LAVENDER AND OLD LACE. E; 38’. Lavender-violet. Slightly open 
standards of lavender-violet; slightly ruffled, down-falling falls of 
deeper lavender-violet, displaying amber veining on yellow 
ground at haft; conspicuous orange beard. Slightly fragrant, large 
blossoms on strong, well-branched stalks. 
The outstanding feature of the flower is the extraordinary sub- 
stance of both standard and fall petals. This exceptionally heavy 
substance, coupled with the color, leads every observer to the 
erroneous conclusion that the variety is a hybrid with oncocylus 
ancestry. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
MICHELANGELO. EM; 43”. Dove-gray. Slightly open standards 
and semi-flaring falls of dark vinaceous dove-gray, with brown 
veining on amber ground seen at haft; inconspicuous, short 
orange beard. Slightly fragrant, gigantic flowers on good stalks. 
This variety was given an Honorable Mention award by the 
American Iris Society. It is one of the loveliest of the odd-colored 
sorts now available. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
NATIONAL GIANT. M; 42’. Rose-violet. Closed standards of bronze- 
violet; rounded, down-falling falls of rose-violet, with violet vein- 
ing on conspicuous white ground seen at extreme haft; short, 
light inconspicuous beard. This variety is our only 1942 intro- 
duction; it is the very largest flower we ever have seen—the 
heavy, strong, well-branched stalks bear eight to ten slightly 
fragrant, gigantic blossoms. Petals are of extra-heavy substance 
and flowers last a long period, even in hot sunlight. See accurate 
color reproduction on page 20. 
The flowers are unusually fertile, with almost every pollenized 
blossom producing a huge seed-pod in 1941. We predict that a 
new race of mammoth-flowered iris will be produced with Na- 
tion Giant as the pod or pollen parent. National Giant without 
question is the LARGEST IRIS NOW EXISTING. $20.00 
NOONDAY SKY. EM; 40”. Lavender-blue. Closed standards of 
lavender-blue; semi-flaring falls of lavender-blue, with slight 
amount of maroon veining on white ground at haft; inconspicuous 
light-colored short beard. Substance of petals is excellent and 
flowers are long-lasting. Slightly fragrant, gigantic blossoms 
measuring 6x7", on strong, well-branched stalks. 
It is our honest, candid opinion that Noonday Sky is the largest, 
best-formed, and finest lavender-blue variety now in existence. 
Plants are very free-bloomers and prolific multipliers. 
$5.00; 3 for $12.50 
ORANGE BRONZE, L; 34’. Orange-bronze. Closed standards and 
semi-flaring falls of iridescent orange-bronze, a hue which is most 
unusual, distinctive, and attractive; beard inconspicuous of same 
color. Falls are washed lighter around beard and veined darker 
throughout. Large flowers on good stalks, with plants producing 
very broad, deep green foliage. This variety is much more orange- 
toned than Naranja. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
OREGON SUNSHINE. E; 36’. Light yellow. Slightly ruffled, closed 
standards of light yellow; slightly ruffled, semi-flaring falls of 
light yellow, with deeper green-gold veining seen at haft; aver- 
age appearing, short, gold beard. Petal substance is exception- 
ally good with no flopping of standards or flecking of falls. Slightly 
fragrant, gigantic flowers on extra-good stalks. This variety un- 
questionably is the finest light yellow now available. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.50 
PEARL LUSTRE. ML; 38”. Cream-white. Closed standards of white; 
down-falling falls of white, tinged blue, and veined yellow at 
haft; average appearing gold beard. A planting makes a most 
appealing mass group—showing up as light cream. Plants do 
not throw up representative bloom-stalks until the second season. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
PINK IMPERIAL. See accurately colored reproduction and descrip- 
tion on.page 4. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PORCELAIN BEAUTY. M; 31’. Cream-white. Closed standards of 
cream-white; down-falling falls of cream-white, with much gold 
veining at haft; conspicuous orange beard. Gigantic flowers on 
rather short stalks. Petals are the delightful shade of old porce- 
lain. This variety is the very best of the low-growing warm whites 
so greatly needed in front of the border. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PRINCE AMBA. L; 48”. Yellow. Closed standards of pure medium 
yellow; down-falling falls of yellow, delicately veined dark rose 
throughout and heavily veined at haft; average appearing gold 
beard. Large flowers on extra-good stalks. It is unusually late 
to bloom, a factor adding to the variety’s desirability. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ROSE-BRONZE BLEND. VL; 45’. Rose-bronze. Closed standards of 
bronze-brown, flushed rose; down-falling falls of rose,.flushed 
blue at center and edged bronze-brown; red-brown veining on 
lighter ground seen at haft; average appearing, broad, burnt 
orange beard. Slightly fragrant, large blossoms on upright, well- 
branched stalks. This variety comes into bloom toward the ex- 
treme end of the bearded iris flowering season. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
TAN DELIGHT. M; 40’. Buff-tan-violet blend. Closed standards of 
light buff-bronze; down-falling falls of buff-bronze, washed laven- 
der toward center and prominently veined at haft; conspicuous 
bright orange beard. Slightly fragrant, gigantic flowers on extra- 
good stalks. Petal substance exceptionally good. Tan Delight is 
the outstanding buff-bronze iris on the market. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
VEINED BEAUTY. EM; 34’. Plicata. Closed standards of white, 
heavily veined and washed deep violet; slightly crinkled, down- 
falling falls of white, with the outer half inch at edge dotted and 
veined violet; inconspicuous light orange beard. 
This new origination is the heaviest lined and veined violet 
plicata we have seen. The strongly fragrant flowers are of 
medium size, but each of the well-branched stalks bear seven or 
more distinctive blossoms. An unusual oddity. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
WHITE PERFECTON. EM; 34”. White. Slightly open standards of 
white; semi-flaring falls of white, with yellow veining at hatft; 
average appearing orange beard. Petals have very thick sub- 
stance. Eight or more, slightly fragrant, gigantic flowers on good 
stalks. $10.00; 3 for $25.00
