New and Unusual Dis 
ACE OF SPADES (Salbach 1941) M. 36”. 
A stately, dark colored iris. Standards clear, lustrous 
mulberry purple, faintly ruffled; falls deep manganese violet. 
A burnished sheen gives a glow to its ebon hues; large 
blooms, vigorous grower. $6.00 
ADVENTURE (Grant 1941) M. 40”. 
A winsome, delicate plicata feathered with sprightly tones 
of crushed raspberry and yellow. The standards are closely 
stippled with the falls more heavily margined at edges of 
petals and alongside the beard. Well formed. $12.00 
ANNA GAGE (Gage 1941) E. 35”. 
This originator has developed a series of unusual blends. 
Here is one of the choicest of the set. A gorgeous Oriental 
blend of tawny olive standards and rich flaring falls of 
garnet brown. Well substanced and velvety texture. 
$8.00 
APHRA (Mitchell-Salbach 1941) M. 48”. 
Melodious pure old-gold self. Symmetrically formed 
flowers of ideal poise and finish. The uniform coloring has 
a marked flush of yellow at the base of the falls. Distinct 
and refined. $6.00 
BROWN THRASHER (Kirkland 1941) M. 30”. 
We have not seen this new vairety which authorities 
have called Dr. Kirkland’s finest iris. It is a soft, even 
blend of bright, smooth rich true brown, like a ray of sun- 
shine on the wing of our favorite brown song bird. The 
color is most sensational and the few plants available last 
season were all purchased before cataloging time. $35.00 
CALIFORNIA PEACH (Salbach 1941) EM. 38”. 
A vivaceous peach-pink and apricot shaded blend. Ample 
sized blooms of elegant form, well placed on tall, widely- 
branched stems. Standards are more delicate and falls 
more intense with shadings of salmon-apricot with just a 
hint of blue in the center of the flower. A provocatively 
appealing flower. $12.50 
CALIFORNIA TREK (White 1941) M. 40”. 
This iris is very well thought of in California where it 
originated. Described as a smooth, bright sulphur-lemon 
color with the broad flaring falls lighter in tone and an 
imperceptible darkening of color in the haft. We await its 
performance in colder parts of the U. S. with interest and 
anticipation. $15.00 
CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook 1941) ML. 38”. 
Luxuriant maroon purple, medium large flowers. Charac- 
teristic of the handiwork of Mr. Cook, this iris has a clean, 
well tailored appearance and lack of haft venation. It is a 
rich, solidly colored self, one of the darkest and richest iris, 
late blooming, well branched; splendid. $12.00 
CAROLINE BURR (Smith 1941) ML. 40”. 
Several breeders have been attempting to get a really 
first class cream. ‘The ideal is delicacy of color combining 
purity as well as depth. This new cream promises to rival 
all comers for top honors. A lovely light ivory self overlaid 
with the palest dash of Chartreuse with a frosty iridescence. 
Large flowers, well proportioned, good substance. $15.00 
CEDAR ROSE (Whiting 1941) M. 36”. 
Round formed, rich red-brown bicolor. The smooth 
glisten of the petals is not dulled by any sombering purple 
cast. It is two-toned in effect, the falls darker due to velvety 
quality but of the same color range. Medium height and 
branched stalks. $15.00 
CHRYSOLITE (Milliken 1941) EM. 40”. 
This is Southern California’s entry in the clear light 
cream class. Heavily substanced, sparkling light cream 
with a beard of deep orange. Semi-flaring, broad petalled 
flowers very well branched, free bloomer. One of the three 
candidates for the honor of the top flight cream. $7.50 
COPPER PINK (Kellogg 1941) M. 38”. 
Refreshing as a rosy-cheeked child, this iris is a descendant 
of Rosy Wings. A most pleasing soft pink with a flush of 
sparkling copper. Charming rounded flowers, precise flar- 
ing falls. The copper pink shadings have an aurora-like 
throat glow of gold giving a pleasing, harmonious contrast. 
Medium to large flowers, branched stems. $20.00 
COPPERBROSEME, Gook 194) Mass 
Shimmering rose-copper, tinsel-like with its golden terra 
cotta glitter from an afterglow-like blending of old rose, 
tan and copper. Different from other like shaded iris it is 
sprightly, a slight bicolor due to velvety falls. Well shaped 
flowers, nicely substanced. Medium large, well branched, 
floriferous, sturdy grower. A very praiseworthy iris. $15.00 
CORITICA (H. Sass 1942) M. 34”. 
Fresh colored development of the yellow plicatas. Prob- 
ably the neatest lightly-marked plicata of this color pat- 
tern, contrasting with other varieties that are more heavily 
marked. As trim and piquant as a school girl in a polka 
dot dress. $25.00 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 38”. 
A gay, percolating large golden pink with an animated 
copper undertone. Flowers have a delightful informal air, 
well branched and fine height to the stem. Colored as the 
first blush of morn. Very pretty. $7.50 
FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass 1941) EM. 34”. 
Singular in color — like the foam on a strawberry soda 
touched with swirls of strawberry red; a significant deflec- 
tion in coloring. The flower size and poise could be improved 
but its merit is its color which is extraordinary. $25.00 
FORT KNOX (Milliken 1941) M. 38”. 
About the deepest colored of the set of yellows we are 
trying from Southern California. It is a deep, rich yellow 
rated very highly in its home gardens. Large flowers, 
flaring falls, perfectly branched stems. We await its per- 
formance for further judgment. $20.00 
FORTUNE (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 32”. 
Large coppery brown-gold self. Broad formed flowers, 
heavily substanced. Flaring falls add to the distinctive 
svelt lines of a very nice iris. Height moderate, well 
branched. $7.50 
FRECKLES (Becherer 1941) M. 32”. 
A yellow plicata with informal, light chocolate markings 
on a rich cream-yellow background. The small fleckings 
are dextrously and delicately applied giving the flower a 
buoyant charm and a pleasing informality. Reminiscent of 
the old variety King Karl. $7.50 
FROSTY BLUE (Whiting-Kellogg 1941) EM. 38” 
Calm, cool limpid blue. A delicate shade of near cam- 
panula blue. A self with a sprightly, frosty, silvery lustre 
on heavily substanced petals giving a crisp cool effect. 
Very well branched stems. $17.50 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 38”. 
Muted, blended tones of plum and copper combined in a 
warm manner. A deeper than average blend richly attrac-
