Maple Valley Iris Gardens 
GOLDEN LIGHT (H. P. Sass 1933) M. 
36-40 in. This is not a new iris as irises 
go, but the many compliments paid to it 
in recent varietal notes, show its undi¬ 
minished popularity. It is gay and lively 
—of warm gold, enriched by touches of 
coppery red at the edges of the crisply 
frilled petals. It is most effective planted 
in a clump by itself where it gleams like 
lighted candles. It grows easily, blooms 
profusely and increases rapidly. H. M. 
1936. Per. R. 88, 1936. As .a garden sub¬ 
ject it would rate still higher. $1.00 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) 
M. 40 in. This is one of the loveliest 
irises in the garden, and an easy prize 
winner on the show bench. It is tall and 
stately, a creamy yellow self with a clear 
golden yellow heart. The large blooms 
are so well placed on the widely branched 
stalk that they never crowd even when 
four or five open at once. One of the 
best examples of four-way branching. 
The plant is strong and hardy, prolific 
and free flowering. H. M. 1936. A. M. 
1938. Per. R. 90, 1937. $7.50 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) E. M. 36 in. 
An English iris that has become very 
popular in America. Its huge blcoms are 
of pure gleaming white enlivened by a 
vivid gold beard. Because of its size 
and full rounded form it makes a most 
impressive show flower. It grows well 
and blooms freely here. Dykes Medal, 
England, 1932. A. M. 1936. Per. R. 88, 
1937. 75c 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934) E. M. 40 
in. This iris stands out as one of the 
largest and finest of the light yellows. 
The immense flowers are of clear Pinard 
yellow and are carried on tall, well 
branched stalks. We find it quite relia¬ 
ble here, it grows strongly, blooms freely 
and increases well. H. M. 1935. A. M. 
1937. Per. R. 92, 1936. $2.00 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. P. Sass 1933) M. 
L. 40 in. Still one of the very best orchid 
pink irises. A perfect self of pure, clear 
coloring, the large ruffled flowers are 
borne profusely on tall stalks. The 
branching is a bit high which makes it 
ideal for the back of a group planting. 
Try it with clear yellows and light blues. 
Strong hardy plants with good growing 
and blooming habits. H. M. 1936. Per. 
R. 87, 1937. 50c, 3 for $1.00 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant 1937) M. E. 36 in. 
A rich wine purple iris—a pure self of 
wonderful garden value. The blooms are 
large, of good substance and fine oval 
form. It grows, blooms and increases 
well. Very effective with clear pure 
white irises. R. 88, 1938. 
$3.00, 2 for $5.00 
IRIS CITY (Williams 1938) M. 38 in. This 
is an intense, glowing royal purple self 
of pure even coloring throughout. The 
large satiny textured blooms are well 
carried on tail widely branched stalks. 
A most outstanding new iris of unques¬ 
tioned hardiness and excellent growth. 
Not yet rated. $10.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres 1935) M. 40 in. A 
very distinguished beauty among the yel¬ 
lows, much adraked by everyone. it 
makes a beautiful garden clump, the large 
well rounded flowers giving the effect of 
clear, soft medium yellow. On close 
inspection we find a touch of light blue 
at the tip of the beard which gives it 
individuality and charm. Perfectly hardy 
and free blooming. H. M. 1936. A. M. 
1937. Per. R. 91, 1937. $9.00 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cay. 1931) L. 36 in. One 
of the most attractive and popular flow¬ 
ers in the garden is ‘Jean’. Very French 
too in her cafe au lait coloring of creamy 
coffee tones. A faint blue blaze of biue 
on each fall gives further appeal. The 
lovely, lustrous flowers are of medium 
size but perfect rounded form, well placed 
on a nicely branched stalk. The plants 
are strong and vigorous, blooming and 
increasing abundantly. Dykes Medal, 
Fiance, 1931. A. M. 1936. Per. R. 89, 
1937. 75c 
JEB STUART (Wash. 1932) M. L. 40 in. 
A velvety red brown iris of intense col¬ 
oring and excellent grooming. The broad 
falls are smooth and almost unveined at 
the haft, the stalk well branched. The 
plants are vigorous and free flowering. 
II. M. 1933. A. M. 1935. Per. R. 88, 
1936. $1.50 
JELLOWAY (Parker 1936) M. L. 42 in. 
A deep pure yellow of nice oval form and 
good branching. The color is pure lemon 
cnrome with no white at the center. It 
seems hardy and bloomed well here on 
a first year plant. H. M. 1937. Per. R. 89, 
1939. $5.00 
From Texas—All your Irises bloomed very well for us here this year. We believe 
that roots matured in your locality are especially well adapted to the climate of the 
south west. Am sending another quite large order. We appreciate the excellent 
quality of your stock. The fall bloomers you sent last year in October bloomed for 
us in January. Member A. I. S.
