brownish red, intensified by an orange 
beard. Very rich, and tall and stately.

taining the newest varieties. A. M.,

at the price. Mid-season. 32-inch.

iris is very fine. Its plum red color¬ 
ing carries well in the garden, and its 
height adds to its showiness. Large, 
well formed flowers on 42-inch stems. 
Heavy substance, and blooms over a 
long period. Mid-season. $5.00

Greatest Advancement 
Iris enthusiasts are most free in their 
praise of the sensational new Mitchell 
yellows. Witness: “Two super iris in my 
opinion: Happy Days and California 
Gold. These spectacular yellows certain¬ 
ly leave little to be desired in this color 
classification. The brilliance of size and 
height of California Gold, and the all- 
around perfection of Happy Days are 
almost Utopian,” says a Californian, 
while an East Coast iris lover writes, 
“Happy Days and California Gold to me 
show the greatest single advancement in 
the search for good, tall yellows.” An¬ 
other finds California Gold comparable 
only to Happy Days, describing the for¬ 
mer as “A real yellow iris. Deeper yel¬ 
low than Happy Days, and has been 
classified as a brass yellow. In my opin¬ 
ion, this iris (California Gold) is as out¬ 
standing as Happy Days.” 
Carl Salbach is the exclusive intro¬ 
ducer of the Sydney B. Mitcheel iris, 
which includes many other triumphs be¬ 
sides the two top-notch yellows men¬ 
tioned above. 
KING MIDAS. We thoroughly recom¬ 
mend this iris as one which belongs in 
every garden, large or small. It is 
probably the brightest, richest of all 
the bronze-toned iris. The standards 
are golden buff, the falls iridescent 
garnet brown, lighted by golden orange 
beard and golden haft, from which the 
name was chosen. A flower of fine 
finish and heavy substance. 
A low-growing variety, but so rich¬ 
ly colored that it ranks among the very 
best, as is shown by the fact that it 
first sold at $50 per single rhizome. 
One of the very finest for breeding, 
being a parent to Natoma, Sunol, 
Berkeley Copper, and Berkeley Nugget. 
Early mid - season. 24 - inch. Stock 
limited. 35c; 3 for 75c 
KING TUT. One of the very brightest 
of the “red” iris on the market, pro¬ 
ducing this effect by its golden stand¬ 
ards and beard, and its bright Hessian 
brown falls. Valuable to breeders be¬ 
cause of its bright coloring. Mid¬ 
season. 25-inch. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
LADY LILFORD. Part oncocyclus, the 
same type of hybrid as William Mohr. 
Heavily veined. Sometimes produces 
blooms with 4 standards and 4 falls. 
A distinct flower of lavender purple. 
Mid-season. 18-inch. 50c; 3 for $1.35 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White). An im¬ 
mense light yellow, nearly as large as 
Happy Days. Bred from W. R. Dykes, 
which is also one of the parents of the 
sensational Happy Days. 
Referred to as “the” light yellow 
iris. Plants large and tall, well 
branched, with many blooms to a stalk. 
Mid-season. 40-inch. $5.00 
LE CORREGE. A very superior variety 
among the lower priced bronzes. 
Smoky bronze standards, plum red 
falls. Conspicuous yellow beard. Well 
branched and fragrant. Very popular. 
Mid-season. 30-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
LEGEND. In our opinion, the finest of 
the five iris sold from the famous Ware- 
ham collection in 1932. Color similar 
to Cardinal, but improved in every 
way — being taller, larger, better 
branched, and carrying many more 
very large, perfect blooms to the stalk. 
Very rich velvety crimson claret, with 
standards beautifully veined violet- 
blue. Its brilliant yellow beard is one 
of the most striking known to any iris, 
setting off the magnificent blooms in 
a fascinating manner. Late mid-season. 
40-inch. 65c; 3 for $1.50 
LEONATO. A greatly improved Lady 
Foster, larger, taller, lighter in color, 
but shapely and well proportioned. 
Pale lavender to silvery heliotrope. 
Early flowering. Very fragrant. 40-in. 
20c;3 for 40c 
LODESTAR. Easily the best and bright¬ 
est of the small variegatas. A fine 
doer everywhere and not only bright, 
but very rich. Bright yellow standards, 
clear red-brown falls. A. M., A. I. S., 
1927. 24-inch. 40c 
Carl Salbach • • • 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936). A fine 
bold iris given its name because the 
whole center of the flower lights up as 
if there were an electric light bulb 
hidden among the style branches. 
Standards old rose (Ridgway) except 
for the gold that lights the whole bot¬ 
tom-central portion of the standards. 
The “lighthouse” effect is increased by 
the gold of the beard and style 
branches. Falls slightly redder than 
the standards, being rose-red (Eugenia 
red by Ridgway). Unquestionably 
bound for real popularity, due to its 
entrancing contrast of colors. Decid¬ 
edly distinct, very showy, and the color 
combination is exquisite. Large, well 
branched, and with standards well 
domed. Falls flaring and substance 
heavy. Ranks with Radiant, Neon, 
Brunhilde, and Dark Knight as one of 
the finest Carl Salbach iris creations. 
Of unquestioned hardiness, being bred 
from Helios X Rameses. Completely 
sold out last season. Late blooming. 
36-inch. $10.00 
LORD LAMBOURNE. A rosy bronze bi¬ 
color which makes a fine clump in the 
garden. Gives a profusion of flowers. 
Early. 34-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
LORD WOLSELEY. See page 26. 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell ). This 
giant plicata, introduced with the 
Dykes Medal winner, San Francisco, 
alternates in favor with the latter — 
one person preferring Los Angeles, the 
next San Francisco. Los Angeles has 
more white and less of the blue plicata 
markings than San Francisco, and is 
a good doer everywhere. 
Great white flowers of fine shape and 
substance, the standards faintly edged 
blue with the blue style arms adding 
a note of clear blue in the center. Tall 
and widely branched. Most outstand¬ 
ing. Early. 40-inch 35c; 3 for 90c 
LOUIS BEL. Very dark pansy violet, 
showing red violet against the sun. 
One of the richest of the low iris in 
this color shade. Early. 20-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
LYCAENA. White standards with rich 
purple falls with paler margin. Re¬ 
freshingly attractive for a small iris. 
Mid-season. 27-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
MAGENTA. A very fine red violet self 
of satiny texture. Vivid and showy. 
Excellent substance. Late. 30-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
MAGNIFICA. Huge flowers of light 
violet blue standards and red violet 
falls. Fine grower, splendid in mass, 
and most popular. Early. 40-inch. 
20c; 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.35 
“It is to me the outstanding light yel¬ 
low iris, good form, clear even color.” 
—Mass., speaking of Lady Para¬ 
mount, in A. I. S. Bulletin.
