JOYANCE (K. Dykes '31) A creamy white with a gold wash half 
way down the lower petals and with gold venations at the haft. A 
jolly companion piece to any iris in your garden — as this cream 
white blends so well with each and every color, bringing out the 
intensity and light in all the blooms nearest it. A sister of Gudrun, 
it has the same sturdy growth, but is exceptionally tall. 38". $1.00 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass '32) Some say "the best of the wine reds", yet 
for growth here, we still prefer Red Radiance. 42". A.M. '36. $1.25 
JUNALUSKA (Kirk. '34) "A flower of rose, gold and copper; a 
subtle blending of color which is difficult to describe" — radiating 
an iridescent glow o'er all the garden. We recommend this heartily, 
not only for its outstanding colors, but also for its excellent habits, 
profuse blooms, tall strong stalks and fine branching. You can't 
let this iris slip by, unnoticed. 42". A.M. '37. $4.50 
KATISHA (Hall '33) Katisha, tourmaline pink blended with some 
yellow, is unbelievably dainty and charming, not only in coloring 
but also in poise and grace. The falls have a large light area, with 
a deep orange beard. Many flowers are delicately carried and well 
spaced on 34" stems. $1.00 
KHORASAN (H. Sass '37) A massive blended variegata, with 
domed, dull gold standards and nearly auburn falls, flushed 
violet below the beard, and held almost horizontally. 36". 
$ 10.00 
KING JUBA (H. Sass '30) A large variegata that has always been 
in great demand because of the clear cut color contrast between 
the gold standards and the deep velvety red falls, edged with gold. 
34". 3 for $.50, $.25 
KING MIDAS (Mead '29) Golden red-brown in effect. King Midas 
is a popular favorite. One of the earliest to bloom 30" $.25 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres '32) A happy blend of soft buff and light blue 
with a pink underglow. There is more blue in the falls than in the 
standards, and the flower has a golden center. Recommended for 
semi-shade. 44". H.M. '31. $2.00 
LADY GAGE (Gage '34) A satisfactory white for massing in the 
garden, because of the free-flowering and rapid increase. The 
medium sized blooms have a delicate pink flush when first open. 
30 ". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White '33) She's a soft primrose yellow of 
excellent form and very fine finish, with full domed standards and 
broad semi-flaring skirts — a Lady, indeed — poised in bearing, 
noble of visage, and matchless in beauty! Dressed in garments of 
exquisite silky texture this glowing, extra large yellow iris is carried 
on graceful, tall, finely branched stems. Everyone adores Lady Para¬ 
mount, and many claim that she is the best of the light yellows. A 
judge commented; — "this was unforgettable in Mrs. Kellogg's gar¬ 
den." 44". A.M. '36. $2.50 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salb. '36) A guide to the mariner — this beacon 
of light at sea; a guide to the iris lover — this beacon of rosy glow 
in the garden. The standards are old rose; the flaring falls, rose-red, 
with a great torch of gold lighting up the center. "It is the brightest 
iris in the garden" and the blooms are the acme of perfection — 
large, round, of good substance and smooth texture. Late. 36". 
H.M. '37. 57.50 
LOS ANGELES (M.M. '27) A very large plicata that, at a Uttle 
distance, gives a pure frost white appearance. Magnificent, with 
three blooms open together. 42". $.50 
LOUVOIS (Cay. '36) The standards are havana tinted brown and 
the falls are velvety maroon, edged with bronze. The beard 
is orange. 36". C.M. & Special Prize. $15.00 
LUCRE (White '36) Sunkist crossed with Pure Gold ought to bring 
us riches — and it has — it brought us Lucre. Hoarded gold flushes 
the upper portions of the luminous deep yellow falls, the color being 
carried up to the bright orange beard. The standards are also rich 
yellow. Fast growing, vigorous, free blooming and widely branched. 
$5.00 
LUCREZIA BORI (Schr. '35) She sings her own praises, this very 
large yellow of the darker shade, with the color intensified by a 
deep orange beard. The standards are cupped, broad and ruffled; 
the feills are long and stylishly flaring, sometimes flecked with lav¬ 
ender. It is unusual to find an iris of such exceptionally heavy sub¬ 
stance, that is so delightfully ruffled. 42". H.M. '36. $8.00 
MABEL TAFT (Ware. '32) This marvelous giant blue iris, with its 
velvety falls amazes us with its tremendous blooms and superb, 
husky, healthy foliage. 38". 3 for $.75, $.35 
MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY (Cay. '35) A very striking amoena. 
The standards are flax blue and the falls are violet-blue, edged with 
lavender. 36". Winner of the Dykes' Medal in France, '35. $15.00 
MME. ULMANN (Cay. '36) Almost a blue self. The standards are 
blue with a silver reflex; and the semi-flaring falls are a 
little brighter blue, with an orange beard. Outstanding form 
and branching; also, very free flowering. 36". $20.00 
MAGNETAWAN (Kirk. '35) Another Indian, "the" most attractive 
of Dr. Kirkland's copper series. The beautifully rounded standards 
of exquisite copperish-brown, and the large vertical falls of copper- 
red, are upheld on low, well-branched stalks. 36". $3.00 
MAID OF ASTALOT (J. Sass '36) This Maid, who is by no means 
little, is clothed in almost pure white, with just a bit of blue stitch¬ 
ing along the throat-line. The large plicata with full domed stand¬ 
ards is perfectly hardy, coming as it does from Nebraska. Very taJl. 
45". $7.50 
MARCO POLO (Schr. '36) A clear toned red bicolor, whose color 
and fame has, and will continue, to travel far. The standards are lus¬ 
trous rose; the falls are velvety, brilliant crimson, almost without re¬ 
ticulations. The beard is bright orange. 36". H.M. '37. $7.50 
MARION (Mil. '31) A light porcelain-blue self that is distinct and 
different. The ruffled flowers with horizontal falls are well placed on 
fine 28" stalks. $ 1.00 
MARVELOUS (Kirk. '37) It is — hence the name! The effect is 
deep yellow with several lines of deep red painted at the 
base of the falls. A large flower with semi-flaring falls, on a 
strong growing, well branched stalk. A bright mass of 
bloom. 40". $10.00 
MARY GEDDES (Wash. '31) Mary's salmony-orange gown en¬ 
raptures all our hearts, and won for her the distinction of being the 
best, the most outstanding and superlative iris introduced in 1931, 
because it was awarded the Dykes' Medal in '36. The stiff standards 
are light yellow-salmon; the semi-flaring falls are the same, overlaid 
with red. 40". $1.00 
MAYA (Wash. '34) A tall strawberry-red, the color and stature of 
the old Mayas, with domed standards and very velvety falls that 
blend copper and gold at the haft. 40". $10.00 
MELDORIC (Ayres '30) Larger and darker than Blue Velvet, its 
bright beard makes a stunning contrast. A slow grower and sparse 
bloomer, but a winner and well worth a lot of patience. 37". $1.00 
MIDGARD (H. Sass '36) A soft charming pink with yellow delight¬ 
fully mixed in on the ruffled flowers. 34". $.25
