Alastor: An English origination; winner of the Silver Medal at the famed Chelsea show in 1937. The 
glistening tones of Alastor have a distinct satiny texture especially on the falls; form; tall conical standards, 
semi-flaring falls. Beard: very conspicuous bright orange. The color is a deep pink. The nearest iris in 
color would be Evelyn Benson but there is more gold in Alastor and it is superior in every other way. The 
tones of pink are beautifully lit up by an underlay of old gold that is more pronounced at the haft which 
is golden hazel brown. A good sized flower, it is the iris for that unfilled niche in your garden. Good 
grower, branched stem, 3 feet. Price, each $ 10.00 
La l^orraiiie: A blend that arrests the eye. Dr. Ayres has produced a blend of elusive charm. A fawn 
self overlaid coppery pink tones with the falls flushed a tone of mellow heliotrope. The throat of the 
flower has a soft golden candle-like glow. Not a deep blend, it gives a garden effect of coppery-pink. Stand¬ 
ards are rigidly held. It has the size of its progenitor K. V. Ayres, though it is slightly broader in form. 
Not over average height, it carries several blooms on branched stems. The entire blossom is covered with 
a frosty, glistening silver iridescence. A unique and attractive blend. Because of a large stock we offer 
it at a very moderate price though it rates with the other offerings in excellence and merit. 
Price, each $ 15.00 
Salar: We offer Salar as the first of the salmon toned iris. A lovely pleasing combination of gleaming, 
glistening salmon tints on opalescent flesh and cream. The falls have rose shadings around the beard. In 
effect it is a slight bicolor because of the red-salmon tints in the falls. The color is most unusual and it is 
stunning in the mass or clump. Unequalled in its class, it is a true “break” in its color. Upright standards, 
recurving, hanging falls. Very well substanced blooms. Stock is limited but we offer a limited supply 
this year to hobbyists and hybridists who have inquired for this commanding new development. 
Price, each $ 25.00 
i^piiii Gold: On our annual visits to famous iris gardens scattered over the U. S. the most vivid impres¬ 
sions are left by a few choice iris. Our first sight of Spun Gold was a thriller. Luminous velvety yellow with 
the glistening thick texture we generally associate with dark velvets and reds, it is about the richest deep 
golden-yellow color imaginable. The petals have a thick, plush-like body and texture. The standards 
and falls are broad and of the same rich shade of yellow. Not a vein or shading mars the purity of coloring 
from the tip of the petal to the center and its color is enhanced by the rich beard. 
It is a sensational creation glowing like a golden comet. The flowers are good sized, well formed and 
well distributed on sturdy stalks. A splendid creation; rated 96 by a committee of judges of the American 
Iris Society, the highest individual rating awarded last blooming season. The foliage is luxuriant and it 
increases well. 38". Price, each $ 35.00 Net 
Ala$$ka: We offer this variety as the finest creation in the Intermediate class. It is pure white with abso¬ 
lutely no veins or marks and soft yellow beard. It is good sized and significant is the fact that this flower 
is broad petalled and full in all its parts. It can be put on trial for rating and will equal, if not surpass, 
most tall bearded iris, so excellent is its quality. The stems are 32 inches tall bearing 2 or 3 branched stems. 
Fine leathery substance, smooth finish and the flower has a pronounced fragrance of sweet locust. 
Price, each $ 7.50
