WILD ROSE IRIS GARDEN 
WHITE CREPE, (Gers.; Ashley, 1934). Pure snow white, slight reticulations on 
haft, medium large, fine form and substance; free in bloom; 9 to 12 buds. 
Fine weather resistance, long season. 1.00 
WHITE FROST, (Callis, 1934). The only way one can describe this beautiful white 
frosty looking iris is to get up one frosty morning and look all around and see 
the ground all covered with frost. The falls have a few dark purple markings 
at the haft. It has a yellow beard. Violet and brown markings at haft of 
standard. They’re a profuse bloomer. Fragrant; thirty inches. 1.00 
WHITE GODDESS, (Nesmith, 1936). Very large, well domed standards of pure 
white, the falls are extremely arched and flaring and are also pure white, 
yellow beard and white style branches. The large flowers are glistening 
white and are borne on tall sturdy stalks. 10.00 
WHITE KNIGHT, (Saunders, 1916). Snow white of waxy texture.10 
WHITE QUEEN, (Geylenkek, 1918). Small white flower; 30 inches. (Bearded) .10 
WHITE SISTER, (Gers.; Ashley, 1935). The smallest of this white trio and the 
earliest, and if possible the most free in bloom. The three form a grand 
trio of dainty white Iris. A vast improvement over White Queen. Does not 
sunburn; compact growth. Ten buds. 1.00 
WHITE STAR, (Nichols, 1928). Pure white without any markings.25 
WILD ROSE, (Sturtevant, 1921). Dainty pale wild rose pink with white beards .25 
WILLIAM AS BURY, (Callis, 1939). A very tall gracious new pink. Entirely self. 
A deeper pink than Dogrose or Pink Opal. Grows well and is an all-round 
Iris. No garden should be without this outstanding, lone-blooming self pink 
Iris. A colorful, velvety pink. Good size, well branched and of unusual sub¬ 
stance. Come into bloom just as the intermediates are fading, bridging a gap 
before the fine late bearded Iris. Most attractive. Definitely worthwhile. 
A prolific bloomer with many flowers to each stem. 40 inches. Fragrance 
as Caprice . 10.00 
WILLIAM MOHR, (Mohr, 1925). Ground color is pale lilac; S. flushed darker.25 
WINE GLORY, (Weed). Color combination is of red and purple, violet and some 
other shades. The color of the flower is difficult to describe as it is neither 
brilliant red nor purple. 1.00 
WINNESHIEK, (Egel., 1931). Large blooms and one of the best deep blue blacks 
we have seen.50 
WINTER MOON, (Thole). A large cream white of fine form with green blue 
shadows; haft flushed and reticulated green gold; orange chrome beard. 1.00 
WITCHING HOUR, (Washington, 1938). The arched and domed standards are 
buff yellow with faint flesh pink tinge. The falls are of the same tone and 
are dusted with burnished gold well down from the throat, giving the effect 
of powdered gold. Seven branched stalks and also the branches are branch¬ 
ed. A luscious yellow flower of firm substance, and the most remarkable 
and fine branching that I have ever seen in an Iris. Very late blooming. 41 
inches . 15.00 
WONDER CHILD, (Weed, 1933). S. red-violet; F. blue violet, suffused red, edges 
lighter. Light gold beard. Brown and white markings at base. Six or more 
blossoms to a 40-inch well-branched stalk. 1.00

extends into the throat. 1.00
