OLD IRONSIDES (Milliken) 
An iris to use where a brilliant clump of color is desired. A com¬ 
bination of copper and gold and carmine flowers carried on tall, 
strong stalks. This variety is very generous with its flamboyant blooms 
so will never disappoint those who plant it for a certain garden 
picture. 
Writes a New England grower: "A splendid increases I moved 
and divided it last year and this year had plenty of bloom. A showy 
flower with an orange beard, yellow stigmas, having a wide violet 
midrib. 40 inches tall.’’ $1.50 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge) 
From Oregon comes this William Mohr seedling that stands 
almost 40 inches tall, with giant flowers of a uniform grey-lavender 
veined violet. A faint rosy glow envelops the entire flower and 
unlike its well known parent, William Mohr, it has a tall stem that 
branches near the top and is evidently perfectly hardy and easy to 
grow. Of great value to breeders as it produces seed readily. $20.00 
OVER HERE (C. G. White) 
The standards of this unique iris are light Prussian red flushed with 
glowing violet, giving a beautiful antique bronze effect. The falls 
are blackish red-purple flushed in the center with pansy violet and 
quite heavily veined with deep brown. The haft is veined white 
and the beard is soft yellow. Flowers quite large and flaring on 
36-inch stems. Exact parentage is lost, but “Over Here" is one- 
fourth oncocyclus. $1.50 
OYEZ (C. G. White) 
Sold out for 1939. 
PACIFIC (Essig) 
Try planting this iris near some of your pinks. It is a large flower 
of a beautiful shade of clear blue that is particularly desirable in the 
garden. Early blooming and of proven hardiness. We recommend it 
highly. 3 feet. 25c,- 3 for 50c 
PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig) 
One of the most sensational irises in our garden. Large stately 
flowers of pale blue, uniform throughout, carried on tall sturdy stems. 
The standards are four inches high, the falls slightly flaring and four 
inches long, and the beard a bright orange. We have seen single 
stems with as many as six of these enormous blooms open at one 
time. We cannot praise this iris too highly. 4 feet. 
"The plant of Pale Moonlight you sent me was the biggest one 
I ever saw and threw four tremendous bloom stalks, which made it 
the outstanding thing in the garden." (Virginia.) 
See illustration page 12. 50c,- 3 for $1.00 
FERSIA (Ayres) 
We have seen this iris blooming in nearly every section of the 
country, and each time it impresses us anew with its exquisite charm 
and refinement. There is something particularly appealing about this 
lovely blend of smoky blue, grey and bronze that grows upon one 
with each renewed acquaintance. Large handsome flowers.

PETRUCHIO (Morrison) 
This strikes a brilliant note with its rich violet and carmine coloring. 
In our garden it has been consistent in producing a quantity of bloom 
in December and January. 3 feet. 25c; 3 for 50c 
PEWEE (Williamson) 
Another of the new group of "table irises," and a perfect gem 
of a tiny pure white flower on graceful well-branched stems 17 
inches high 25c,- 3 for 50c 
PINK OPAL (Sass) 
A sister seedling of Pink Satin with larger flowers of better shape 
on somewhat taller stems. The color is more of a lilac pink and the 
blooms are held close to the stem, giving a very good mass effect. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
PINK SATIN (Sass, J.) 
Perhaps the nearest to a true pink of any iris. An even tone with 
a smooth glistening finish. Pink Satin has the valuable characteristic 
of producing a quantity of blooms over a long period. We recom¬ 
mend this iris as one of the finest pinks ever produced. 33^2 feet. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
PIUTE (Thomas) 
Another iris of recent introduction that comes to us with the 
highest recommendations. Although we have not as yet had time 
to flower it, Piute is described as follows: "The nearest approach 
to a real red. It is a pure rich red self with not a trace of blue or 
purple in it. The flower is well shaped with flaring falls of heavy 
texture and smooth finish. Over 3 feet tall." $10.00 
PLUIE D’OR (Cayeux) 
Pure golden yellow flowers on slender graceful stems. Flowers 
are of medium size and are of unusually smooth and even texture. 
A profuse bloomer and a very popular variety. 2 x /i feet. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
PRESIDENT PILKINGTON (Cayeux) 
This is a lovely pastel blend with standards of buff, flushed with 
blue and tinted with rose. The wide flaring falls are lavender-blue 
with buffy yellow suffusion paling at the margins. Beard golden 
yellow. 25c; 3 for 50c 
PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell) 
This is a splendid pure white. It is exceptionally large, vigorous, 
well branched, and of good form and substance. Particularly 
recommended for the milder climates. 4 feet. Early. 35c; 3 for 75c 
RADIANT (Salbach). 
A vivid copper-red that promises to outdo all competitors for 
sheer brilliance. Of medium height and size, this newcomer has 
standards of burnished golden bronze and falls of glowing copper- 
red. Evidently this iris has a decided tendency to bloom in the fall 
but trial has not been over a long enough period to definitely 
establish this fact for all parts of the country. $10.00 
RAMESES (Sass, H. P.) 
A beautiful blend of gold, pink and apricot that is difficult to 
describe. Heavy apricot beard. Vigorous and hardy. 23^ feet. 
See illustration page 13. 25c; 3 for 50c 
RAYO DE SOL (Mohr-Mitchell) 
A medium flowered lemon chrome of good substance. The falls are 
flaring and have a few white lines at the haft. 25c; 3 for 50c 
RED DOMINION (Ayres) 
A stunning rich ox-blood red that has received unqualified praise.

of a fine oriental rug. 3 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
RED FLARE (Milliken) 
Falls ox-blood red, slightly deeper in the middle than at the edges, 
flaring,- standards brownish-red shading to lustrous antique brown.

REDGLOW (Essig) 
The falls of this stately iris are flaring and of a rich red velvet, set 
off by a golden beard. The standards are a somewhat paler shade 
of red harmonizing beautifully with the richness of the falls. It is a 
stunning thing and shows off to particular advantage when planted 
near some of the beautiful new yellows. 3 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
ROSY WINGS (Gage) 
Not yet having bloomed this newcomer to our garden, we can 
quote its description as follows: "Among the two or three top-most 
introductions seen for the first time last year. A blend of rose and 
copper, with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, and 40 inch 
stems. One of the few new colors developed in iris in recent 
years." $4.00 
ROYAL SALUTE (Milliken) 
This is quite distinct in form and color It is one of the few good 
dark blue-purple irises. The petals, both standards and falls, are broad 
and as the flowers are on tall stems the beauty of the falls is easily 
seen. The main points of its excellence are that it has a tall well- 
branched stem so that the flowers are not crowded, and the flowers 
which have good substance seem to be the bluest of any of the 
so-called blue-purple irises. See illustration page 14. 
Writes an Iowa grower: "It is a splendid dark blue-purple iris of 
fine form, texture, height and very splendid branching." 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
SACRAMENTO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
A giant plicata of the San Francisco type but having dots and 
reticulations of reddish brown instead of lavender. The ground 
color is creamy white. Flowers are large and well shaped on tall, 
well-branched stems. 40 inches. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SAN DIEGO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
Immense blooms of deep velvety blue purple. It is a seedling of 
Gaudichau and El Capitan, retaining the color of the former and the 
size and shape of the latter. 46 inches. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SAN FRANCISCO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
Tall stems branching low and wide carry the large flowers of white 
distinctly edqed with lavender blue. A superior variety. 44 inches. 
Slightly tender in regions of severe winters, so we suggest the 
beautiful Los Angeles, which is hardy, instead. Grows perfectly on 
the Pacific Coast and elsewhere where the winters are mild. Mid¬ 
season. 40 inch. 35c; 3 for 75c
