Finest Iris ••• 
INDIAN CHIEF. One of the best of 
the medium tall reds — another variety 
that is in such demand that it helps 
to dictate the advisability of ordering- 
early in the season. Without a peer 
among the medium tall reds of its 
color shade, and blooms earlier than 
most when good “red” iris are scarce. 
Bronzy violet standards with falls of. 
dahlia carmine. Excellent indoors, as 
it shows up unusually well under ar¬ 
tificial light. A good doer everywhere, 
and should be in every garden. Early. 
32-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
INDIAN LOVE CALL. A very rich new 
iris on the Ukiah type, having leathery 
substance. Color very dark brown. 
Branching ideal. A Dauntless x Mo¬ 
doc seedling that gets its habit from 
the former, its rich darkness from the 
latter. Late. 38-inch. $1.50 
INGENIEUR WINSSINGER A beau¬ 
tiful French creation of russet brown 
bearing some resemblance to El Tovar, 
and also to Le Correge. Rich in color 
and of fine finish. Both standards and 
falls carry out the velvety brown tones 
of the iris, with the falls being slight¬ 
ly the darker. Mid-season. 30-inch. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
IRIS KING. Golden yellow, with velvety 
garnet falls. Short, but very bright — 
being most attractive for borders. Of¬ 
ten blooms in fall in California. Mid¬ 
season. 18-inch. 25c 
IRMA POLLOCK. A luxurious velvety 
carmine, slightly lighter at the mar¬ 
gins. Heavy substance and fine flar¬ 
ing form. Fine garden effect. Mid¬ 
season. 30-inch. 35c 
JACQUELINE GUILLOT. Well formed 
blooms of pure lavender blue with lus¬ 
trous surface. Fragrant, and so free 
blooming that it makes a solid mass 
of. bloom. Well branched stalks. Late 
blooming. 28-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
JASMANIA (Ayres). A huge yellow 
from the East which merits a place 
among the championship yellows. Has 
been highly praised, and selected by 
Edward Salbach as the best Eastern 
yellow he saw in his Coast to Coast 
trip of 1936. The color is deep with 
a touch of lavender blue in the center 
to add to its character. Well branched. 
A. M., A. I. S., 1937. Mid-season. 
40-inch. $17.50 
JEAN AICARD. A French importation, 
produced by M. Denis, which we intro¬ 
duced to America. Clearer, brighter 
color than the old but popular Magni- 
fica. Standards possess a translucent 
quality not found in Magnifica, and 
the falls are broad and stiff — two 
factors that stamp it as definitely a 
big improvement over Magnifica, even 
though the latter is slightly taller. 
Early mid-season. 36-inch. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
JEAN CAYEUX. Beautiful blending of 
Havana or coffee brown, with golden 
glint. Considered one of the finest iris 
ever imported from France, including 
among its many laurels the W. R. 
Dykes medal. Mid-season. 34-inch. 
$ 1.00 
JEB STUART (Washington). A deep 
brownish red, intensified by an orange 
beard. Very rich, and tall and stately. 
Particularly fine in New England, 
where it performs ideally, standing out 
as a real highlight even in gardens 
containing the newest varieties. A. M., 
A. I. S., 1935. Late. 38-inch. $3.50 
J. J. DEAN. Large, tall, and well 
branched, this iris is both attractive 
and showy. The standards are light 
violet, the falls deeper velvety blue. 
Delightfully fragrant. A real “buy” at 
the price. Mid-season. 32-inch. 
20c; 3 for 40c 
JOYCETTE. Big and bold, this majestic 
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. $1.50 
JUMBO. A very showy iris, having im¬ 
mense blooms and deep rich blue violet 
coloring, shading to red violet in the 
falls. Orange beard. Free flowering 
and sturdy. Mid-season. 30-inch. 
15c; 3 for 35c

garden. Ideal form, and remains in 
bloom for a long period of time. A. M., 
A. I. S., 1937. 38-inch. $5.00

a stem. A giant iris, 48 inches tall. 
H. M., A. I. S., 1936. $2.00 
“If We List It, It’s Good” 
In addition to offering the finest stock, 
we list only the very best varieties ob¬ 
tainable. We receive yearly reports from 
many iris experts, and buy those most 
highly recommended. These we grow in 
our garden until we have blooms for com¬ 
parison to our other iris. Only those 
that are distinct and come up to our 
standard are offered in our catalog. The 
others are discarded. 
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, be¬ 
ing a parent to Natoma, Sunol, Berk¬ 
eley 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. 25c; 3 for 60c 
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. 25c; 3 for 60c 
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. $3.50 
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. 25c; 3 for 50c 
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-seas¬ 
on. 40-inch. 50c
