JERRY (Lapham 1933) M. 38 in. A pure 
ruby red iris that adds charm to any 
planting. The flowers are of medium 
size, perfectly groomed and jauntily car¬ 
ried on well branched stalks. The gar¬ 
den effect is a rich glowing red, most 
lovely among light yellows. It is hardy 
and a profuse bloomer, increasing rapidly. 
Per. R. 86, 1937. 50c 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass 1932) M. 42 in. An 
iris that seems to increase in popularity 
every year. It is a deep, intense crimson 
purple, almost a self, a most pleasing 
garden subject in every way. Most irises 
are rated a little lower each year as 
new ones come out in competition but 
Joycette rose from 88 in 1933 to its per¬ 
manent rating of 90 in 1937. It takes a 
good iris to make a record like this. It is 
tall and well branched, strong, hardy 
and dependable in bloom. H. M. 1932. 
A. M. 1936. Per. R. 90, 1937. 
$1.00, 3 for $2.50 
JUBILESTA (Grinter 1937) M. 38 in. A 
most ethereal and lovely iris of pure light 
lemon yellow. It is a perfect self—styles, 
haft, beard and all of the same clear 
tone. It is not big and bold as are so 
many of the new yellows, so it is at first 
unnoticed by some visitors. But it has 
an exquisite charm when studied closely, 
and is most graceful and picturesque 
when used as a cut flower. Its texture is 
like silk but it neither fades nor wilts in 
the sun. It is perfectly hardy here, free 
blooming and prolific. $7.50 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) M. 40 in. 
A really gorgeous combination of gold, 
copper and deep red, a man’s iris. The 
standards are copper suffused with rose 
and threaded with gold, the falls are of 
rich and sumptuous red velvet. The large 
blooms are carried gracefully on tall, 
widely branched stalks and last well 
throughout the season. H. M. 1936. A.

KALINGA (Klein. 1934) M. L. 44 in. A 
beautiful cream colored iris of great re¬ 
finement. The large well rounded flowers 
are carried with perfect poise, a most 
appealing flower. It seems quite hardy 
here although not as free blooming as 
we might wish. H. M. 1936. Per. R. 88, 
1937. $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
KHORASAN (H. P. Sass 1937) M. 36 in. 
A large variegata of Dominion form and 
heritage. The firm, well domed stan¬ 
dards are dull gold and the widely flaring 
falls are nearly auburn in color. It is a 
distinct and unusual iris, with individual 
form and good branching. The plants 
are strong and bloom freely. R. 87, 1938.

gracefully carried. The plant growth is 
good and the bloom abundant. R. 86, 
1938. $7.50 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres 1932) M. 40 in. A 
most delectable blend of creamy coffee 
and rosy lavender tones, very appealing 
to those who like soft, subtle effects. The 
blooms are large and symmetrical, the 
branching good and the plant habits excel¬ 
lent. H. M. 1933. R. 86, 1937.

44 in. A tall and stately beauty is the

a perfectly dependable bloomer here for 
several years. H. M. 1932. A. M. 1936.

LA FERIA (Williams 1937) M. 36 in. A 
captivating blend of most unique coloring

and refreshing tones are restful and ap¬ 
pealing. The sturdy plants produce large, 
gracefully formed flowers of good sub¬ 
stance on tall, well branched stalks. R. 
85, 1938. $4.00 
LI LAM AN I (J. Sass 1938) M. 38 in. A 
new dark beauty that will create a sen¬ 
sation when it becomes better known. 
It is a rich, velvety, violet self with a 
black lustre. The flowers 5 are large and 
full with excellent substance; the stalks 
are tall and widely branched. The plant 
growth is exceptionally good and the

deep, rich yellow iris—brilliant in tone

creases rapidly. $3.00 
From Delaware—It is really a pleasure to deal with you, and I cannot tell you 
how much I appreciate the iris. I am looking forward to next spring to see my new 
plants bloom. Will you keep me in mind and if you find anything next year that you 
feel is outstanding, let me know? Member A. I. S.
