DEEP VELVET 
INDIAN CHIEF. Without a peer among the 
medium tall red-bronzes, and blooms 
earlier than most when good “red’’ iris 
are scarce. Bronzy violet standards with 
falls of dahlia carmine. Excellent indoors, 
as it shows up unusually well under arti- 
ficial light. A good doer everywhere, and 
should be in every garden. Early. 32”.

INDIAN LOVE CALL (Salbach 1938). A 
very rich new iris of the Ukiah type, hav- 
ing leathery substance. Color very dark 
brown. Branching ideal. A Dauntless x 
Modoc seedling that gets its habit from 
the former, its rich darkness from the 
latter hate: 38/202 a-s eee ie ee siete 50c 
IRMA POLLOCK. A luxurious velvety car- 
mine, slightly lighter at the margins. 
Heavy substance and fine flaring form. 
Free bloomer. Fine garden effect. Mid- 
season: 807435 he ee eres 25c; 3 for 60c 
JASMANIA (Ayers). A big yellow that 
seems to thrive especially well in the 
Eastern and Middle-western states. The 
color is soft and luminous. Well branched, 
hardy. Mid-season. 40”...50c; 3 for $1.25

JEAN CAYEUX. Beautiful blending of Ha- 
vana or coffee brown, with golden glint. 
Very rich, and still unsurpassed in its 
class. Considered one of the finest iris 
ever imported from France, including 
among its many laurels the W. R. Dykes 
medal. Mid-season. 34”... .35¢; 3 for $1.00 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland). Best described 
as a “blended red.” Standards yellow, suf- 
fused bronze, with falls velvety maroon. 
Yellow beard. A striking iris, very effec- 
tive in the garden. Ideal form, and re- 
mains in bloom for a long period of time. 
Runner-up for the 1938 Dykes Medal, 
and in our opinion, it is a more deserving 
iris than the winning variety. We feel 
that Junaluska is easily the best of many 
fine Kirkland productions, and rank it as 
one of the very finest iris grown. Lasts 
well when cut. Mid-season. 38” 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
KALINGA (Kleinsorge). A giant cream 
that adds a real accent to any garden. 
Carries as many as 12 to 15 flowers to a 
stem. H. M., A. I. S., 1936.

KING MIDAS. One of the few good low- 
growing iris. Fine form, rich color and 
hardy. The standards are golden buff, 
falls iridescent garnet, lighted by a golden 
orange beard. Early mid-season. 24”. 
25e; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00 
KING TUT. One of the very brightest of 
the “red” iris on the market, producing 
this effect by its golden standards and 
beard, and its bright Hessian brown falls.

LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936). A “fine, 
glowing iris, given its name because the 
whole center of the flower lights up as 
if there were an electric light bulb hidden 
in the center. Standards old rose, falls a 
shade of coppery red. Blooms large and 
of heavy texture—fine branching habits. 
Described by one of the A. I. S. judges as 
“A real stand-out as a beacon light in 
the garden.” Hardy and a good vigorous 
grower. Late. 36”..:..... $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell). Intro- 
duced some years ago but still one of the 
best white plicatas. Large white blooms 
of fine form and good substance, faintly 
edged blue with blue style arms. Tall and 
widely branched. Hardy and vigorous.

LUCERNE (Salbach 1940). (Shining Waters 
x Brunhilde.) We have many splendid 
blues growing in our fields, but none have 
attracted the attention of visitors as has 
Lucerne. 
An iris of ideal growing habits. Large 
blooms of a clear deep blue, almost a 
self, with standards slightly lighter in 
color than the flaring falls. The blooms 
are of heavy substance, beautifully poised 
on tall, well-branched stalks. One of the 
finest blues. Mid-season. 36”........ $2.50 
MABEL TAFT. Bi-color blue. One of the 
largest of all iris. Very bold form, and a 
truly showy iris. Mid-season. 48”.

MARY E. NICHOLLS 
MARQUITA (Cayeux). One of the finest 
French varieties ever produced. Described 
by one of the A. I. S. judges as “One of the 
most unique of all. America should give 
it its highest award.” The largest of the 
variegata type. Standards are very large 
and are a clear creamy yellow, with falls 
of cream, heavily lined and overlaid rose- 
pink. Very distinct. A. M., A. I. S., 1936.

MATTERHORN (Jacob Sass). A new white 
that has been the subject of much praise. 
One of the best authorities in America 
says: “Close to the top of the white class. 
A very fine and very clear white flower 
of good form.” It is a large flower with a 
cream beard on the flaring falls. Low 
branching stalks, with 9 to 10 blooms 
each. Very pure. A superb white. Mid-

MATULA (H. P. Sass). A very beautiful 
blend that is extremely difficult to de- 
scribe. One of the best American authori- 
ties says: “A magnificent pink blend as 
seen at Sass’ and elsewhere.” A prominent 
growers says: “A warm rosy tan and gay 
cast of blended apricot rose.’’ We describe 
it as a pink and apricot blend, but more 
on the pink. Late mid-season. 30”. ..$5.00 
MELDORIC. Flowers of blue-black, and 
very large. Gold beard. Good habit and 
branching. Hardy everywhere. H. M., A. 
I. S., 1931. Mid-season. 30”. .25c¢; 3 for 60c¢ 
MIDWEST GEM (Hans Sass 1937). The 
description of G. L. Pilkington, president 
of The Iris Society of England, is so ac- 
curate that we give it in full: “This is a 
superb iris and apparently a very vigorous 
grower. The flowers are very large and of 
rounded form with slightly crinkled 
edges, but the stem is little branched. It 
is a soft yellow and pink blend. Stand- 
ards pale yellow with pink flush, falls light 
violet with a heavy gold flush beginning 
at the haft and paling toward the top of 
the falls, beard deep yellow.” In our opin- 
ion this is one of Mr. Sass’ finest origi- 
nations. Also a fine seed parent. Certain 
to become very popular. Midseason. 36”.

MIRASOL (Mitchell). Not large but a clear 
rich yellow that thrives in all climates.

MiSS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937). At 
last a beautiful and entirely distinct iris 
in the orchid-pink shades. Produced from 
a cross definitely planned for pinks, Miss 
California was easily the choice from 
among a number of pink-toned seedlings. 
Blooms are large, carried on tall stems 
that are not especially low branched, but 
the blooms are not crowded. Very vigor- 
ous grower, rapid increaser and perfectly 
hardy. Much admired by our many visi- 
tors and invariably referred to as “that 
orchid pink.” Early. 48”. .$1.00; 3 for $2.50
