GRACE LAPHAM (Laph. '37) A pink, in tone between the deep 
pink of Dog Rose and Airy Dream, slightly lavender flushed. Has 
round petals of a pleasing perky shape. The white around the haft 
makes a lively spot in the falls, and the orange beard adds vim — 
a vital iris. 38". $2.00 
GRACE MOHR (Jory '35) Descended from William Mohr; but 
larger, taller, deepening into red rather purple. More hardy, the 
perfect flaring falls and broad, rounded standards give this tremen¬ 
dous iris dignity and a refinement necessary to ennoble every gar¬ 
den. 36". $10.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cous. '38) A tall light blue, nearer a true blue 
than Shining Waters. The closed standards and flaring falls 
give the iris an intriguing shape. $7.50 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes '31) It is such a "good 'un" that we all run 
towards this tremendous pure white, dusted with gold at the throat. 
Although the blooms are too large for the 26" stems — who cares? 
the demand shows that people buy what they like. A.M. '36. $1.00 
GUYASUTA (Hall '31) This early dark violet-blue takes your breath 
away, it's so exceptionally rich and velvety. 30". $.75 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitch. '34) A yellow that brings back the good old 
days of the gold standard! These rich golden flowers are huge, on 
tall sturdy stalks. 40". A.M. '37. $1.50 
HOLLYWOOD (Essig '29) A decade old, and still in the limelight 
of pink blends, with yellow and gold tinting her complexion. Large 
and outstanding in heavy substance and lateness of bloom. 38". $.50 
ILION (Cay. '36) A magnificent pUcata, whose standards are more 
blue than white, being covered, except at the midrib, with light 
blue-purple dots, lines and shadings. This same color is carried just 
on the edges of the falls, with darker lines near the haft, growing 
fainter as they advance down the petals. 36". $8.00 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. Sass '32) What would you give for an 
Imperial Blush, especially if it were the palest blush of the fairest 
queen? The iris is a charming shade of blush pink, with long falls 
and ruffled standards. Our favorite for years, 40". H.M. '36. $.50 
INCOGNITO (White '38) Incognito until it blooms; then, no disguise 
can hide this iris of deepest velvety red-purple. A giant of 
towering stature, commanding attention from the entire 
garden. 
$3.50 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant '37) This is a rich purple, a deeper Magenta. 
The large blooms of fine oval form have good substance. The plant 
has grand vigor and will be excellent for massing. 37". $3.00 
INDIGO BUNTING (Ayres '33) lust like the fascinating bird, but 
nowhere near as shy, as it sings its beauty of lovely crisp cool blue 
in its own quiet way, with poise and grace, on strong perches. 
Standards and lower edges of the falls are indigo-blue; the center of 
the fall is flushed with purple. 36". $.60 
JANET BUTLER (McKee '38) Try Janet, as Mr. McKee did, planted 
in a little clump, with a stone or two near by. This is a bright flower 
with loads of charm. The gay yellow standards are slightly bronzed 
with lavender; the semi-flaring falls are yellow with a blending of 
copper and red. Maroon venations accent the wide yellow haft, and 
there is an orange beard. Excellent form, substance, branching and 
vigor. 35". H.M. '37. $10.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres '35) You'll be surprised when you see this 
large yellow iris, tall and well poised, with its artistic outstretched 
falls, very wide at the bronze-tinged haft. Rich banana yellow color¬ 
ing with the faintest touch of lavender in the center of the falls. 
42". A.M. '37. 512.50 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cay. '31) Jean is most attractive in her light brown 
dress, sparkling all over, as if sprinkled with gold dust; most grace¬ 
ful in her pleasing wavy ruffles and the way she carries herself; and 
most satisfying in her rounded, flaring form. $ 1.00 
JEB STUART (Wash. '32) JEB has the richest brown-red uniform 
in the garden. How gorgeous he is, standing there tall and stately, 
with domed standards and flaring falls that are much darker be¬ 
cause they are so velvety. His color is evenly applied and gives him 
a solid appearance, lightened by a deep orange beard. 40". A.M. '35. 
$1.50 
JELLOWAY (Park. '36) U you don't yell-a-way with praise when 
Jelloway comes into bloom, come over and listen to us rave about 
this yellow, so rich and bright, so clear, that most other yellows look 
pale. Large full blooms are well held on tall well-branched stalks. 
42". A.M. '38. $6.50 
JERRY (Laph. '34) A perky, merry, bright rich ruby-red iris, deep¬ 
ened in the Awing falls by a velvety finish. Of excellent proportion 
and shape, Jerry likes to be with Sweet Alibi or Cadmia. 34". 
Late. $.75 
JOLLY ROGER (Nic. '34) It certainly is jolly to have Roger about 
every season, with his blue suit so dark, so rich, so lustrous, that it 
is practically black. And he stands so straight and tall with his Rar¬ 
ing falls. 36". $.75 
JOYANCE (K. Dykes '31) Bring joy once again into your garden 
with Joyance. A huge creamy white with a gold wash half way down 
the lower petals and vrith gold venations on the haft. Almost as Iwge 
and much taller than sister Gudrun, with sturdy growth. 38". $.75 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass '32) A rich toned large red iris of heavy sub¬ 
stance and excellent form. 42". H.M. '32. $1.00 
JUNALUSKA (Kirk. '34) Runner up for the Dykes' Medal in 1938, 
and we recommend this heartily, not only for its outstanding color — 
rose, gold and copper, blended to produce a red — but also for its 
excellent habits; — profuse blooms of superb shape and substance; 
tall strong stalks and fine branching. 42". A.M. '37. $3.50 
KATISHA (Hall '33) Dainty and charming, a tourmaline pink, 
blended with some yellow. The falls have a large white area, with 
a deep orange beard. 34". $.75 
KHORASAN (H. Sass '37) Some of the colors from Persia put 
together into this massive blended variegata. The domed standards 
are dull gold, and the falls are nearly auburn. Rushed violet below 
the beard, and are held almost horizontaUy. 36". $2.00 
KITTANNING (Hall '37) This is most attractive as a garden clump 
with its pale to light mauve standards and velvety dahlia purple 
falls. The large Rowers are of good form and substance, on erect 
stems. 40". $7.00 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres '32) A happy blend of soft buff and light 
blue with a pink underglow. The falls have more blue than the 
standards. 44". H.M. '31. $1.00 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White '33) She's a soft primrose yellow 
of excellent form and very Rne finish, with fuU domed standards 
and broad, semi-Raring skirts — a Lady, indeed — poised in bear¬ 
ing, noble of visage and matchless in beauty! The Rowers of exquisite 
sRky texture, extra large, are carried on tall, finely branched stems. 
Everyone adores Lady Paramount! 44". A.M. '36. $1.50 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salb. '36) That never-failing light at sea; that 
never-failing rosy glow in the garden. The standards are old rose; 
the Raring falls, rose-red, with a great torch of gold lighting up the 
center. The brilliant blooms are the acme of perfection — large, 
round, excellent substance and smooth texture. 36". Late. H.M. '37.
