SPRING DANCE (Milliken) 
This refreshingly beautiful iris is truly a song in the garden with 
its superb flowers carried high on giant four to five-foot stems. The 
color effect is a fresh uniform Ii q ht lavender faintly suffused with 
golden yellow. An orange beard that deepens to a brilliant glow 
at the center of the flower gives a warmth to the yellow suffusion. 
Spring Dance is another iris particularly recommended for the 
milder climates, for it is a luxuriant grower and an early bloomer. 
Its hardiness is not as yet tested. $3.50 
STIPPLES (Essig) 
A charming little flower with bluish-violet stippling, splashed on 
its white falls and bluish standards. 2)4 feet. 25c,• 3 for 50c 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland) 
Of rare coloring with its standards of light golden tan and its 
falls slightly darker flushed with olive and possessing a velvety finish. 
You will be particularly pleased with the distinguished poise and 
trim neatness of this iris. Over 3 feet. 60c,- 3 for $1.50 
SUNGOLD (Milliken) 
The earliest of the large-flowered yellows and one of the most 
popular irises we have introduced. The flowers are a medium shade 
of bright yellow and are simply enormous in size with wide flaring 
falls of heavy firm substance. The stems are strong and tall and the 
plant is extremely vigorous, increasing rapidly so that a single,plant 
soon makes a large clump that blooms freely over an unusually long 
period of time. Sungold is an iris of such quality and boldness that 
in our display garden last season it was selected by many visitors 
as the finest in our entire collection. 3J4 feet. $3.50,- 3 for $7.50 
SWEET ALIBI (C. G. White) 
Here is an alibi for lingering long in your garden. This is a "fool¬ 
proof" iris. From all parts of the country come enthusiastic comments 
on its remarkably broad petals, its heavy substance, its freedom of 
bloom and, most of all, admiration for its enormous, sparkling, deep 
cream flowers. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
TARANTELLA (Sass) 
A "pink plicata" with long hanging falls and wavy standards. 
The flowers are larger than other varieties of this type and are 
carried on tall well-branched stems. A profuse bloomer. 3 feet. 
60c,- 3 for $1.50 
TENAYA (Essig) 
To quote from an iris grower in Massachusetts: "Although 
introduced in 1933, the fact that it won the Silver Medal for being 
the best stalk in the show at Rockefeller Center in 1937 is a strong 
proof of its continued standing as a fine iris. It is a vigorous plant 
coming through each winter with its courage undimmed. Its branching 
is low and it is always covered with bloom,- the color effect is 
blackish-reddish-purple,- one of the most satisfactory plants in the 
garden. 3)4 feet.” 35c; 3 for 75c 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS (Sass) 
In a mass this attracts a great deal of attention. It is a dark rich pur¬ 
ple with a dark beard. The texture is fine and the falls very velvety. 
2)4 feet. 50c,- 3 for $1.00 
PERSIA 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass) 
Another new iris to our garden, being a mid-west origination of 
recent introduction. It is described as: "Tall (40 inches), well 
branched, and of fine form with a general color effect of bright red. 
The flower is a deep rich red brightened by its showy orange beard. 
Brown haft markings." Very scarce and in great demand. 
"The Red Douglas is the best by lar of the decidedly red-purples. 
In my judgment, it is one of the best irises introduced in recent years. 
It is large, rich in appearance and grows unusually well.” Comment 
from a Virginia iris critic. $6.00 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres) 
One of the new large hardy plicatas. The wide falls are particularly 
beautiful. The penciling is in a very blue shade of lavender. 3 feet. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
TITMOUSE (Will iamson) 
One of the lovely little table irises having dainty flowers on 
slender graceful stems. Amber yellow speckled and edged with 
violet. 18 inches. 35c
