tall and stately with wide branches to hold the large blooms in candelabra style. 
The substance is very heavy, the standards broad and well domed, the falls wide 
and flaring. Nine to eleven buds give a long blooming season. The plants are 
very large, increasing well and blooming freely. $10.00 
DAYDAWN (Whiting 1940) M. 36 in. A fresh and cheerful blend of rosy pink and 
gold—early morning colors. The flowers are large and shapely, the stalk well 
branched and strong, the blooms proudly carried. This received an H. C. at the 
iris Show in Sioux City in 1939. Strong, heavy plants bloom and increase 
freely. $5.00 
Other Fine New Varieties 
ALLUMEUSE (Gage 1938) M. 45 in. Mr. Gage says that this is the most gorgeously 
colored iris that he had ever selected from his seed beds. The standards are 
wisteria violet, the falls pansy violet shading to raisin purple. The flowers are 
large and the substance is extra heavy with velvety texture. We eagerly await 
its blooming here. H. M. 1938, Per. R. 87, 1939. $5.00 
ANNE NEWHARD (Wiesner-Nesmith 1940) V. L. 38 in. A most unique and lovely 
new blue bicolor. The wide falls are semi-flaring and of deep, velvety blue 
purple with no venation at the haft; the firmly arched standards are of hyacinth 
blue with a tiny edging of the same deep blue as the falls, extending completely 
around the standards. A finely finished flower of graceful form and good 
branching habits. Very late—try it near pink and white oriental poppies or late 
yellow irises. We are glad to be able to show this in our garden the year of its 
introduction. $10.00 
AUBANEL (Cay. 1935) M. 38 in. A superb, glistening flower of shrimp pink with a 
central glow of bronzy yellow. A flush of violet on the falls adds charm and 
piquancy to this lovely iris. C. M. France 1935, A. M. 1938, R. 89, 1939. $4.50 
BONANZA (J. Sass 1939) M. 34 in. A very fine new yellow and brown plicata of 
moderate size and clear, beautiful coloring. The yellow ground is of 
medium deep tone, the brown markings are fine and distinct, neatly edging the 
falls. Strong plants with free bloom, good stalks and branching, $5.00 
BRONZINO (Sal. 1937) M. 40 in. Strikingly rich in color, tall, ideal in form and habit 
says the originator of this iris. The standards are of frosty, golden bronze, the 
falls of lich coppery bronze— sl color combination of great character and richness. 
H. M. 1939, Per. R. 87, 1939. $3.50 
DUBROVNIK (Wmsn. 1938) M. 36 in. An outstanding beauty in rosy phlox purple 
richly blended with gold, as colorful and lovely as the Jugoslavian city for which 
it is named. Its splendid form, silky texture and brilliant coloring make it a 
glowing addition to the garden favorites. A blaze of blue on the falls accentuates 
its striking charm. Vigorous and floriferous. R. 87, 1939. $5.00 
FAIR ELAINE (Mit. 1938) M, 40 in. “Elaine the fair, Elaine the lovable,”—This 
lovely new iris has been chosen by many as one of the most beautiful ever to be 
introduced in the west. The standards are pale, soft cream color, almost white, 
and the falls are pure, rich yellow—truly a charming combination. We hope that 
it will bloom here this spring. It is large, of good substance and perfectly 
branched. H. M. 1939, R. 91, 1939. $15.00 
FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill 1940) After breeding King Tut and El Tovar and their 
seedlings logether for several generations, Mr, Hill has chosen this vivacious 
beauty to add charm to our gardens. The color is hard to visualize, but those 
who are familiar with the luscious Indian Cling peach can imagine a flower of its 
rich russet red coloring. Etruscan red in Ridgeway comes close to it. While the 
flower is a near self, the falls seem purer and richer in hue because of the heavy 
velvety texture. It is named for a niece of the Hills’ who played Angela in 
Eugene O’Neill’s “Angela Is Twenty One.” 
FRANK ADAMS (Lap.-Gage 1937) M. 48 in. This is considered by many to be one of 
the finest of the newer variegatas. Its well arched standards are maise yellow, 
its falls vinaceous purple. As this latter term is somewhat ambiguous, perhaps 
the name amethyst from the Dictionary of Color is more descriptive. The flowers 
are large and the branching is exceptionally fine. H. M. 1938 Per. R. 89, 1939.
