Edward Lapham (Lapham 1942) ML. 36”. 
A topnotch new red. The reddest iris in existence, unbelievably pure toned. It is different from other 
reds in that it is self colored giving a uniformity of coloring. Most reds are bicolor in varying degrees. 
The coloring is a rich, glossy, uniform crimson. The blooms are trimly tailored, smoothly colored 
red with a very clean haft devoid of any reticulation. This gives a dramatic finished look to this fine red. 
Rated by outstanding iris authorities as the reddest iris from this originator who specializes in production 
of fine reds such as Christabel, Red Gleam and Wakarusa. Edward Lapham is distinctly different from any of 
these. Branched stems neither too tall nor too short. Price, each $20.00 
Hoosier Sunrise (Lapham 1942) M. 40”. 
This is one of the finest of Mr. Lapham’s big pinks. A very large and beautiful bloom of excellent 
substance with broad standards and falls. A fine shade of pink in the falls with pink tinted buff standards. 
A warm, or yellow pink it has strong stalks, flaring falls. 
Hoosier Sunrise received much enthusiastic comment from well known judges of the American Iris 
Society when viewed blooming in Mr. Lapham’s garden last Spring. You will like this pink. It has color, 
size and fine, sturdy plant habit. Price, each $15.00 
Red Amber (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Broad formed flower of the size and finish of Depute Nomblot done in medium rose tones. Red Amber 
is a striking iris because it is the first of the deeper colored rose pinks having an undercast of copper rather 
than purple. Standards Jasper pink with flushing of amaranth pink. Falls a blending of old rose to Eugenia 
red with softest copper infusion lighting up the flower. 
Good sized blooms on tall, very well branched stems. The flower is well substanced and the falls 
have graceful styling, semi-flaring. Very well substanced bloom. A most harmonious iris that has to be 
seen to be appreciated. (Photograph on pape 3.) Price, each $15.00 
Regeney Rose (Stephenson 1942) ML. 36”. 
Interesting, effective pinkish-rose of especially fine carrying quality in the garden. In depth of color 
it places between light pinks as China Maid and the deeper toned varieties as Lighthouse. A self, a pleasing 
tone of amaranth to deep rose pink with a slight fawn undercast. For such a delicate color the flower 1s 
very heavily substanced, leather-like. Medium large flowers, average branching and height. 
The originator of this iris has propagated a generous supply and is anxious to have the stock widely 
disseminated throughout the gardens of the flower loving public. We will include a root with every order 
of $10.00 if you ask for it at the time you send in your order. Please help us by observing this condition 
as it is the only time we can honor this offer. A very fine iris. Price, each $1.00 
Elmohr (Loomis 1942) M. 34”. 
The newest hybrid of Wm. Mohr and the last word in color and distinctiveness in this race of plants. 
An exquisite shade of rich, reddish mulberry incredibly glossy and lustrous; the color seems to smolder 
as if some interior source of light were seeping out of imprisonment. There is an unforgettable distinction 
in Wm. Mobr’s rounded form and unique manner of venation and this is inherited by this flower in a richer 
color pattern. To our taste it is the most attractively colored of Wm. Mobr’s progeny. It is so distinct it 
merits introduction because of its color alone. Its derivation makes it all the more significant. Hybridizers 
will be interested to know it sets seed. 
Medium large blooms on moderately tall stems, branched. Its foliage is clean and unmarred, a rich 
shade of pure green. A healthy, vigorous plant that grows as easily as the regular garden iris for us. This 
is the first Wm. Mohr hybrid offered the public that was originated this side of the Rockies. 
Cllustration on page 17.) Price, each $25.00

SUMMER IDYL (Schreiner 1942) EM. 36”. 
No blue iris to our knowledge has the delicate shade of blue 
that this iris possesses. The blooms do not fade. In shade it is 
smooth, unveined porcelain blue lighter than any other blue we 
list but definitely a blue like a delicate tint of a summer sky. 
Not to be confused with blue whites, it is definitely blue. Its 
color is noteworthy. Medium large flower on branched stems. 
$2.50 
VESTAL BEAUTY (Schreiner 1942) L. 38”. 
Absolute pure starch-white except for orange beard. Intro- 
duced for northern gardens, desiring a free flowering tall white 
that is absolutely hardy. It can best be visualized as a broader, 
much freer flowering Mount Washington only this is thoroughly 
hardy. $3.00 
BORIS (Schreiner 1942) ML. 30”. 
A color gem but as so often is the case with a really rich color 
the stem is rather short. For those fanciers who appreciate a rich 
and unusual color this gleaming garnet to claret purple is certain 
to please. Ideal for foreground planting and massing. The color 
is uniform, even the beard is the same shade. Mark it as a 
splendid garden plant. $2.50
