FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell 1938). (Happy 
Days x California Gold.) Aptly described 
by G. L. Pilkington, President of The Iris 
Society of England, and one of the best 
authorities on iris: “This I recommend 
to be the finest yellow I have yet seen, 
because it is approaching a bi-color, i.e., 
it contains a lot of white in its make-up. 
The standards are palest primrose ap- 
proaching white, the falls golden yellow 
paling at the base and the beard is bright 
orange. The form is very good and the 
stems are well branched. It is an iris 
which stands out from afar and is, in my 
opinion, of greater value as a garden iris 
than the self yellows, however good their 
color may be.” 
One of the few iris that has commanded 
an introductory price of more than $25.00, 
yet it was sold out before the end of July. 
There is still only a limited supply. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1937. Mid-season. 40”...... $10.00 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge). A huge blend of 
soft gold, light bronze and palest salmon. 
Of bold, sturdy growing habit, with large 
blooms on fine 40” stalks. Late mid- 
season. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
FLORENTINE. A new blue-toned plicata 
that deserves to be ranked with the best 
of the plicatas. The ground color is white, 
and both standards and falls are evenly 
dotted and lined with clear lilac mauve. 
Blooms of large size and good form, and 
are freely produced. Very beautiful and 
distinct. Received several French awards.

FRANK ADAMS (Lapham). Last spring 
when we were favored with a visit from 
Mr. and Mrs. Lapham, the writer pointed 
out Frank Adams as one of the finest new 
iris, quite forgetting who originated it. 
The laugh. was hearty when Mr. Lapham 
acknowledged it as his. Tall and stately 
with blooms beautifully placed on well- 
branched stems. The large blooms carry 
a delightful color combination of fawn- 
pink standards, blended pink, and falls of 
crushed strawberry. The color effect is 
bright and cheerful. Mid-season. 47”. $2.50 
FRIEDA MOHR. If you have an iris garden 
and haven’t Frieda Mohr your iris gar- 
den isn’t complete. Introduced many sea- 
sons ago, Frieda Mohr has definitely 
proved itself to be the most outstanding 
iris ever raised. When introduced, it ab- 
solutely eclipsed anything in its color 
range. What is more remarkable, Frieda 
Mohr today remains the same standout 
in its class—absolutely without competi- 
tion. Grows well everywhere, unexcelled 
for any purpose. An all-around iris that 
is the most popular variety existing. 
Beautiful lavender or orchid pink. 
Tall and stately, large blooms so per- 
fect they can be used as a standard of 
comparison, Delightfully fragrant. A very 
free bloomer, and one of the finest of all 
tall iris for mass planting. Mid-season to 
late. 48”. 
25c; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00; 50 for $6.00 
FRIVOLITE. A very fine French origina-

GARDEN MAGIC (Grinier). A very smooth 
dark velvety red, almost maroon, lit by an 
orange beard and possessing a very 
smooth lacquer-like finish. The blooms 
are large and well formed. Stems of me- 
dium height, well branched. Very free 
flowering. Perfectly hardy in the coldest 
climate. Late. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 33”. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitchell 1936). Without 
question the clearest yellow iris of all— 
glistening rich gold that is soft, yet rich 
in tone. Completely distinct in tone, form 
and habit from all other yellows. 
Golden Bear is a good-sized iris, tall 
and ideally branched. In fact, it has every 
quality necessary to make it a top-rank- 
ing iris, such as substance, form, ete. 
Has never shown any tendency to fade, 
and is completely hardy everywhere. H. 
M., A. I. S., 1937. Mid-season. 36”....75¢ 
GOLDEN BOW (Jacob Sass). A large flow- 
ered, deep yellow intermediate of fine 
form and habit. Considered to be the very 
best of the deep-toned, early blooming 
yellows. Most attractive and decidedly de- 
sirable. H. M., A. I. S., 1936. 26”.

GOLDEN LIGHT. Not large but very bright 
and colorful. A harmonious blend of apri- 
cot yellow, cinnamon light yellow, faintly 
suffused pink. Slightly ruffled. Mid-sea-

GOLDEN MADONNA (Essig-Salbach 1940). 
To say that Golden Madonna is a beauti- 
ful iris would convey to the reader only 
half of the picture. In addition to being 
beautiful, Golden Madonna impresses 
one with its purity of color, elegance of 
form and finish. The very large blooms of 
good substance, are beautifully poised on 
tall, strong, well-branched flower stalks. 
The standards are well domed and are 
creamy yellow color; falls are semi-flar- 
ing and are milk white, edged old gold.

GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938). One 
of the deepest clear yellow of large size 
that thrives in all climates. We have had 
many letters of praise from different sec- 
tions of the country, and even from for- 
eign lands. One of England’s best iris au- 
thorities says: “An orange yellow self 
with deep orange beard, is of nice form, 
has well-branched stems 30 inches high. 
This is deeper in color than Golden Hind 
and is the deepest yellow I have ever 
seen.” Another from New York says: “I 
still think Golden Majesty is the best 
yellow.” A vigorous grower, free bloomer, 
and rapid increaser. Does not fade. Mid- 
season. 42” |. cee. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935). A seedling 
from the famous William Mohr, with al- 
most the same coloring but on tall 
branching stems. A beautiful soft violet, 
heavily veined deeper violet. Standards 
and falls are of the same general color 
except that the upper part of the falls has 
cream ground, heavily veined violet. Has 
been rated high by several judges. Early

HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934).This breath- 
taking, big, soft yellow is one of the most 
popular of all iris. The blooms are simply 
immense and yet not the least bit coarse. 
Perfectly branched, with each stalk 
carrying seven or eight blooms. We have 
received many letters in praise of Happy 
Days. They are all similar in tone: “This 
flower marks one of the greatest steps in 
iris achievement.” “It was more admired 
than any variety in my garden.” “It was 
by far the proudest in the garden, a pure 
yellow.” Good grower and free bloomer.
