all visitors exclaim 
over this iris. A soft grey-lavender, all veined and flushed with 
violet. 28". $.50 
VERT GALANT (Cay. 1929) A magnificent iris, with coppery- 
fawn S. that are suffused with soft lilac; and vivid garnet-red 
F., edged with bronze. 48". Dykes’ Medal, France, 1929. $.75 
VESTAL FLAME (Nich. 1934) A clear glistening creamy 
white, with a yellow beard and haft, the medium-sized flowers 
may be out of proportion to the very tall stems. 45". $.75 
VIEW-HALLOO (White 1936) View-halloo shout the 
huntsmen as they sight the fox; View-halloo is shouted 
/fjvkrK by the iris fancier when he sights this outstanding new 
Y'^ variegata. The S. are clear yellow, tinted with old 
gold; these form a striking contrast to the F. that are 
dahlia-carmine edged with old gold. The large flowers have 
broad petals, and are splendidly carried on tall stems. A profuse 
bloomer. 42". $7.50 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirk. 1931) The color of the violet haze 
that crowns the mountains of Greece, this iris, tall and stately, 
makes a marvelous mass of deep violet that crowns the garden 
picture. From the very first, this iris has won our hearts. 40". 
H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $.75 
WINNESHIEK (Egel. 1931) A beautifully shaped flower 
of intense deep violet, with velvety texture. 36". $.65 
YUCATAN (Kirk. 1935) Yucatan, the country that tempts the 
explorer of ancient temples,- Yucatan, the iris that tempts the 
explorer into the field of new irises! A soft blend of copper 
and gold and red. The arched, slightly ruffled S. are pinkish 
tan,- the reddish F. with a heavy gold haft, droop slightly. 36". 
$5.00 
ZAHAROON (K. Dykes 1927) A tall, very pale blend of 
amber, evanescent lavender and rose. 42". $.50 
ZUNI (Ayres 1931) The earliest of the glowing red-browns 
to come into bloom. The tan S. are dusted with gold; the F. 
are copperish red-brown. 40". $.65

released for sale in 1938. All these varieties received high 
awards in France last season.
