TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937) ML. 36”. 
A meritorious new yellow of considerable depth and vivid- 
ness. The medium large flowers are borne on strong stems 
moderately branched. 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) EM. 40”. 
A rich blue blend of electrifying blue punctuated and 
edged iridescent old gold with a strong orange beard. It 
reminds us of an old iris we have always liked, Ramona, 
though it is a vast glorification of this old iris Clear col- 
ored, tall, large; a charming and very worthy blue blend. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
VALOR (Nicholls 1932) ML. 42”. 
The tallest of the deep blue-violets and an iris with splen- 
did branching. In color it leans a bit toward the purples, 
especially in the falls which might be described as indigo- 
purple. An iris of character and distinction. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
VEDETTE (Cayeux 1936) L. 36”. 
A cascade of sparkling iridescence, a self somewhat the 
color of Far West but well formed with a crispy, crinkly 
effect. In color it is a pure honey-yellow to chamois. On 
the edges of the falls there is the most startling gold iri- 
descence, unlike any other we have ever seen for brilliance. 
It reminds one of the sparkle of fool’s gold (iron pyrites). 
The sheen is positively mirror-like. $2.00 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirkland 1931) M. 39”. 
While there are many fine blue iris and several excellent 
pinks of recent origin, there are, curiously, very few va- 
rieties in the intermediate shades of lavender or mauve 
(excepting of course the mauve and yellow blends). In 
fact, practically the only outstanding lavender that is a 
pure self-color is Violet Crown. It is really a deep tone of 
lilac with a rich, glistening texture. We recommend this 
iris very strongly not only for its beauty and distinctive- 
ness but also for its fine height and branching and its free- 
blooming habits. 25643 101 50C 
VISION (Cayeux 1932) M. 37”. 
One of the top-notchers in the variegata section, where 
it ranks with El Tovar and King Juba. It has honey-yellow 
standards and garnet-brown falls, with a bright beard. 
Plant habits, stem, and stature are all good. 35c 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36”. 
Fresh toned as any orchid is this new amoena with snowy 
white standards and ultramarine falls with brighter margin- 
ing. The best of the true amoenas and destined for a great 
future. $1.50 
WASATCH (Thorup 1935) EM. 34”. 
Probably the largest plicata. A very broad-petaled white 
flower with even markings of medium blue. Substance is 
excellent. 25c 
WAVERLY (Williams 1936) M. 34”. 
Captivating, flaring light blue, almost true blue. Domed 
standards and flaring falls held parallel with the ground. 
A chicory-blue it seems one of the clearest and purest blues 
in the garden. Excellently substanced with a slight, casual 
ruffling and crystaline sheen touching up the flower Bo Gin

WEST POINT (Nicholls 1938) L. 44”. 
With a fine military bearing the composure of this flower 
is unique. About the finest new iris to come to us from 
Col. Nicholls; a large, refined indigo blue, just a slight 
bicolor with a rich brown shading at the hafts like epaulets. 
Its color is striking and novel. The wide, trim semi-circular 
formed blooms have a well tailored appearance. Substance 
is firm; blooming very late and being long blooming it im- 
presses us as one of the finest new creations. Very large, 
refined blooms. $8.00 
WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith 1936) M. 38”. 
This nicely formed white has domed standards with falls 
arched and flaring. Yellow beard and white style arms. 
The large flowers are glistening white and are borne on tall, 
sturdy stalks. A fine new white from New England look- 
ing cool and classical as marble. $2.00 
WHITE VALOR (Nicholls 1938) M. 40”. 
Distinct among the whites because of its flaring form. 
Domed standards, stiff, almost horizontal flaring falls. A 
beautiful, large, pure white with a light beard and an un- 
marked haft making it a very true self. Widely branched 
tall stalks, firm-substanced, broad-formed flowers. $1.00 
WILD FIRE (Nicholls 1938) EM. 38”. 
Small flowers but exceedingly bright. A rapid growing 
uniform red with a brown undercast. Satiny texture with 
a fiery glow. For massing where profusion of bloom and 
brilliancy of coloring is wanted this iris fills the bill.
