SWEET ALIBI 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook) 
A new bright coppery-red blend of such clean color that it has 
almost a metallic finish. Large bold flowers and a strong grower. 
Probably the best of the bronzy-reds. $3.50 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr) 
One of the largest flowered irises we grow and a variety that 
stands out. Violet in color—highly recommended for California. 
4 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ELECTRA UJ. Sass) 
A large early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a white 
ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. Blooms are 
well-rounded and of good size. 21% feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
EESA SASS (H. P. Sass) 
Hailed as an entirely new shade of yellow. A clear sulphur 
yellow with a greenish cast in its depths and a white blaze near the 
half. The flowers are of medium size, rounded in form and slightly 
frilled at the edges. One of the finest of all the Sass irises. $12.50 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson) 
A coppery, red-toned iris which has received a great deal of 
favorable comment. It has been called one of the reddest of red 
irises. It is rich and dark with yellow in the haft, veined brownish- 
purple. The standards are the same color as the falls except that 
the falls have a velvety texture. 35c; 3 for 75c 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell) 
This is one of the most outstanding of the new introductions which 
we saw in 1939. It is a decided break in breeding and a delight- 
fully beautiful creation. The standards are a very soft cream, almost 
white, and the falls are a deep, rich yellow. This combination of 
cream and yellow, accented by a showy orange beard, is one of 
the most charming to be found in any iris. 
Large flowers of good substance on tall well-branched stems. A 
cross of California Gold and Happy Days. 3 feet. $5.00

FAIR ENOUGH (C. G. White) 
ls Fair Enough indeed! It could hardly be excelled as a medium- 
toned blue iris. The broad, crisp, sparkling petals rest on perfectly 
branched stems 48 inches tall. It has a long blooming season, being 
one of the earliest of the large flowered varieties to bloom and it 
continues to bloom past all believing. It is one of the bluest toned 
irises, rating with Shining Waters and Early Mass. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge) 
A light blend of salmon, coral, golden sand and henna, with a 
flush of lavender. The delicate colors are apt to fade in the strong 
sunlight of Southern California and perhaps this variety should be 
grown in partial shade in this locality. Flowers of good size_on 
3-foot stems. 75¢ 
F. B. MEAD (Mead-Ried.) 
A fine large white plicata marked with blue-purple. Similar to 
Los Angeles only proven to be hardy and prolific in the colder 
climates. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
FERRIC (Milliken) 
For deep velvety richness in a glowing deep red iris, Ferric has 
no equal. And yet, in spite of the depth of color, this iris is a strong 
landscape variety. The large, handsome flowers with wide hanging 
falls and dome-shaped standards are carried on three-foot, well- 
branched stems and the plants are of unquestioned hardiness. An 
introduction of outstanding merit. 
For those who like a technical description we might add that the 
standards are light Aster-purple, flushed with brown and the falls 
deeper and redder than Bordeaux. The beard is orange-brown; the 
flower is slightly fragrant, and the blooming period is from mid- 
season to late. $3.50 
FIESTA (C. G. White) 
Needs no description for those who have seen it. It is not an 
iris that one forgets. The standards are like sparkling copper and the 
falls are copper with tints of rose-purple. The hafts are bright 
yellow and the beard is brilliant orange. The unopened buds 
resemble burnished copper. It is a large flower on a 38-inch stem. 
Not only is it a rare color among irises, it is also strikingly beautiful. 
See illustration on pagz 15. $5.00 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr) 
This iris is so outstanding and such a universally dependable 
performer that it should be in every garden. It is a luminous pink 
bi-color of exceptional size, with the standards a pale lilac and the 
flaring falls a deep lilac-rose. The flowers have a clean, well-bred 
appearance and are at once admired for their charming form and 
poise. Blooming period from midseason to very late. 31% feet. 
See illustration, page 16. 25c; 3 for 50c 
GALLANT LEADER (Wiesner) 
A fine bold iris of real merit. The standards are deep rose-red, 
heavily suffused with gold and the falls are semi-flaring and of deep 
velvety maroon blending into rich brown at the broad heft. This 
fine bronze iris has exceptionally large flowers of excellent sub- 
stance and grows to a height of about 3% feet. $2.50 
GOLDEN FLARE (Insole) 
A brilliant little flower of flame rose and yellow that is much 
admired. Low growing and good for cutting. 35c; 3 for 75c 
GOLDEN HIND (Chedburn) 
Though not a large flower, this is one of the most colorful of the 
deep yellows. A clear rich tone of deep buttercup yellow. Rapid 
grower. 2 feet. 50c 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach) 
Regarded by the originator to be his finest yellow. He describes 
it as a large perfectly-formed flower of soft gleaming gold.that does 
not fade. 3% feet. $5.00 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner) 
Highly regarded as one of the best new creamy yellow irises. 
It's loveliness seems to be principally in its shimmering silkiness of 
texture and in the infusion of golden light throughout the center of 
the flower. Hardy. 3 feet. $1.00 
GOLD LACE (Lothrop) 
A seedling of Mme. Durrand having the tall, slender graceful stem 
of its parent and also the characteristic habit of bringing forth 
flower after flower from the same branch until one wonders if the 
supply will ever be exhausted. The standards are a bright old gold 
and the flaring old gold falls are smoothly overlaid with rosy lavender. 
The whole flower is covered with sparkling gold dust. 3 feet. 
50c; 3 for $1.00
