Copper Lustre (See page 7) 
Fedaltna—36 in. An excellent dark “Plicata" on the order of 
Castor, but larger and better. S—domed, deep, bright red- 
violet heavily peppered over a white ground; F—white, with a 
prominent teather-stitch edging of bright red-violet. Perhaps 
the best dark Plicata... . .35 
Feste—36 in. A soft blend of most attractive tints. S—pinkish- 
lilac, shading to yellow at the throat and along the edges; F— 
a deeper shade with a yellow beard and bronze veining at the 
throat . .50 
Fragonard—36 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. This is one of the most 
delightful deep rose-pink toned Irises I have ever seen. The 
special tone of pink is impossible to describe, but it is very 
lovely and different from all other pinks. Should be in every 
collection . 15 
Franklin B. Mead—50 in. A magnificent new white “Plicata” of 
Los Angeles type, but even more beautiful and of unusual height. 
The flowers are large, of heavy substance, with eight to 9 flowers 
to each stalk. 7.50 
Frieda Mohr—EARLY. FRAGRANT. A deep pink of gigantic size 
and perfect form, the huge flowers being seven inches across. 
A CONSTANT PRIZE-WINNER WHEREVER IT IS EXHIBITED. 
Frieda Mohr has undoubtedly won more First Prizes than any 
other Iris. It has deservedly been the most popular Iris in my 
exhibition gardens for several seasons, as well as our biggest 
seller by mail. Nothing new has appeared that is equal to it 
in its class. Besides huge flowers, perfect form, good color and 
aristocratic bearing, it has a delicious locust fragrance, being one 
of the most fragrant of all Iris. It also has a very long flower¬ 
ing season, flowering with the earliest and continuing to flower 
with the latest of this group. Sold only a few years ago at 
$25.00 for a single plant, it is now within the reach of all. See 
illustration . 20 
Frivolite—36 in. A most attractive and brilliant SHRIMP PINK, 
flushed yellow at the base and dusted with gold dust. By far 
the best of this color. .20 
Frozen Foam—30 in. The name is most appropriate, as it is an 
exquisitely dainty frosty white Iris of long graceful form.20 
Caucho—32 in. A brilliant new “Variegata" of good form and 
large size. S—empire yellow; F—Vandyke red, with a narrow 
margin of empire yellow. 75 
Genevieve Serouge—42 in. EARLY. GIVEN A SPECIAL AWARD 
BY THE IRIS COMMISSION OF THE NATIONAL HORTICUL¬ 
TURAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE, WITH PRES. PILKINCTON AND 
PROF. S. B. MITCHELL, as the three best new Irises of the year. 
A magnificent new Iris of French origin, in an exquisite blending 
of soft pastel shades. S—domed, beautifully frilled, clear soft 
olive-buff; F—soft lilac, blended with flax-blue, bordered the 
color of the standards. Flowers of huge size and superb form. 
A FIVE STAR VARIETY. .75 
Giant Baldwin —42 in. Giant flowers of bright blue. OVERSHAD¬ 
OWS ALL OTHERS IN ITS CLASS. 8 to 16 huge flowers to a 
single stalk . .35 
Tall Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Gift —38 in. I rate this as one of the best of the new introduc¬ 
tions. The domed standards are of an unusual lavender-bronze 
tone, with a metallic sheen; the falls are the richest velvety 
dahlia-carmine, uniform throughout, without any marking or vein¬ 
ing of any kind. The flowers are large and perfectly formed. 1.50 
Gilead— 42 in. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. HONORABLE MEN¬ 
TION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. A very handsome buff blend, 
being the same color as Jean Cayeux, but in a different form 
and taller. This is one of the most underpriced Iris in this book 
for such an exquisite beauty. 25 
Gleam —42 in. AN UNSURPASSED SKY-BLUE, the color being uni¬ 
form throughout. Extra fine, large flowers of perfect form, 
heavy substance, smooth satiny texture and a profuse bloomer. 
Unequalled for a delightful blue garden mass. 15 
Gloriole —42 in. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. HONORABLE MEN¬ 
TION AND AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. Very 
large flowers with semi-flaring falls measuring 7 inches across. 
S—domed, beautifully ruffled, very soft lobelia-violet, so soft as 
to be almost white, but exquisitely dainty; F—same color, with 
an almost imperceptible soft greenish flush at the centre to add 
to its attractiveness. A frosty iridescence covers the entire 
flower . . ... 2.50 
Golden Bow —30 in. VERY EARLY. AWARD OF MERIT AMERI¬ 
CAN IRIS SOCIETY 1938. EASILY THE BEST OF ALL THE VERY 
EARLY FLOWERING DEEP YELLOWS, outclassing all others in 
this group and being the same color and almost as fine as Cali¬ 
fornia Cold, the later blooming deep yellow. A large flower, of 
fine form, delighfful rich, smooth color and very free flower¬ 
ing . 35 
Golden Flare —30 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS 
SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. A new English introduction of great 
merit, in a very unusual and attractive blending of colors, being 
a medley of gold, rose, flame and yellow, somewhat like the 
famous “Talisman” rose, but with a faint electric blue flush down 
the falls that further adds to its attractiveness. No other Iris 
like it and not many as handsome. 25 
Golden Helmet —36 in. A striking new brilliant “Variegata” that 
stands out prominently in any planting. S—erect, beautifully 
frilled, bronzy-yellow; F—Morocco red with a brilliant orange 
beard . 2.00 
Golden Hind— 38 in. AWARDED THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL IN ENGLAND IN 1935, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL 
HONORS, AS THE BEST IRIS OF THE YEAR: ALSO A SILVER 
MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. A real gold 
nugget of a dazzling buttercup yellow, without a blemish, the 
flower being enriched by a vivid orange beard. The best and 
deepest and purest yellow to date, of perfect form and heavy 
substance, the flaring falls measuring 7 inches across. 5.00
