COMPLETE LIST OF NEW AND 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Prices quoted are for single roots unless otherwise noted. The three prices 
apply to three roots of the same variety, not to three different varieties that may 
sell for the same price. It is much quicker and easier to ship three roots of 
one variety than one root of three different varieties that may have to be dug 
in three different gardens, hence the lower price. All orders subject to stock. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations.

AIDA (Mitchell). (Yellow seedling x King 
Midas.) Named for the beautiful dusky 
heroine of Verdi’s famous opera Aida, 
this iris combines delightful form with 
rich bronzy coloring. The standards are 
golden bronze, the falls showing a darker 
tint, as of tobacco. Entirely distinct from 
those of the Jean Cayeux type, being 
more on the copper shades than those of 
the latter. Appropriately named, for it is 
a most attractive, beautiful iris. Large 
blooms, heavy substance, good placement 
and free blooming. Mid-season. 36” 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
ALTA CALIFORNIA (Mitchell). First of 
the big, tall yellows, Alta California is still 
one of the best. Tallest of all the yellows, 
and a variety which has been recognized 
as outstanding wherever grown. 
Striking for mass planting, and excel- 
lent in every way. Color bright bronzy 
yellow, form of bloom perfect, and 
branching habit ideal. H. M., A. I. S. 
Mid-season. 48”............ 25c; 3 for 60c 
AMIGO (Williamson). So rich in color that 
it is often comparéd to a blue-purple 
pansy of the very richest color. The 
standards are of light lavender-blue, and 
the falls, which give the flower its regal 
richness, are of deepest violet-purple, set 
off by a narrow white margin. Flowers 
large. Described in the A. I. S. bulletin as 
“Rich as a pansy; a very stunning iris— 
I cannot praise it too highly.” Mid-season.

ANITRA (H. P. Sass). Although our per- 
sonal choice as the best light blue is 
Shining Waters, our catalog would not 
be complete without Anitra. This is be- 
cause Shining Waters is slightly tender, 
while Anitra will grow and bloom any 
place. However, there is room for both in 
every garden, for Anitra, though not as 
tall as the latter, has larger (simply huge) 
blooms. Good form and habit. Color, light 
Blue. Mid=segson: 36% s5, sass ee ee $1.00 
APHRA. See page 4. 
AUBANEL (Cayeux). A French iris of dis- 
tinction; one of Cayeux’s best. A beauti- 
ful pink blend. Standards shrimp pink 
tinted heliotrope and flushed yellow at 
the base, falls the same with a lilac spot 
at the center of each fall, golden yellow 
beard. C. M., 1935; A. M., 1938. 40”. . .$2.00 
AUREA. Tall “spuria” type often known as 
butterfly iris. See page 19. 
AVONDALE (Hans Sass). A big bold bi- 
color in rich strawberry red tones. Well- 
branched stems. Hardy everywhere. Mid- 
Season... \SGseeteres.s.. 9) cess 50c; 3 for $1.25 
BERKELEY BRONZE (Bruno x Dominion 
xX seedling). A decided improvement over 
Grace Sturtevant, having generally better 
form, taller and with a much smoother 
finish. Standards copper bronze, falls 
deep mahogany. Strong yellow beard with 
no white haft markings. Medium size 
blooms. Free bloomer. Mid-season. 38” 
25c; 3 for 60c 
BERKELEY FIRE (Dominion x seedling). 
Standards fiery coppery red, the bright- 
est we have ever seen on any iris. Beard 
gold, falls maroon, almost black. One of 
the brightest reds of all. Medium size 
blooms. Mid-season. 36”. .50c; 3 for $1.25 
BLACK WINGS. Still one of the best dark- 
colored iris. Runner up for Dykes Medal 
award in 1935. Standards are a luminous 
dark violet, falls much deeper, from a 
short distance they are almost black. 
Blooms of fine form, the falls being very ~ 
broad. Good stems, splendid growing 
habits. Mid-season........ 35c; 3 for $1.00 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grinter). A tall, clear 
pale ice-blue, having a smooth, velvety 
finish. An iris of great dignity, consid- 
ered by many to be the finest light blue; 
certainly one of the best. Tall and well 
branched. A. M., A. I. S., 1936. Mid-season. 
AAP a a iting. 700 cous 50c; 3 for $1.25 
BONANZA (Jacob Sass 1939). A very un- 
usual bright yellow plicata. Most of the 
yellow plicatas are pale with but faint 
marginal pattern, while in Bonanza the 
colors are deep and rich, and the plicata 
pattern is distinct, making it a very color- 
ful flower. Mid-season. 30”.......... $2.00 
BRIDAL VEIL (Mitchell 1936). Easily the 
most delicately beautiful white of all. 
Hardy everywhere. Not in competition 
with Snow King, as Bridal Veil is a 
dainty variety, perfect in form, beautiful 
in its clarity, which is enhanced by the 
clear, but tiny gold edging at the haft. 
Occasionally one bloom to a stalk 
flowers with only two standards — but 
summer watering tends to eliminate this 
fault. Perfect, graceful, branching. Sub- 
stance excellent. Early mid-season. 36” 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BRONZINO (Salbach 1937). Named for the 
famous creator of bronzes, this iris is so 
beautiful that even Bronzino himself 
would consider it a masterpiece. Tall, 
rich, and ideal in form and habit, Bron- 
zino, a remarkable new iris, adds a splen- 
did note of new color to the garden. 
Standards frosty golden bronze, falls rich 
coppery bronze—a color combination of 
great character and richness. Ideal low 
branching, leathery substance, domed 
standards, large flowers—in fact, Bron- 
zino merits a ranking of “good” in every 
particular.
