AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
9 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) M. 30". 
Ranks as one of the very top flight reds as we have 
achieved them in iris. Medium tall stem with flowers of 
smooth, velvety-toned vivid red. Possessing real color ap¬ 
peal it is as pure red as any iris in commerce today. Rich 
color, good substance, good form. The flowers are full 
formed with hafts solidly colored red and more glossy vel¬ 
vety falls, handsomely contrasted by the rich beard. Not 
a fast grower, it takes about two years to give its best per¬ 
formance. $10.00 
GENEVIEVE SEROUGE (Cayeux 1932) M. 34". 
A soft pastel blend of honey-yellow and misty blue. It 
is large and of an oddly crinkled texture. 35c; 3 for 75c 
GLEN ELLEN (Connell 1939) M. 36". 
Attractive new luminous golden tan blend; an eloquent 
portrayal of autumn splendor. The golden tan echoes in 
tones of bronze-yellow with faint brushings of brown and 
plum especially in the falls with deeper golden shading at 
the haft. Immense size, good substance and form. Well 
branched stems, very tall. Imposing and distinctive. 
$15.00 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) M. 38". 
JT Brittle, cool, sheer — a giant ice-blue of unmatched sub¬ 
stance overlain with a sparkle like frost crystals. Supremely 
beautiful, but a rather miffy grower. $1.00; 3 for $2.25 
GOLDEN AGE (J. Sass 1939) M. 36". 
Late blooming, tall, well branched yellow. Deep yellow 
color marked heavily at the haft. Hardy and free blooming. 
$ 10.00 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitchell 1936) M. 36". 
Rich golden yellow of medium size without haft markings. 
Remarkably even-toned and smooth in texture. A beau¬ 
tiful new yellow from the originator of many of our best 
in this color class. $1.00 
GOLDEN HELMET (J. Sass 1933) M. 34". 
A lightly ruffled iris of old-gold coloring with falls of ox- 
blood red. It has all the zip and brilliance of fiery old King 
Tut, but is much larger. An iris of excellent habits and a 
real color gem. 50c 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn 1934) M. 30". 
One of the most colorful rich yellows, being a bright, 
clear buttercup yellow. Not large, it has a richness and 
depth of color possessed by few of the very newest varie¬ 
ties. Floriferous and a rapid increaser; stunning color. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.25 
GOLDEN LIGHT (H. Sass 1933) L. 34". 
A smartly-cut variety with crisp, unusual ruffling — a 
very individualistic iris. In color a golden yellow burnished 
orangy-cinnamon at the edges. Fully as bright as Fiesta 
but more of a golden-brown than a true copper. Also less 
smooth but more sprightly. A real gem for any fine col¬ 
lection. 35c; 3 for 75c 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938) ML. 40". 
A new dimensional yellow, this iris ranks as one of the 
finest of its kind. An iris of gleaming gold! Striking is 
this lovely rich yellow for its broad form and well branched 
stem; a fine color, very even and rich. A deep yellow and 
still a pure yellow. Its rounded dome form is majestic, 
heavily substanced. This iris and Fair Elaine represent 
two of the finest yellows to arrive from California. (Indi¬ 
vidual flower pictured on page 20 ) $12.50 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38". 
An exquisite new creamy yellow iris with an elusive 
charm. Its loveliness seems to lie principally in its shim¬ 
mering silkiness of texture and in the subtle infusion of 
golden light throughout the center of the flower. The beard 
is bright orange. We would have named this iris “Golden 
Heart” had the name been available, so appropriately does 
this name suggest the effect of a glowing inward light 
characteristic of this flower. A judge of the American Iris 
Society visiting our fields on a cloudy day remarked with 
surprise that Golden Treasure alone of all the varieties in 
the field seemed to be spotlighted by a shaft of sunlight 
breaking thru the clouds. Yet the sky was wholly overcast 
and the effect of glowing light was due solely to the intrinsic 
brightness of the variety. Completely hardy. (Pictured 
on page 11.) $3.00; 3 for $8.00 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935) M. 35". 
We now have in commerce three seedlings of the ever 
sensational iris, William Mohr, namely, Mohrson, Grace 
Mohr and Ormohr. The darkest in color is Mohrson. Grace 
Mohr is medium in tone, though darker than its parent. 
It is not quite as distinctly veined as William Mohr but has 
flaring falls, an unusual quality, and tall, well branched 
stems. $4.00 
GRACE STURTEVANT (Bliss 1926) EM. 32". 
A tall velvety red-brown with a blackish lustre on the 
falls. A brilliant yellow beard sets well on this ensemble. 
If you are without a fine brown, this is your iris. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40". 
Flaring Great Lakes with stiff, crispy petal texture, 
strikingly fine, widely branched stems and ideally formed 
blooms is one of the finer new blue introductions. It is 
purest blue without a vein. The beard is almost white; 
a grand new light blue. $4.00 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32". 
One of the finest whites for foreground planting. A very 
large variety with shapely blooms of splendid velvety tex¬ 
ture (unusual among the whites). Not a cold white but a 
warm, lustrous one — despite its snowy color: due in part 
to the warm golden beard and haft markings, and in part 
to a sparkling overlay of gold dust throughout the flower. 
Gudrun is a very finished iris, and one that will be the pride 
of any fancier’s garden. 35c; 3 for 75c 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934) EM. 36". 
d'his very large medium-deep yellow has fine branching 
and rivals El Capitan itself in size. There is no larger 
yellow, though others excel in depth of color and charm of 
form. Happy Days requires winter protection in our sec¬ 
tion. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. Sass 1932) EM. 38". 
Silvery lilac with a creamy-pink iridescence. Large and 
tall. A very halcyon iris personality. 25c 
INCOGNITO (White 1937) M. 37". 
Large flowered, a twilight combination of deep blue and 
deep purple. Semi-flaring falls unveined, velvety, dark and 
smooth Recalls a rich, more purple Winneshiek. Large 
as average. A sister of Blue Peter, it is larger in form and 
not as tall with more purple tones. $5.00
