BRUNHILDE 

ORLOFF 
(Salbach). Introduced as 
setting a new standard for iris of its type, 
Brunhilde has now definitely established 
itself as one of the highest ranking, hav- 
ing performed ideally everywhere. Its 
outstanding quality is perhaps best de- 
scribed by an A. I. S. judge from Minne- 
sota, who says of Brunhilde: (It is) “A 
classic in its color section.” 
In color it is rich deep cobalt blue, the 
only iris of this tone in commerce, the 
others being either lighter blue or a dark- 
er blue-violet. Blooms are of good form. 
We have had flower stalks with as many 
as twenty blooms and buds. The flowers 
are large and stems tall. A. M., A. I. S., 
1937. Mid-season. 40”...... 50c; 3 for $1.25 
BUECHLEY’S GIANT. A simply huge light 
lavender blue bi-color that has been 
called a glorified Lord of June. One of the 
largest iris grown, and considered by at 
least one grower to be his best seller. Mid-

CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell 1933). One 
of the brightest of all the yellows, because 
of its brightness it was first nicknamed 
“Brazen Hussy.” Blooms are of good size 
and good form. Well-branched stalks. We 
have had many letters of praise from 
various sections and even from foreign 
lands. In California it often blooms in the 
fall as well as spring. The color is a deep 
bright yellow. Runner up for Dykes Medal, 
1937. Mid-season. 36”...... 35c; 3 for $1.00 

AMIGO 
CASTALIA (Williamson). Considered the 
“pluest” iris of all. Good size, perfect 
form, heavy texture. Fragrant. H. M., A. 
I. S., 1936. Mid-season....35ce; 3 for $1.00 
CASQUE d@’OR (Jacob Sass 1937). We are 
most pleased to have been able to help 
introduce this magnificent iris. It is a 
most stunning, richly colored variegata, 
entirely different from City of Lincoln. 
The great value of Casque d’Or arises 
from its richness, while City of Lincoln 
is most striking because of its unusual 
brightness. 
Standards old gold with greenish mid- 
rib, falls velvety oxblood red, almost a 
maroon, with margin of gold. Mid-season.

CHARM (Mitchell 1937). Although com- 
peting in the crowded red field, Charm is 
so distinct that it is apparently headed 
for many future triumphs. Chief of its 
many points of distinction is that it is a 
glowing light strawberry red, while the 
other varieties are mostly on the deeper 
tones. 
Color by Ridgway: standards Jasper 
red, falls Pompeian red. Well branched, 
of good form, and with heavy texture. 
Hardiness is assured, as Charm was pro- 
duced from a Helios x King Midas cross.

CHEERIO (Ayres). A prominent English 
authority on iris says: “This was really 
magnificent as growing in its originator’s 

MISSOURI 
CITY OF LINCOLN (Hans Sass). Tall and 
brilliant, it is a real standout. The bright- 
est variegata that we know of. As we saw 
City of Lincoln blooming in the gardens 
of the Sass Brothers, it stood out like a 
beacon-light; the most vividly colored va- 
riety of all. 
Standards clear bright yellow, falls rich 
red. Well branched. Fine substance. We 
would class this with first ten best iris.

CINNAMON BEAR (Salbach 1940). (Se- 
duction x (Comstock x Alta California) ). 
A big plicata in tones of cinnamon, hence 
the name. The standards are a cream 
ground heavily lined and stippled cinna- 
mon, the falls are broad and of heavy 
substance and are a creamy yellow stip- 
pled and lined pansy purple. Except near 
the haft, the falls are stitched and lined 
gold. Stems are tall and well branched. 
Plants make good growth and multiply 
rapidly. Unlike any other iris in our col- 
lections Late 3G eee eee caer $2.00 
CLARA NOYES. An unusual variety with 
colors blended much as in a Talisman 
rose. Low growing, but so distinct that it 
is entirely different from any other iris. 
Standards tan, falls reddish bronze, lined 
deeper bronze. Yellow beard and haft 
undertone of the same color. 
Decidedly popular. A. M., A. I. S., 1932. 
Rhizomes naturally small. Mid-season.

COPPER CASCADE (Kleinsorge 1939). 
(Treasure Island x Far West.) An iris in 
CAPITOLA (Reinelt 1940). (Wm. Mohr x 
Ibmacrantha.) An iris of the Wm. Mohr 
type but a better grower and a free bloom- 
er. Blooms are very large and showy. The 
standards are a bright red violet heavily 
veined with deeper color. Falls are very 
broad and similar in color to standards 
but not so intense and are heavily veined 
deeper violet. Stunning in the garden.

Pure cream with deeper heart (rich 
creamy ivory) and beard of creamy yel-

CHINA ROSE (Salbach 1934). A “little 
Frieda Mohr” except that it is warmer in 
color and has a most delicate antique ap- 
pearance. Colors exquisitely blended, and 
blooms are the most orchid-like of any 
iris. Described as orchid-rose warmed by 
a bronze undertone at the bottom of the 
standards. A decided favorite which flow-

COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland). Considered 
Chancellor Kirkland’s most outstanding

A new “break” in breeding, described as 
“The outstanding iris of the century. 
Color definitely copper, the shade being 
best described as soft copper-bronze simi- 
lar to, but brighter and richer than a 
used penny.” Very definitely copper col-
