ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937). One of the

very pleasing shade of manganese violet, 
heavily veined cream and dotted deep 
violet. The standards are large and well 
domed, falls semi-flaring, broad and 
round. Substance is very heavy, with-

PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig). A very tall, 
stately iris of palest blue—a shade lighter 
than Shining Waters. By far the best of 
its shade, and will bloom in the East, al- 
though it needs special protection to 
winter well where the climate is severe.

us have been missing.” Mid-season. 42”.

PURISSIMA 


PINK OPAL. Tallest of the lavender pinks, © 
this variety has the technical fault of its 
attractive blooms being a bit close to- 
gether. The color is more on the pink than 
the lavender side. Very effective when 
planted in clumps. Good size blooms. Mid-

PORTLAND (Kleinsorge 1938). We predict 
that this iris will become immensely pop- 
ular when better distributed. Very rich 
in color, perfectly formed blooms, excel- 
lent stems, a good grower and a rapid in- 
creaser. Standards frosty gold, falls coral 
rose, a color combination that does not 
become tiresome. Large blooms of good 
substance, freely produced. Hardy in the 
severest climates. Mid-season. 45”.

PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939). Many 
iris experts consider Prairie Sunset the 
last word in iris. A magnificent iris well 
named for it has a combination of colors 
that remind one of a glowing sunset, a 
blending of pink, apricot and gold, with a 
glow that makes it bright and rich. Here 
is what one of the most competent East- 
ern judges says: “This is the finest color I 
have seen in an iris.” In addition to its 
glorious color, Prairie Sunset possesses all 
the other good qualities to make it a top 
ranking iris. Mid-season. 30”...... $10.00 
PRESIDENT PILKINGTON. A very good 
blend from France. Standards slightly 
smoked buff with gold suffusion, falls soft 
violet. Large, well-formed blooms. Very 
vigorous and free bloomer. Mid-season.

PROF. S. B. MITCHELL (Cayeux). A 
French variety named for Sydney B. 
Mitchell, one of America’s most noted 
hybridists. A large iris of a distinct shade 
of deep red violet, almost claret color. 
Blooms are freely produced on tall well 
branched stems. A vigorous grower and a 
rapid increaser. Mid-season. 30”. 
35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75 
(Mohr-Mitchell). Although 
introduced many years ago, this remark- 
able iris is still the most perfect clear 
white, although it is a little tender where 
the winters are extremely cold. The large, 
clean white blooms are beautifully poised 
on tall, well-branched stems. An ideal iris 
for mild climate and can be successfully 
grown in cold climate if given some 
winter protection. Early. 50”. 
35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936). Richly colored 
and strikingly brilliant, this sensational 
iris always commands the immediate at- 
tention of visitors to our garden. Radiant 
stands alone in its color class, except for 
the new Orange Flame, introduced by us 
in 1940. The standards are of burnished 
orange and the falls a glowing coppery 
red, producing a richness and brilliance 
of color seldom seen in an iris. 
The blooms are of medium size, of fine 
form, and are very freely produced on 
low-branching stems. We have had as 
many as five bloom stalks on a first year 
rhizome. Blooms consistently each fall in 
California. Mid-season. 30”.
