FAIR ELAINE 
FORTUNA (Mitchell). A low growing, 
large flowered clear amber yellow. 
The falls are somewhat lighter yellow 
but faintly reticulated red brown at 
the haft. A most outstanding and 
popular flower which does not fade. 
Late blooming. Splendid for borders.

FRANK ADAMS (Lapham). Last spring 
when we were favored with a visit 
from Mr. and Mrs. Lapham, the writer 
pointed out Frank Adams as one of 
the finest new iris, quite forgetting 
who originated it. The laugh was 
hearty when Mr. Lapham acknowl¬ 
edged it as his. Tall and stately with 
blooms beautifully placed on well- 
branched stems. The large blooms 
carry a delightful color combination of 
fawn-pink standards, blended pink, and 
falls of crushed strawberry. The color 
effect is bright and cheerful. Mid¬ 
season. 47".$5.00 
As Others See Us 
We have always tried to deserve a 
reputation of offering and delivering 
nothing but that which is of the highest 
quality. It seems to us that our measure 
of success in this respect is indicated by 
the fact that one garden authority defin¬ 
itely considers our iris introductions to 
be the finest offered. A Flower Grower- 
author characterizes our reputation as 
“unimpeachable”, and a Canadian grower 
ridicules the necessity of our giving 
reference for a credit purchase.

EL CAPITAN 
GLORIOLE (Gage). A very fine, large 
glistening light blue. Simply huge in 
size, and with ruffled petals. Self- 
colored. An outstanding variety with 
extra heavy texture capable of with¬ 
standing both rain and sun. A. M., 
A. I. S., 1935. Mid-season. 40". 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitchell 1936). With¬ 
out question, the clearest yellow iris 
of all — glistening rich gold that is 
soft, yet rich in tone. Completely dis¬ 
tinct in tone, form, and habit from all 
other yellows. 
fi'he color is much like that of Pluie 
d’Or, but Golden Bear is a good-sized 
iris, tall, and ideally branched. In fact, 
it has every quality necessary to make 
it a top ranking iris, such as substance, 
form, etc. Has never shown any 
tendency to fade, and is completely 
hardy everywhere. H. M., A. I. S., 
1937. Mid-season. 36".$1.00 
GOLDEN LIGHT. Probably the very 
best small flowered iris in commerce, 
thanks to its beautiful combination of 
colors. Its beauty is practically im¬ 
possible to describe, for it is a har¬ 
monious blend of apricot yellow, cinna¬ 
mon, light yellow, faintly suffused pink, 
and light orange. Best possible com¬ 
parison is to say that the colors are 
very much like those of an apricot, 
part light yellow, part rich and ruddy. 
Nicely branched stems. Mid-season. 
H. M., A. I. S., 1936. 38".

EASTER MORN 
FRIEDA MOHR. If you have an iris 
garden and haven’t Frieda Mohr your 
iris garden isn’t complete. Introduced 
many seasons ago, Frieda Mohr has 
definitely proved itself to be the most 
outstanding iris ever raised. When 
introduced, it absolutely eclipsed any¬ 
thing in its color range. What is more 
remarkable, Frieda Mohr today re¬ 
mains the same standout in its class — 
absolutely without competition. Grows 
well everywhere, unexcelled for any 
purpose. An all-around iris that is 
the most popular variety exisiting. 
Beautiful lavender or orchid pink. 
Tall and stately, large blooms so 
perfect they can be used as a standard 
of comparison. Delightfully fragrant. 
A very free bloomer, and one of the 
finest of all tall iris for mass planting. 
Mid-season to late. 48"....25c; 3 for 50c 
12 for $1.50; 50 for $5.75 
FRIVOLITE. A very fine French origi¬ 
nation. Medium sized blooms. Stand¬ 
ards orchid pink, falls rose. Mid¬ 
season. 32".25c; 3 for 50c 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter). A very 
smooth dark velvety red, almost ma¬ 
roon, lit by an orange beard and 
possessing a very smooth lacquer-like 
finish. The blooms are large and well 
formed. Stems of medium height, well 
branched. Very free flowering. Per¬ 
fectly hardy in the coldest climate. 
Late. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 33"..$5.00 
GAYNELLE. This splendid intermediate 
is most outstanding, due particularly 
to the fact that it is the very earliest 
of the yellows. Very free bloomer. 
Makes a solid mass of pale gold at 
blooming time. 20".25c; 3 for 50c 
GERMAIN PERTHUIS. An enormous 
rich violet purple self with striking 
orange beard. Tall, well branched. 
Mid-season. 36".25c; 3 for 50c
