tive with a slight ruffling. An iris to be particularly appre- 
ciated in a closeup spot in the garden or ideal for indoor 
appreciation when its subtle overtones are more minutely 
appraised. $6.00 
ICY BLUE (Weed 1941) E. 44”, 
A trim and neat, yet very large, light blue with a frosty 
lustre. A very light tone of blue extraordinary in that it 
does not fade; the substance and texture suggest Gloriole. 
Singular flaring form and a beard that to all purposes is 
masqued give an extremely uniform coloring. $5.00 
LADY NAOMI (Fay 1941) M. 38”. 
We welcome this lovely, winsome lady. This dainty type 
of coloration is peculiar to iris alone and previously has 
been restricted to similar-patterned varieties. Lady Naomi 
is a departure in this respect. It is a lovely sanded soft 
pale lavender with a network of violet lines in the falls so 
minute that the groundwork seems to disappear. Stalwart 
upright flowers, sturdy, well branched stems. $15.00 
LATE SUN (DeForest 1940) ML. 42”. 
Here is not just another yellow but one of the finest iris 
in its color range. The flowers are very well substanced, 
large (6 inch) flowers a shade of clear, rich deep yellow that 
does not color or mar irrespective of weather conditions. 
It blossomed the first time for us last year. If it continues 
its splendid performance it probably will rate as one of the 
best of its class. Well recommended. $5.00 
LORI MAY (DeForest 1941) ML. 30”. 
A harmonious daphne pink very lightly shaded rose; pert 
and flippant. Clear colors, starch-like substanced blooms, 
a bright new color note. Good sized blooms, stem could 
be better branched; in color getting very close to true pink. 
$10.00 
MAJENICA (P. Cook 1941) EM. 36”. 
An exciting salmon tinted pink blend, wide petalled 
flowers. A clear, bright, smoothly colored self with very 
stiff, lasting substance. A refreshing color bringing the 
salmon tones of Eros into a larger and broader petalled 
flower of substance. Branched stems. $12.00 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) M. 36”. 
A massive white plicata with broad purplish border re- 
calling old Beau Ideal. Slightly ruffled with domed stand- 
ards and flaring falls. Low and widely branched stems. 
$10.00 
MIRABELLE (Whiting 1941) ML. 38”. 
Alluring cream-apricot and pink tones combined in a 
most delectable manner. For such a delicately fresh color 
the flower substance is extra fine. We usually associate 
delicate colors with delicate substance; such is not the case 
with Mirabelle. It is extra well substanced. Oval formed, 
large, full proportioned blooms. Stems and branching leave 
little to be desired. $20.00 
MOUNTAIN SKY (Milliken 1941) M. 38”. 
Upstanding blue that has highlighting from a suffusion 
of yellow in the center of the flower. A fine formed light 
blue flower. Has an informal wavy appearance, a lavish 
producer of many blooms. $7.50 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) M. 40”. 
Every hybridizer strives to secure an iris unlike any va- 
riety already in commerce, a really distinct variation. Such 
an iris is Mulberry Rose. A delectable, lovely, mulberry 
rose . . . an unusual color in the deep pink class. Its 
intrinsic value is its novel color, striking in the garden and 
unusual because of its singular color. Size is large, stem 
tall and branched displaying the beauty of the flower to 
fine advantage. We consider it one of the finest iris we have 
offered. (Pictured on page 106.) $15.00 
PERSIAN PRINCE UH. Sass 1941) L. 38”. 
The newest addition to our variegata group. A large 
bright colored variegata, flaring falls of rich solid brown 
without appreciable veining or margining. Clear colored 
standards of pure yellow. Branching good for a variegata. 
Another iris for northern climes. $10.00 
PLATINUM BEAUTY (Schreiner 1941) L. 36”. 
Entrancing, delicate pastel blend of unusual size and 
heavy texture. A lovely combination of lilac pink with 
softest blendings of lemon yellow especially concentrated 
toward the heart of the flower. Throughout the flower a 
sprakling, silvery sheen mingles with gold giving the flower 
the effect of being sprinkled with star dust. Well branched, 
sturdy stems. $1.00 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) M. 36”. 
Considered by the originator of Jnspiration to be her 
finest seedling surpassing even Inspiration, itself a remark- 
able iris. Deeper in color it inherits the essential carmine 
rose of Inspiration. A lustrous dark carmine self enriched 
by a bright gold beard. Large flowers of faultless form, 
substance and carriage. $15.00 
RISING SUN (Kirkland 1941) M. 34”. 
Radiant, handsome deep pink bicolor, fresh and attrac- 
tive. The tone gives a bright, fresh color effect. Form and 
growth habits are the best with heavily substanced blooms 
carried on tall, widely branched stems $20.00 
SALMON SPLENDOR (Lapham 1941) EM. 30”. 
A prolific flowering variety ideal for massing or garden 
groupings. As pleasing in the garden as Noweta, Salmon 
Splendor has all the charm and freshness of Noweta in tones 
of salmon with just a pink underglow. Possesses tremendous 
color appeal. $5.00 
SEA BLUE (Whiting 1941) M. 36”, 
Pure rich blue approximately medium deep, a descendent 
of that fine iris Missouri. It is lighter blue than Missouri 
but with the splendid taffeta-like texture and substance of 
its illustrous parent. Good sized blooms, hardy and pro- 
lific both in flowering and increase. $10.00 
SILVER TWILIGHT (Schreiner 1941) EM. 34”. 
Frosty silver-lilac with a subtle flush of pale, nymph-like 
pink. A light fluting gives the blooms an airy carriage. A 
delicate shade withstanding hot weather surprisingly well. 
(Illustration on page 10.) $10.00 
SPRING SECRETARY (White 1941) M. 38”. 
A sleek intermingling of chamois and tinted lilac. The 
ground color is old gold shaded lilac with a tawny cast in 
the hafts tinged brown. A very lovely smooth flower of 
clean pure colors. Firm rounded petals well carried on tall 
stems. $15.00 
STARDOM (D. Hall 1941) M. 34”. 
Delectable, pleasing warm apricot-pink with the pink 
glowing underneath. Size is a little over medium large, fair 
to good substance, no markings on the haft, moderate 
branching. Vigorous, hardy, rapid grower; one of Mr. 
Hall’s finest blends. $5.00 
SUNDAY BEST (Grant 1941) ML. 36”. 
Well formed, heavily textured, large ivory self. The 
flower is very broad petalled with semi-flaring falls. A bright 
orange beard caps this fine bloom. A fine garden subject 
with very great weather resistance. $7.50 
SUN SPOT (Grant 1941) ML. 36”. 
Brilliant yellow, tall and well branched. It is of interest 
because the bright color is set off by a small white spot in 
the center of the falls. This color pattern is a variation in 
manner of coloring and appeals very much to those people 
who like this type of color pattern. $10.00
