FORTUNE (Kleinsorge 1941) M. A most striking iris of large 
size and broadly spreading form. It has been described as a self 
of solid and uniform old gold, but due to the infusion of rusty red 
throughout the flower, to me it gives the effect of rich Florentine 
gold. Heavy substance and good branching. R. 89 1941. 34 in. $7.50 
GILT EDGE (Whiting 1941) M. A two toned yellow that gives 
a dainty and fresh appearance in the garden. The large ruffled 
flowers are clear lemon yellow with the wide hafts smoothly gilded 
with deep empire yellow, and this coloring extends around the 
falls in a distinct border. The stalks are tall and well branched. 
The originator considers this one of her most charming intro- 
ductions. R. 85 1941. 40 in. $5.00 
GLEN-ELLEN (Connell 1939) M. A most interesting iris of 
golden buff with an overlay of bronzy gold and plum on the falls.

tall and well branched. The general effect is a tan toned iris with 
great carrying qualities in the garden, H. M., A. I. S. 1939. R. 
89 1941. 40 in. $5.00 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941.) M. An unusual and 
attractive blend of plum, copper, and gold. It reminds one of the 
French iris Charlotte Millet, but it is deeper and far more colorful 
with the golden hafts of the falls, and yellow beard accentuating 
the richness of the blooms. 40 in. $6.00 
ICY BLUE (Weed 1940) M. A most appealing light blue of 
flaring form and heavy substance. A self of palest blue that seems 
dusted with frosty white that sparkles in the sunlight. The stalks 
are strong and sturdy and well branched. A lovely iris. H. M., 
A. I. S. 1941. R. 88 1941, 38 in. $5.00 
INVICTUS (Hall D. 1941) M. A very deep yellow with a sub- 
dued orange tone. The falls have amber markings on the haft, and 
this with the deep orange beard intensifies the depth and richness of 
the color. The flowers are large of good substance, and are carried 
on very strong and extra well branched stalks. H. M., A. I. S. 
1940. Per R. 88 1941. 38 in, $5.00

blue. Almost a self with standards just a bit lighter in color than 
the flaring falls. The blooms are of heavy substance, beautifully 
poised on tall well branched stalks. A very popular iris and the 
color has been described by one iris fancier as “Lucerne is the blue 
of the Gulf Stream’. R. 89 1941. 36 in. $1.50 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck 1938) M. L. . A very famous deep 
yellow iris and one of the largest flowered in this group. It is a

on the hafts and in the throat. This iris is a great favorite with 
Mr. Henry Sass and is highly praised by all that have seen it.

NARADA (Brehm 1939) L, One of the largest blue iris, but not 
at all coarse. It is of fine form and beautiful poise with the 
standards a shade lighter than the broad flaring falls. A real stand 
out in the blues. R. 87 1941. 40 in. $5.00

high, the very well formed blooms give a delightful effect in the 
garden, 40 in. $2.50 
PINK MARVEL (Lapham 1941) M. This iris has been described 
as a “glorified Eros”, and that gives a good idea of the color. It is 
a self of a bit deeper and pinker color than Eros with large well 
proportioned flowers of excellent substance. The stalks are tall, 
well branched and sturdy. A delightful deep pink that increases 
rapidly and is an abundant pollen parent as well as a heavy seed 
producer. A very worthwhile iris. R. 86 1940. 39 in. $8.00 
PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge 1940) M. This iris is the 
deepest orange yellow that I have seen, and is most effective in 
the garden. The flaring flowers are of medium size, but very rich 
and brilliant, and are well spaced along the branching stalk. Much 
more clear in color than Naranja, and attrects a great deal of at- 
tention in the garden. R. 88 1941. 38 in. $4.00

originator as one of the most lovely in her garden. A striking

chrome yellow. The falls are wide and long, of cream yellow ,dis-

STARDOM (Hall D. 1941) M. An excellent name for a fine iris.

buff with just enough yellow in the mixture to bring out the glow- 
ing life and beauty of the flower.. The blooms have good substance
