Mr. Williams have been propagating since the Chancellor's 
death. This work will be continued both at Little Rock and 
Nashville but ALL ORDERS SHOULD BE SENT TO US at Little 
Rock. 
BROWN THRASHER. This is the striking new golden brown flower 
which Dr. Kirkland pronounced the finest iris he had ever developed. 
{t is a bicolor in two shades of pure brown, the falls being several 
shades darker than the standards and very velvety. The coloring 
suggested the name, being just the sue tone of sunlight on a 
brown thrasher’s wing. 
All available stock for this season is sold. 
KLONDYKE GOLD. An enormous flower of pure, even, deep yellow. 
Standards upright, slightly domed. Falls very wide and semi-flaring. 
The substance is very heavy, each bloom lasting several days without 
fading. In our garden last year each bloom measured 22 inches in 
circumference. The growth and branching are fine. $25.00 
REDDENGOLD. This is best described as a large, tall yellow-copper 
bicolor. The standards are pure golden yellow and the falls a solid 
color of bright brown-red, overlaid with golden yellow. A fine 
grower with excellent branching. $25.00 
RISING SUN. This iris was registered several years ago but Dr. Kirk- 
land lost almost the entire stock. The supply still is very limited. It 
is an immense deep rosy pink bicolor. Very tall and well-branched. 
Some judges have called it the finest deep pink they ever saw. $35.00 
ROBINWOOD. This created quite a furore in our garden last season. It 
is a large, tall, perfectly formed red-brown bicolor. The standards 
are clear, deep, golden brown; the falls are very bright red, slightly 
suffused with brown. Again, as with Brown Thrasher, a favorite 
songbird suggested the name. $35.00 
TOP SERGEANT. Another brilliant red-brown, almost a self, which 
drew visitors from the far side of the garden last year by its height 
and outstanding color. Falls are a little deeper in tone and very 
velvety. Exceptionally heavy substance. $35.00
