ITASCA (Kleinsorge 1934) ML. 34". 
Rich amethyst-purple of fine form and carriage. $2.50 
JANET BUTLER (McKee 1938) M. 37". 
With a delightful swirling of two colors this blended 
\'ariegata is interesting. Yellowish bronzed standards edged 
lavender with contrasting flaring falls of yellow richly over¬ 
laid copper and red. A new creation from the East which 
is well liked. $15.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres 1936) M. 38". 
For perfection of form, this copious, full petaled flower 
rates first among the yellows. The color is a rich tone of 
banana yellow with a brilliant orange beard. The color is 
enhanced by a shadow of pale buff near the heart of the 
flower. Tall and distinguished in carriage. One of the finest 
yellows; in all ways excellent. $10.00 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux 1931) L. 34". 
An outstanding iris in the copper section — the Dykes 
Medal winner in France in 1931. This full-petaled flower 
with its slight suggestion of a frill, has a pleasing grace and 
opulence of form. Its novel tones of light havana brown 
with a lustre of golden biscuit-tan show up at their richest 
in the slanting rays of the early morning sun.

JEB STUART (Washington 1932) ML. 36" 
A very well-groomed flower of fine military bearing; in 
color an intense velvety red-brown entirely without vena¬ 
tion and with a rich orange beard. A very high class iris. 
$ 1.00 
JELLOWAY (Parker 1936) ML. 42". 
One of the deeper toned of the newer yellows. An iris 
of good size and substance, lovely oval form, and excellent 
branching. A great garden iris because of its fine stem, 
clear color, and ability to stand heat. $6.50 
JOYCETTE (J. Sass 1932) M. 36". 
A truly great red. Its nicely branched stems often carry 
two or three open blooms at the same time. Joycette is 
one of the largest in its color section and of a deep, glowing 
crimson color, being practically a self. We consider its 
elean-cut styling unsurpassed by any of the reds. A dis- 
tinet improvement over Dauntless or Indian Chief. (Pictured 
on page 22.) 75c 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) EM. 36". 
Essentially a red iris, but, unlike other reds, blended by 
an infusion of gold and copper about the throat. A splendid 
regal sort that wins a great deal of admiration. $2.00 
KALINGA (Kleinsorge 1934) M. 36". 
Subdued eream (sometimes almost white) with generous 
flaring form, and ideal height and branching. A truly out¬ 
standing iris that should be in every garden. $1.00 
KHORASAN (H. Sass 1937) M. 30". 
A uniquely styled iris, possessing falls with horizontal 
flaring. Standards dull gold, domed; falls auburn, flushed 
violet. $2.00 
KING JUBA (H. Sass 1931) M. 36". 
A variegata several times as large as any in existence a 
few years ago is rich burnished-yellow and velvety garnet- 
red King Juba. A prolific bloomer. Unquestionably one of 
the best in its color group. 25c; 3 for 50c 
KING MIDAS (Mead 1928) E. 32". 
Bright gold glows from the heart of this warm golden- 
brown blend A very distinctive iris of rounded clean-cut 
form; especially effective in the garden clump where it is 
always a glowing mass of color. Do not overlook this in¬ 
teresting iris. 25c; 3 for 50c 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres 1932) ML. 38". 
A giant iris of a pale silvery grey color, beautifully iri¬ 
descent. A variety of little landscape value but a gem for 
the connoisseur’s collection. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White 1934) EM. 38". 
A noble, exquisitely poised, large primrose yellow. Ex¬ 
cellent form with full, broad standards and broad, semi- 
flaring falls. The silken texture gives this flower a soft, 
translucent glimmer. Tall stems, gracefully branched. A 
very fine light yellow. $1.25 
LEGEND (Wareham 1932) M. 36". 
A vast improvement over the old iris Cardinal A giant 
gold-bearded purple with perfect candelabrum branching. 
30c; 3 for 55c 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936) L. 34". 
A most unusual coalition of colors, a clear old rose to 
rose-red light bicolor with a bit of coppery suggestion. A 
torch-like center of yellow sends slithering streams of gold 
from the heart of the flower. Large, well rounded flowers, 
good substance and smoothly textured. $5.00 
LI LAM AN I (J. Sass 1938) M, 38". 
Striking new blue-black, dusky yet richly glowing. The 
blooms are large with broad, thick velvety falls. Sturdy 
stalks, very tall. A free growing, imposing development in 
our violets $7.50 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) M. 38". 
Snowy white throughout save for a slight stitching of 
cerulean at the haft and at the base of the standards and 
a beard of soft yellow-gold, Los Angeles is an exquisitely 
sculptured beauty with the finest satin sheen — tall, vig¬ 
orous, well-branched — a classic iris that is a cornerstone 
of any collection worthy of the name. 25c; 3 for 50c ^ 
LOU VO IS (Cayeux 1936) M. 35". 
Incredibly, amazingly rich and lustrous! This iris, until 
last season unblossomed by us, attracted the attention of 
everyone who saw it. It can be called, without contradiction 
or comparison, the brown iris. A wealth of rich maroon 
brown enfolds the flower with standards of light chocolate 
brown and falls a very rich, glossy red-maroon with a choco¬ 
late border along the edge of the petal; nice gold beard. 
The color is very rich and the flower is pure, remarkably 
free from veins. From a distance it looks like two tones 
of chocolate, a harmony of brown. Without question, a 
distinct find. Richly endowed with the qualities ensuring 
lasting distinction and charm. (Pictured on page 5.) 
$12.50 
LUCREZIA BORI (Schreiner 1935) VL. 40". 
A giant, late-blooming deep yellow. The fine domed 
standards, delightfully ruffled and fluted, are a particular 
feature of this iris. The long falls, deeper in color than the 
standards, have an olive reflex toward the beard which 
pales soon after the flower opens (excepting in wet weather). 
The bloom is of good substance and the bright beard adds 
to its attractiveness. Exceptionally tall and finely branched. 
$3.50 
MAID OF ASTALOT (J. Sass 1936) M. 38". 
.A new domed plicata of alabaster whiteness with blue 
stitching along the haft only. The perfect domed effect 
surpasses anything else we have seen in iris, conveying a 
feeling of exquisite poise. A serenely beautiful variety.
