GLAMOROUS NIGHT (Wiesner-Nesm:th 
1940) V. L. 40 in. A splendid addition to 
the late flowering group which is so valu- 
able for lengthening our season. The large, 
firm flowers are of deep mulberry, rich 
and velvety, flushed at the center with 
tobacco brown. The gold and brown 
styles and rich yellow beard light up the 
flower and enrich its beauty. It is worth 
waiting for. The plant growth and branch- 
ing are very good, the fragrance is of 
heady wine. Not yet rated. $6.00 
GLEN-ELLEN (Connell-Williams 1939) M. 
38 in. A novel and most interesting new 
iris of luminous golden tan with a heavy 
overlay of bronzy gold and plum on the 
falis. Mr. Pilkington of the Iris Society 
of England called it one of the outstand- 
ing introductions seen on his visit to 
America. It has a sleek and smartly tai- 
lored air due to its exceptionally heavy 
substance, excellent form and clean mark- 
ings. It is an iris that grows on one—an 
iris of distinct personality. H. M. 1939, 
Per. R. 89, 1940. $10.00 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) M. L. 42 in. One 
of the very loveliest of all light blue irises 
old or new. When well grown it is a 
standout in any garden. The flowers are 
very large, of classic form and of a cold, 
pale blue sparkling with frost crystals. 
The tall, widely branched stalks carry the 
huge flowers proudly—it is a winner on 
every count. The plants are strong and 
prolific, blooming freely when well estab- 
lished. H. M. 1933, A. M. 1935, Per R. 87,

GOLDEN AGE (J. Sass 1939) M. L. 42 in. 
A very fine, large yellow self in medium 
dark color range—about light cadmium. 
It is a splendid garden or show specimen, 
tall, well branched and a vigorous grower. 
It blooms rather late so has been missed 
by some of the judges but it is highly 
appreciated by those who have seen it at 
its best. R. 88, 1940. $4.00 
GOLDEN COCKEREL (Whiting-Hill 
1940) M. 38 .n. This large, clear yellow 
iris was chosen by Mr. H. M. Hill from 
among our seedlings in 1939. It is a Sis- 
ter seedling of Golden Spike and while 
not as deep a yellow it has purity of color 
and excellence of form and carriage. The 
substance is very heavy and the texture 
smooth as taffeta. The wide hafts are 
unmarred by veining—the entire flower 
is a perfect self a Lttle warmer than em- 
pire yellow. The beard is unusually 
heavy and thick and of a deeper yellow 
color. Not yet rated. $5.00

GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1956) 
M. 388 in. St.ll a great favorite with us is 
tuis lovely creamy yellow with a heart of 
gold. A beautiful iris, with its clear, har- 
monious coloring, it was the first of the 
two-toned yellows to attract wide atten- 
tion. ‘he smooth yellow haft gives a de- 
ligntful central glow to the flowers. The 
strong, hardy plants grow, bloom and in- 
crease splendidly. H. M. 1936, A. M. 1938,

fragrant. H. M. 1939, A. M. 1940, Per. R.
