IRISES 
OUR OWN INTRODUCTIONS 
(All originated in this garden unless otherwise stated) 
ACROPOLIS (1929). H. M., A. I. S. A seedling of Conquistador by 
Moa, combining the richness of color of the pollen parent and the antecedent 
Dominion with the size and rampancy of the seed parent. When well grown 
this rich pure violet bicolor with dark velvety falls and lighter, more trans¬ 
lucent standards is a magnificent plant; one of the few dark irises which 
illuminates well indoors; 4^2 to 6 ft... each $1.25 
BERNARDINO (1931). H. M., A. I. S. This is an enormous tall laven¬ 
der and rosy purple bicolor of beautiful symmetry and carrying effect in the 
garden. Of Dominion parentage, it has been outstanding even among its 
relatives. This grand plant is in a class with Mauna Loa and Acropolis for 
magnificence. Early; 4 ft. or over. each $3.50 
BLUE DEEP (1936). A rich and brilliant iris in tones of deep violet with 
a magnificent rich brown throat; bred from pollen of Mme. Gaudichau on a 
seedling having Orizaba and a sib of the latter as its parents; one of the out¬ 
standing fine things we have raised; 4 ft.; stock small.-. each $10.00 
BROCADE (1933). A rich-hued bicolor, exceptional in style, form, size 
and poise; S. Ageratum Violet to Wood Brown; F. Dahlia Purple to Black¬ 
ish Red-Purple, set off by a narrow interrupted margin of pale violet gray, 
beard Cadmium Yellow; magnificent for exhibition; 4R> to 5 ft. each $5.00 
CACIQUE (1925). H. M., A. I. S. Plandsome, upstanding fulva hybrid, 
in Prune-Purple and Blackish-Purple; brilliant gold arrow on falls. Likes 
humus in soil and responds to good treatment. Reported hardy nearly every¬ 
where . -50c, 3 for $1.00 
CALINDA (Reibold 1933) Floriferous, somewhat ruffled, soft yellow- 
toned blend, of light and charming garden effect; bred from Plumed Knight 
by pollen of Mme. Cheri; 3 ft... each 50c 
CANYON MISTS (1926). A very light mauve self. Has a long season 
and does not fade out seriously in bright sun. A delightful subject; 3 to 
Z l / 2 ft. -35c; 3 for 70c 
CAVALCADE (Sturtevant 1931). A big husky variegata, stronger grow¬ 
ing than anything of its color class we have seen. Perhaps easiest described 
as a stronger, taller and more brightly colored Fortuna. Of striking garden 
effect and highly recommended for California; 3 ft. each 50c; 3 for $1.00 
COLONIAL (1932). A soft bicolor in tan and rose, warming in the heart 
to Deep Colonial Buff, and the F. with a bloom like the cheek of a peach 
(Dahlia Carmine of Ridgway). You will want this the moment you see it. 
Early; 2-2jT ft. each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
CRUCIBLE (1929). Grayish lavender with conspicuous golden throat 
which lends it noteworthy garden value. Large, floriferous, and distinct. An 
interesting parent in breeding; 3^2 ft. each 50c; 3 for $1.00 
DAYSPRING (1936). Another exquisite early yellow which in time of 
bloom follows hard on Moongold; a light yellow self in effect with a wash of 
metallic orange across the fall; exceptionally warm and appealing in the 
garden. This is a new break in yellow which appeared unexpectedly in a 
brood of seedlings bred for reds; 40 in. each $10.00 
ENCHANTED WATER (1937). Large flower of delightfully clean pure 
bright lavender coloring on relatively slender stems, the color solid to the 
orange-tipped beard; of exceptional charm in the garden picture; 4 ft. (This 
was first listed as Minnetonka).each $5.00
