COPPER LUSTRE 
EASTER MORN 
JUNALUSKA 
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- 
inch. 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. 35c; 3 for 75c 
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 brahches. 
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). See color picture 
facing pg. 25. 
Unquestionably bound for real popu¬ 
larity, due to its entrancing contrast 
of colors. Decidedly distinct, very 
showy, and the color combination is 
exquisite. Large, well branched, and 
with standards well domed. Falls flar¬ 
ing and substance heavy. Ranks with 
Radiant, Neon, Brunhilde, and Dark 
Knight as one of the finest Carl Sal¬ 
bach iris creations. Described by one 
of the A. I. S. judges as “A real stand¬ 
out — as beacon-like in the garden as 
its name would indicate.” Of. unques¬ 
tioned hardiness, being bred from 
Helios X Rameses, and having grown 
well everywhere. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 
Late blooming. 36-inch. $7.50 
LORD LAMBOURNE. A x’osy bronze bi¬ 
color which makes a fine clump in the 
garden. Gives a profusion of flowers. 
Early. 34-inch. 15c; 3 for 35c 
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. 25c; 3 for 60c 
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. 
25c; 3 for 60c 
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 
MABEL TAFT. Bi-color blue. One of 
the largest of all iris. Mid-season. 
48-inch. 40c 
Carl Salbach'.. 
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 
MARQUITA (Cayeux). One of the finest 
French iris ever produced — a remark¬ 
able variety which should eventually 
find its way into the gardens of. all 
iris lovers. Described by one of the 
A. I. S. judges as: “One of the most 
unique of all . . . America should give 
it its highest award.” 
Overlooked in the awarding of the 
French Dykes Medal because it was so 
late of bloom that most of the judges 
missed it. Perhaps the largest of all 
variegatas, but so distinctly different 
in coloring from the average variegata 
that it hardly seems to belong under 
the same classification. Simply huge 
blooms, standards of clear creamy yel¬ 
low, frostily lustrous, and with falls 
of cream, but so heavily lined rose 
pink that it seems more like a suffusion 
than a lining at the end of the 
petals. Late. 42-inch. A. M., A. I. 
S., 1936. $1.50 
MARY GEDDES (Washington). Con¬ 
sidered by many to be the most fas¬ 
cinating of all the soft blends because 
of its unusual coloring—a blending of 
lovely soft tones that approaches sal¬ 
mon pink. A Dykes Medal winner. 
Best described as a lighter, taller 
King Midas. Standards light bronze 
with just a suggestion of flesh color. 
Falls coral rose with yellow haft, lined 
bronze. Medium in size, but neverthe¬ 
less a most appealing variety. Stock 
limited. Mid-season. 30-inch. $1.00 
MARVELOUS (Kirkland). A bright, 
unusual yellow blend. Vivid yellow, 
heavily lined brown at the top of the 
falls. Mid-season. 36-inch. $10.00 
A Real Garden 
“My garden is only a small one,” a 
customer told me, “but I spend about 
$20.00 a year for water and fertilizer. 
If I buy cheap seeds, plants and bulbs, 
I can have a lot of pretty flowers—but if 
I spend about $5.00 more for good stock, 
like yours, I can have a real garden— 
something outstanding that I can be 
proud of, and which I will enjoy to the 
utmost.” Certainly a most logical con¬ 
clusion, particularly when one considers 
that in addition to the actual cost of 
growing, one invests a good many houx's 
of toil and thought in the planning, pi’ep- 
aration and care of a garden. We offer 
you the greatest possible value for your 
gai’den dollars, because we discontinue 
any item that is relegated to second place 
in its line—and because we never sacri¬ 
fice quality for cheapness sake in any 
other manner.
