PINK JEWEL (Salbach). Each year we 
have sold low on this iris, in fact last year 
we withdrew it to increase stock. Not a 
large iris, but one with a good form and 
an appealing color. A very delicate lilac 
pink, with standards somewhat lighter 
than the falls. Only a limited amount of 
stock available. Rhizomes are not large.

PINK OPAL. Tallest of the lavender pinks. 
Individually, this variety is technically 
at fault in that its attractive blooms tend 
to bunch near the top of the stalk. Actu- 
; ally, this is a distinct asset, as far as 
a clump plantings are concerned, as it pre- 
: sents a solid mass of color. Lavender- 
pink, not as deep as that of Dogrose, but 
its color is on a par with others of this 
3 type..Blooms large. Mid-season. 48”.

hy PINK SATIN. Probably the most refined of 
all the pink-toned iris. Aptly named for 
the smooth satiny texture. A suave, 
slender iris on tall stalks, well-branched 
stems. A different type of iris than Pink 
Jewel, just as attractive in its own fash- 
ion. A most entrancing iris. H. M., A.I.S.,

PIUTE (Thomas-Thorup). For those who 
do not demand the huge giants, Piute is 
definitely one of the finest reds grown. 
Of medium size, it is characterized by its 
most distinct coloring—not as deep, but 
richer than Ouray. Bordeaux red to violet- 
carmine, with standards slightly lighter. 
Orange beard. Very heavy of texture, and 
smooth of finish. Mid-season. 36”, 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ite PLURABELLE (Cayeux). Distinct and ef- 
| fective, one of the finest new French 
irises, with slender, graceful stalks. A 
most enchanting iris whose exquisite color 
tones are hard to describe. Standards of 
golden yellow, and falls a blending of gold 
and pinkish mauve. Late. 38”, 
50; 3 for $1.25 
PORTLAND (Kleinsorge 1938). We predict 
that this iris will become immensely pop- 
ular when better distributed. Very rich 
in color, perfectly formed blooms, excel- 
lent stems, a good grower and a rapid in- 
creaser. Standards frosty gold, falls coral 
rose, a color combination that does not 
become tiresome. Large blooms of good 
substance, freely produced. Eardy in the 
severest climates. Mid-season. 45”. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.00 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939). Many 
iris experts consider Prairie Sunset the 
last word in iris. We purchased one rhi- 
zome in 1938 for $100.00 and now have a 
few plants to offer our customers. A mag- 
nificent iris well named for it has a com- 
bination of colors that remind one of a 
glowing sunset, a blending of pink, apri- 
cot and gold, with a glow that makes it 
bright and rich. Here is what one of the 
most competent Eastern judges says: 
“This is the finest color I have seen in an 
iris.’ In addition to its glorious color, 
Prairie Sunset possesses all the other 
good qualities to make it a top ranking 
iris. Mid-season..30”............5. $12.50

NARADA 
PROF. S. B. MITCHELL (Cayeux). A 
French variety named for Sydney B. 
Mitchell, one of America’s most noted 
hybridists. A large iris of a distinct shade 
of deep red violet, almost claret color. 
Blooms are freely produced on tall well 
branched stems. A vigorous grower and a 
rapid increaser. Mid-season. 30”. 
35¢e; 3 for $1.00 
PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell). Although 
introduced many years ago, this remark- 
able iris is still the most perfect clear 
white, although it is a little tender where 
the winters are extremely cold. The large, 
clean white blooms are beautifully poised 
on tall, well-branched stems. An ideal iris 
for mild climate and can be successfully 
grown in cold climate if given some 
winter protection. Early. 50”.

RADIANT (Salbach 1936). Richly colored 
and strikingly brilliant, this sensational 
iris always commands the immediate at- 
tention of visitors to our garden. Radiant 
stands alone in its color class, except for 
the new Orange Flame, introduced by us 
in 1940. The standards are of burnished 
orange and the falls a glowing coppery 
red, producing a richness and brilliance 
of color seldom seen in an iris. 
The blooms are of medium size, of fine 
form, and are very freely produced on 
low-branching stems. We have had as 
many as five bloom stalks on a first year 
rhizome. Blooms consistently each fall in 
California. Mid-season. 30”. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
RAMESES. One of the few iris to win the 
coveted American Dykes Medal Award. 
Good sized blooms on medium-tall but 
well-branched stalks. Outstanding be- 
cause of its striking blend of colors. Rich 
gold, and pale pink are most artistically 
blended in this flower to give an iris of 
majestic elegance. Mid-season. 30”.

LUCERNE 

MARQUITA 
RED DOMINION. A beautiful clear, deep 
ox-blood red. Standards violet-red, falls 
rich velvety purple-red, nearly black. One 
of the most popular iris grown. Large 
flowers with fine velvety finish. Buds 
open like rosebuds. H. M., A. I. S., 1931.
