AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
21 
GOLD SPANGLE (Nicholls 1934) M. 34". 
Soft primrose yellow with blooms of much the same form 
as Jean Cayeux. $1.00 
GOLD STANDARD (Edelman 1928) M. 36". 
We retain this variety because of its landscape value. 
It is a creamy yellow with a golden throat and a fiery orange 
beard. Not large, but tall and floriferous. 25c 
GRACE STURTEVANT (Bliss 1926) EM. 32". 
A tall velvety red-brown with a blackish lustre on the 
falls. A brilliant yellow beard sets well on this ensemble. 
If you are without a fine brown, this is your iris. 25c 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32". 
One of the three finest whites, and the finest of them all 
for foreground planting. A very large variety with shapely 
blooms of splendid velvety texture (unusual among the 
whites). Not a cold white but a warm, lustrous one — 
despite its snowy color: due in part to the warm golden 
beard and haft markings, and in part to a sparkling overlay 
of gold dust throughout the flower. Gudrun is a very finished 
iris, and one that will be the pride of any fancier's garden. 
$ 2.00 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934) EM. 36". 
This very large medium-deep yellow has fine branching 
and rivals El Capitan itself in size. There is no larger 
yellow, though others excel in depth of color and charm of 
form. Happy Days requires winter protection in our sec¬ 
tion. $7.50 
HELIANE (Millet 1931) L. 34". 
A very distinctive plicata: deep violet pencilled sharply 
on white, with a bright orange beard. $1.00 
HELIOS (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
A large, luminous lemon-yellow; falls the same color 
reticulated soft brown. 50c 
HENRI RIVIERE (Millet 1927) L. 38". 
A pastel-type variegata: standards soft lemon yellow; 
falls rosy-lilac edged cream with a blending of canary yellow 
toward the throat. There is considerable venation on the 
falls. 35c 
HERMENE (Parker 1933) M. 34". 
A golden-throated rose-pink, very harmoniously blended. 
35c 
HOLLYWOOD (Essig 1929) ML. 32". 
Lavender-pink with infusions of soft yellow at the throat. 
An iris of very precise styling. 50c 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. Sass 1932) EM. 38". 
Silvery lilac with a creamy-pink iridescence. Large and 
tall. A very halcyon iris personality. $1.50 
INDIAN CHIEF (Ayres 1929) M. 36". 
Here is a bright "red bicolor that is moderate in price 
and worthy of a place in any garden. Standards deep pink; 
falls velvety crimson. A prolific grower. 25c 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant-Schreiner 1937) M. 37". 
A rich true-purple, somewhat similar to Magenta in color 
but deeper, and, incidentally, about three times as large. 
Blooms are of good substance and of fine oval form. A 
thrifty grower and good propagator. When this variety 
gets down in price it will be in heavy demand for massing, 
since it makes a gloriously rich clump of a color which has 
unusual carrying power. $10.00 
INDIGO BUNTING (Ayres 1934) M. 34". 
One of the leading blues for landscaping. In shade it is 
half-way between a medium blue and a violet. The' color, 
which is uniform thruout the flower, is very rich, carrying 
well. Indigo Bunting possesses attractive form with slightly 
flaring falls. $2.00 
IRMA POLLACK (H. Sass 1931) E. 36". 
Velvety red-purple of considerable intensity. 25c 
ITASCA (Kleinsorge 1934) ML. 34". 
Rich amethyst-purple of fine form and carriage. $8.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres 1936) M. 38". 
A tall, well-branched deep yellow of extra fine form. The 
falls have a slight buff infusion which makes them slightly 
darker than the standards. A most commendable color and 
a flower with real character. $30.00 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux 1931) L. 34". 
An outstanding iris in the copper section — the Dykes 
Medal winner in France in 1931. This full-petaled flower 
with its slight suggestion of a frill, has a pleasing grace and 
opulence of form. Its novel tones of light havana brown 
with a lustre of golden biscuit-tan show up at their richest 
in the slanting rays of the early morning sun. $3.50 
JEB STUART (Washington 1932) ML. 36". 
A very well-groomed flower of fine military bearing; in 
color an intense velvety red-brown entirely without vena¬ 
tion and with a rich orange beard. A very high class iris. 
$5.00 
JERRY (Lapham 1933) ML. 33". 
A medium-large iris of unusually red color —almost ruby 
in garden effect. Blooms are clean-cut, flaring. $2.00 
JOLLY ROGER (Nicholls 1934) M. 36". 
A clean-cut vivid bicolor of ultra-marine and azure. 
$3.00 
JOYANCE (K. Dykes 1929) M. 36". 
This sister seedling of the famous Gudrun is an ivory- 
cream of unusual height, and like Gudrun, of exceptional 
vigor. Since cream is needed more than any other color 
for its blending effect in the garden picture, use this iris 
generously —• especially for background plantings where its 
tall stems suit it ideally to the role. $1.00 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass 1932) M. 36". 
A truly great red, which this year for the first time is 
down to a comparatively moderate price. Its nicely branched 
stems often carry two or three open blooms at the same 
time. Joycette is one of the largest in its color section and 
of a deep, glowing crimson color, being practically a self. 
We consider its clean-cut styling unsurpassed by any of 
the reds (see page 10). A distinct improvement over 
Dauntless or Indian Chief. $3.00 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) EM. 36". 
Essentially a red iris, but, unlike other reds, blended by 
an infusion of gold and copper about the throat. A splendid 
regal sort that wins a great deal of admiration. $7.50 
KALINGA (Kleinsorge 1934) M. 36". 
A new cream of good size and lovely flaring form. Branch¬ 
ing and height are ideal. $3.50 
KATHERINE McFARLAND (Spitzer 1928) M. 28". 
A flower of only medium size but a gem for color: deep 
violet of unusual intensity. 25c 
KATISHA (C. Hall 1933) M. 32". 
A pleasant blend of tourmaline pink with a soft yellow 
influence. $1.00 
KING JUBA (H. Sass 1931) M. 36". 
A variegata several times as large as any in existence a 
few years ago is rich burnished-yellow and velvety garnet- 
red King Juba. A prolific bloomer. Unquestionably one of 
the best in its color group. 40c
