Finest Iris 
SNOW MAIDEN: Pure white, and so free blooming that it covers the ground 
like a drift of snow. 
HIDALGO. A very large lavender blue 
of unusually broad shape. The stalks 
carry so many blooms open at one time 
that it is comparable to a spike of 
gladiolus. Particularly fine for fioral 
decorations, as under electric light it 
becomes pink as Frieda Mohr. De¬ 
lightfully fragrant. Mid-season to late. 
48-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
HOOGIANA — See page 26. 
INDIAN CHIEF. Without a peer among 
the medium tall red-bronzes, and 
blooms earlier than most when good 
“red” iris are scarce. Bronzy violet 
standards with falls of dahlia carmine. 
Excellent indoors, as it shows up un¬ 
usually well under artificial light. A 
good doer everywhere, and should be 
in every garden. Early. 32-inch. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
INDIAN LOVE CALL (Salbach 1938). 
A very rich new iris of the Ukiah 
type, having leathery substance. Color 
very dark brown. Branching ideal. A 
Dauntless x Modoc seedling that gets 
its habit from the former, its rich 
darkness from the latter. Late. 
38-inch. $1.00 
INGENIEUR WINSSINGER. A beau¬ 
tiful French creation of deep bronze. 
Rich in color and of fine finish. Both 
standards and falls carry out the vel¬ 
vety brown tones of the iris, with the 
falls being slightly the darker. Mid¬ 
season. 30-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
IRMA POLLOCK. A luxurious velvety 
carmine, slightly lighter at the mar¬ 
gins. Heavy substance and fine flar¬ 
ing form. Fine garden effect. Mid¬ 
season. 30-inch. 25c; 3 for 60c 
JACQUELINE GUILLOT. Well formed 
blooms of pure lavender blue with lus¬ 
trous surface. Fragrant, and so free 
blooming that it makes a solid mass 
of bloom. Well branched stalks. Late 
blooming. 28-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
JASMANIA (Ayres). A huge yellow 
from the East which merits a place 
among the championship yellows. Has 
been highly praised, and selected by 
Edward Salbach as the best Eastern 
yellow he saw in his Coast to Coast 
trip of 1936. The color is soft and 
luminous. Well branched. A. M., A. 
I. S., 1937. Mid-season. 40-inch. $10.00 
JEAN AICARD. A French importation, 
produced by M. Denis, which we in¬ 
troduced to America. Clearer, brighter 
color than the old but popular Magni- 
fica. Standards possess a translucent 
quality not found in Magnifica, and 
the falls are broad and stiff — two 
factors that stamp it as definitely a 
big improvement over Magnifica, even 
though the latter is slightly taller. 
Early mid-season. 36-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
JEAN CAYEUX. Beautiful blending of 
Havana or coffee brown, with golden 
glint. Very rich, and still unsurpassed 
in its class. Considered one of the 
finest iris ever imported from France, 
including among its many laurels the 
W. R. Dykes medal. Mid-season. 34- 
inch. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
JEB STUART (Washington). A deep 
brownish red, intensified by an orange 
beard. Very rich, and tall and stately. 
Particularly fine in New England, 
where it performs ideally, standing out 
as a real highlight even in gardens 
containing the newest varieties. A. M., 
A. I. S., 1935. Late. 38-inch. $1.50 
J. J. DEAN. Large, tall, and well 
branched, this iris is both attractive 
and showy. The standards are light 
violet, the falls deeper velvety blue. 
Delip-htfully fragrant. A real “buy” at 
the price. Mid-season. 32-inch. 
20c; 3 for 40c 
JOYCETTE. Big and bold, this majestic 
iris is very fine. Its plum red color¬ 
ing carries well in the garden, and its 
height adds to its showiness. Large, 
well formed flowers on 42-inch stems. 
Heavy substance, and blooms over a 
long period. Mid-season. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland). Best described 
as a “blended red.” Standards yellow, 
suffused bronze, with falls velvety ma¬ 
roon. Yellow beard. A striking iris, 
very effective in the garden. Ideal 
form, and remains in bloom for a long 
period of time. Runner-up for the 
1938 Dykes Medal, and in our opinion, 
it is a more deserving iris than the 
winning variet’?’ — we feel that Juna- 
luska is easily the best of many fine 
Kirkland nroductions, and rank it as 
one of the very finest iris grown. 
38-inch. $3.50

H. M., A. 1. S., 1936. $1.00 
KING MIDAS. We thorono-i^’”^ recom¬ 
mend this iris as one which belongs in 
every garden, large or small. The 
standards are golden buff, the falls iri¬ 
descent garnet brown, lighted by gold¬ 
en orange beard and golden haft, from 
which the name was chosen. A flower 
of fine finish and heavy substance. 
A low-growing variety, but so rich¬ 
ly colored that it ranks among the very 
best, as is shown by the fact that it 
first sold at $50 per single rhizome. 
One of the very finest for breeding, be¬ 
ing a parent to Natoma, Sunol, Berk¬ 
eley Copper, and Berkeley Nugget. 
Early mid - season. 24-inch. Stock 
limited. 35c; 3 for 75c 
KING TUT. One of the very brightest 
of the “red” iris on the market, pro¬ 
ducing this effect by its golden stand¬ 
ards and beard, and its bright 'Hessian 
brown falls. Valuable to breeders be¬ 
cause of its bright coloring. Mid¬ 
season. 25-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
LADY LILFORD. Part oncocyclus, the 
same type of hybrid as William Mohr. 
Heavily veined. Sometimes produces 
blooms with 4 standards and 4 falls. 
A distinct flower of lavender purple. 
Mid-season. 18-inch. 25c; 3 for 60c 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White). An im¬ 
mense light yellow, nearly as large as 
Happy Days. Bred from W. R. Dykes, 
which is also one of the parents of the 
sensational Happy Days. 
Plants large and tall, well branched, 
with many blooms to a stalk. A. M., 
A. I. S., 1936. Mid-season. 40-inch. 
$ 2.00 
LEGEND. Similar to Cardinal, but im¬ 
proved in ever'''^ way — being taller, 
laro'er, better branched, and carrying 
many more very large, perfect blooms 
to the stalk. Very rich velvety crim¬ 
son claret, with standards beautifully 
veined violet-blue. Its brilliant yellow 
beard is one of the most striking known 
to any iris, setting off the magnificent 
blooms in a fascinating manner. Late 
mid-season. 40-inch. 40c 
LEONATO. Pale lavender to silvery 
heliotrope. Shapely and well propor¬ 
tioned. Early flowering. Very frag¬ 
rant. 40-inch. 15c; 3 for 35c
