NARANJA (Mitchell) 
The first of the new large yellows with a definite orange tone. A 
truly striking new introduction that "gleams like a topaz in the 
sun." Described as follows: "Richest of all the yellows, thanks to 
the definite orange cast on the falls. Distinctly orange while in bud, 
and so striking in color that it brought the first offer before the first 
bud had started to unfurl. Stands tall and straight, with huge blooms, 
having excellent substance." 
Naranja is a strong and rapid grower and our excellent stock 
allows us to list this new variety at a very reasonable price. 
$1.00,- 3 for $2.50 
NATIVIDAD (Mitchell) 
One of the most refined irises we have ever seen. A warm cream 
self lighted in the center with a glow of soft yellow and sprinkled 
as with tiny beads of glistening dew. Natividad possesses all the 
grace and distinction that its name implies. 3 feet. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
NEAR EAST (C. G. White) 
A fascinating addition to the unusual group of irises which we 
introduced for Mr. White last year. Near East is one of the so- 
called "wide crosses," being a pogocyclus hybrid. It therefore 
possesses the exotic beauty of the oncocyclus and at the same time 
the easy growing qualities of the hardy tall bearded iris. 
The ground color of Near East is a soft creamy yellow and both 
standards and falls are veined and dotted with deep maroon- 
purple. The falls are quite stiff and horizontal and are prominently 
veined, while the standards are rather faintly marked, thus giving them 
a yellow effect. 
Near East grows to a height of about two feet, has medium-sized 
flowers, and foliagz that is more slender and less conspicuous than 
the average bearded iris. Hardy. $3.50 
NEON (Sal'oach) 
A tall variegata with bright, well formed standards and red- 
purple falls. It received considerable praise from eastern iris en¬ 
thusiasts last year. 3)4 feet. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
NEW ALEION (Essig) 
A sister seedling of Easter Morn, but quite distinct in form, color 
and substance, and also producing quite a different garden effect. 
The flowers are pure waxy-white with fine clean cut standards and 
nicely-formed flaring falls. 2)4 feet. 25c,- 3 for 50c 
OLD IRONSIDES (Milliken) 
An iris to use where a brilliant clump of color is desired. A com¬ 
bination of copper and gold and carmine flowers carried on tall, 
strong stalks. This variety is very generous with its flamboyant blooms 
so will never disappoint those who plant it for a certain garden 
picture. 
Writes a New England grower: "A splendid increaser. I moved 
and divided it last year and this year had plenty of bloom. ’ A showy 
flower with an orange beard, yellow stigmas, having a wide violet 
midrib. 40 inches tall. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ORLOFF (H. Sass) 
A pleasing new plicata of unusual coloring, having medium-size 
flowers on 2)4 to 3 foot stems. The color is described as "brownish- 
red, finely stippled on a creamish blackground, like cinnamon in 
eggnog." The standards are more heavily spotted than the falls. An 
intimate iris delightful as a cut flower. $7.50 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge) 
From Oregon comes this William Mohr seedling that stands 
almost 40 inches tall, with giant flowers of a uniform grey-lavender 
veined violet. A faint rosy glow envelops the entire flower and 
unlike its well known parent, William Mohr, it has a tall stem that 
branches near the top and is evidently perfectly hardy and easy to 
grow. Of great value to breeders as it produces seed readily. $1 2.50

OVER HERE (C. G. White) 
The standards of this unique iris are light Prussian red flushed with 
glowing violet, giving a beautiful antique bronze effect. The falls 
are blackish red-purple flushed in the center with pansy violet and 
quite heavily veined with deep brown. The haft is veined white 
and the beard is soft yellow. Flowers quite large and flaring on 
36-inch stems. Exact parentage is lost, but "Over Here" is one- 
fourth oncocyclus. 75c,- 3 for $2.00 
OYEZ (C. G. White) 
Sold out for 1940. 
PACIFIC (Essig) 
Try planting this iris near some of your pinks. It is a large flower 
of a beautiful shade of clear blue that is particularly desirable in the 
garden. Early blooming and of proven hardiness. We recommend it 
highly. 2)4 feet. 25c; 3 for 50c 
PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig) 
One of the most sensational irises in our garden. Large stately 
flowers of pale blue, uniform throughout, carried on tall sturdy stems. 
The standards are four inches high, the falls slightly flaring and four 
inches long, and the beard a bright orange. We have seen single 
stems with as many as six of these enormous blooms open at one 
time. We cannot praise this iris too highly. 4 feet. 
"The plant of Pale Moonlight you sent me was the biggest one 
I ever saw and threw four tremendous bloom stalks, which made it 
the outstanding thing in the garden." (Virginia.) 
See illustration, page 16. 35c; 3 for 75c 
PERSIA (Ayres) 
We have seen this iris blooming in nearly every section of the 
country, and each time it impresses us anew with its exquisite charm 
and refinement. There is something particularly appealing about this 
lovely blend of smoky blue, grey and bronze that grows upon one 
with each renewed acquaintance. Large handsome flowers. 3 feet.
