HARRIET FORDYCE *** (Wies. ‘40) blue white, 42’. $10.00 
“An enormous white with an opalescent sheen of silvery blue.” 
A giant from Gudrun x Osceola, as if one contained the other, 
with the straight petallage having that delicate crinkling ot 
Osceola. Embodies all the fine qualities of size, height, propor- 
tion, substance, and growth that are so well known in Mr. Weisner’s 
iris. 
HELEN M. RIEDEL ** (Ried. ‘40) orange red, 40”. $10.00 
Similar to Radiant but is said to be much improved with glisten- 
ing gold standards and bright orange red falls. 
ILION *** (Cay. ’36) plicata, bluer standards, 36”. $2.25 
This French plicata has standards more blue than white and the 
falls are edged the same color, darker at the haft. A touch of true 
beauty from overseas. 
INCOGNITO **** (White ‘38) red purple, 42’. $2.00 
This velvety red purple giant of towering stature is a sister of 
Blue Peter, having just as large blooms with flaring falls and 
more purple tones. It’s the most handsome and noble iris in this 
dark color class with its rich robes of lustrous texture. 
INDIAN HILLS **** (Grant ‘35) wine purple, 38’. 50c 
The Indian Hills are the richest purple, far or near. They are 
large, of oval form and excellent proportion—seeking perfection. 
fi IVORY QUEEN (Mill. ‘40) ivory, 40”. $7.00 
Fe Ady From Blue Spire x Lady Paramount comes this excep- 
uM : : : : 
tionally large and uniform soft cream, with a bright orange 
beard giving a pleasing accent to the center of the flower. 
Branching well out, the flowers with wide and flaring falls are 
strong in substance. 
JACK O’LANTERN *** (Groff ‘39) gold and red, 28”. $3.00 
Jacks the brightest variegata in the garden. The fairly broad 
standards are intense clear smooth gold, the velvety broad 
shouqldered falls are a wonderful rich, deep red edged with 
clean gold. The branching is low and wide, and Jack makes 
the most ideal iris for border plantings both far and near. 
JANET BUTLER *** (McKee ‘38) yellow and maroon, 35’ $1.00 
A much brighter and deeper Mary Geddes—and Mary was a 
Dykes winner. So you may vouch for the radiance of the gay 
yellow standards slightly bronzed with lavender, and the semi- 
yellow falls veined maroon from the haft down through the center 
of the falls. 
JASMANIA **** (Ayres ‘35) warmest yellow, 40’. 50c 
Luscious rich banana yellow; most perfect form, closed standards 
and artistic outstretched falls; ideal immense size, and superlative 
substance. There’s the faintest touch of lavender in the center 
of the falls and the very wide hafts are bronze-tinged, but the 
color effect is a warm yellow over all. A.M. ‘37. P.R. 91. 
JEAN CAYEUX **** (Cay. ‘31) copper tan, 36” 35¢ 
In ‘31, France recognized the new true beauty of this light cop-

commend this as the loveliest of this tone with its graceful form 
of full flaring falls and open slightly ruffled standards.

Richest solid brown in the garden, tall and stately. 
JELLOWAY *** (Park. ‘36) first deep yellow, 42”. 75¢ 
Extremely prolific and floriferous and so rich, so bright, so clear 
that it makes most other yellows look pale. The color of these large 
full blooms more than makes up for their lack of heavy sub- 
stance. A.M. ‘38. 
JOYCETTE *** (J. Sass ‘32) clear rich red, 42” 35c¢ 
A lively red iris of heavy substance and excellent form.

§. KING’S RANSOM (Mill. ‘40) frilled yellow, 44’. $10.00

too. Its exceedingly frilled and wavy edges are so new in the 
yellow field.

standards and velvety dahlia violet falls. 
LADY PARAMOUNT *** (White ‘34) large silky yellow, 42’. 35¢

pink undertone; and deep vinaceous flaring falls. The

Yellow crests.

ble attraction.
