GLEN ELLEN (Connell 1939). M. 38 in. 
A lum:-nous golden tan iris with falls 
smoothly brushed with brown and plum 
tones. It is so well groomed and individual

with acquaintance. It has good size, sub- 
stance and growing habits. H. M. 1989, 
Pere R89) 1940: $5.00 
GOL.DEN COCKEREL (Whiting-Hill 1940) 
M. 38 in. Mr. H. M. Hill chose this large, 
clear yellow self from our seedlings in 
1939. It is closely related to Golden 
Spike, be:ng a seedling from the same 
parents with the cross reversed, making 
Matvula the pod and Happy Days the pol- 
len parent. It is not as dark a yellow 
as Golden Spike but has many of its 
oiwter characteristics. The coloring, a 
medium light yellow, is pure and even, 
with smooth hafts and a deep yellow 
beard. The flowers are large, wide and 
full formed with heavy substance ard 
a lacquered texture. The plants are es- 
pec ally strong and vigorous. $2.50 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) M. 44 
in. This beautiful iris has made many 
friends and an enviable record. Its. large, 
charmingly ruffled flowers are most dis- 
tinctive with their clear lemon yellow 
standards and light, creamy yellow talls 
elged with the lemon yellow cf the 
standards. At the w-de haft the yellow 
edge widens, giving the flower a most 
pleasing personality. The stalks are tail 
and widely branched, the plants are 
strong growing and exceptionally free 
blooming. H. M. 1940, Per. R. 90, 1940.

GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938) M. L. 
42 in. A deep, golden yellow self of large 
size and excellent form. It is tall and 
well branched and an outstanding flower 
in any garden. It is a vigorous grower, 
a free bloomer and fast increaser and 
seems to be quite hardy here. H. M. 
1937, A. M. 1940, Per. R. 90, 1940. $3.00 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36 in. 
This deep golden yellow has proved iis 
value in many gardens. We have been 
much pleased w:th the reports that have 
come in and with the ratings and awards 
it has received. Its clear, pure coloring 
and its vleasing, slightly ruffled ‘torm 
have made it many friends. The wide 
hafts are perfectly smooth and of the 
same deep, warm yellow as the rest of 
the flower, with the heavy orange beard 
ceiving it its only accent. The widely 
rounded standards stand slightly open 
but curled toward each other at the open- 
ing of the bloom, later the ruffled edges 
close but never lap. The substance is 
especially crisp and strong without look- 
ing heavy and the blooms retain their 
distinctive form and pure coloring for 
several days. The stalks are fairly tall 
and very well branched with 9 to 12 buds 
giving it a long season of bloom. The 
plants are perfectly hardy and very vig- 
orous, blooming and increasing freely.

GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 48 in. 
One of the finest light blue irises, very 
clear and pure in color. The flowers are 
large and widely flaring, the stalks tall 
and superbly branched. The plants are 
strong and hardy, having been originated 
in Canada, and bloom and increase well 
here. H. M. 1939, A. M. 1940, Per. R. 91, 
1939. $2.00 
HARRIET FORDYCE (Weisner-Kellogg 
1940) M. 42 in. A fine, large, pale blue 
iris that attracts considerable attention 
in our garden. It is so light that some 
consider it a white with an opalescent 
sheen of silvery blue. It is very large, 
having come from Gudrum, of heavy sub- 
stance, tall and well proportioned. Tke 
plants are strong and vigorous. R. 86, 
1941. $5.00 
INVICTUS (D. Hall 1941) M. 38 in. An 
intense, very deep yellow with an orange 
tene, intensified by the heavy orange 
beard and the strong amber markings 
at the haft. It is very striking in the 
garden because of its depth and richness 
of color. The flowers are large, well 
formed, and carried on strong, widely 
branched stems. The plants are hardy, 
very vigorous in growth and free flow- 
ering. H. M. 1940, Per. R. 88, 1941. $5.00 
JOY (Carpenter 1942) M. 36 in. We saw 
this charming new copper toned iris in 
Nashville last spring and liked its form, 
color and cheerful presence in the Qgar- 
den. Mrs. Nesmith is introducing it this 
year. It is not large but its lovely, rich 
copper-red coloring and its ruffled form 
will make it a ‘joy’ in any garden. $€¢5.00 
KANSAS SUNRISE (Hill 1940) M. 34 in. 
The gold of King Midas and the Egyp- 
tian red of King Tut have been harmoni- 
ously blended in this brilliant iris. It 1s 
a rich and glowing flower of gocd form, 
branching and growth. We recommend it 
to those who want something new and 
very good without paying a high price.
