Alta California Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 Angelus Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
It is tallest of all the new yellow Iris, and its branching qualifies it In color a bright light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just below

fullest beauty of any Iris garden, and Alta California serves this purpose Anne Marie Cayeux Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
to perfection. One of the best light blends. A French introduction, given an Award of 
Merit by National Horticultural Society in France. S. pinkish lilac, 
flushed gray; F. metallic blue over gray; the “iridescent colorings of a 
pigeon’s throat’’ to use originator’s description. 
Beowulf Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Rich velvety maroon unmarred by any haft venation. The coppery brown of the 
standards is repeated in a soft margining on the unusual broad falls. The rich 
orange beard completes the glowing ensemble. Beowulf is the nearest true ma- 
roon of any Iris. 
Black Wings Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00 
A new “black” Iris that is gorgeously deep in tone. S. deep fluorite violet; F. 
deeper fluorite violet, with black veins, and so very velvety that at some angles 
they are absolutely black. Blooms of good size, form, and substance, and a hardy 
plant. Very fragrant, and a great achievement in breeding, as it is very nearly black. 
Blue Velvet Each $0.20, Doz. $2.00 
One of the most beautiful and appropriately named, as the entire flower seems to 
be cut out of velvet and the color is a deep intense blue. 
Buechley’s Giant Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
A truly large flower of silky lavender-blue which because of its superior size, tex- 
ture, and plant habits has displaced the older ‘‘Lord of June.’’ One of the largest 
of all Irises. Should be in every collection. 
California Gold Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00 
We consider this one of the finest deep yellow Iris introduced to date and think this 
is the concensus of opinion of others. It is simply superb, having a brilliance and 
purity of color and perfection of form and finish not approached pi any other 
deep yellow Iris we have seen. The flowers are large and very freely produced.

Christabel Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
Red—and it will not disappoint the most exacting critic. For sheer brilliance we 
rank it second only to the new Red Gleam of which there are only a few plants 
available. Glorious as a garden clump, almost a self, of large size, over 3 feet tall. 
Crystal Beauty Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
Very early and very tall. A gorgeous, pure, clear snow-white of huge size on 
stalks that are shoulder high, being the tallest of all white Iris. Flowers of per- 
fect shape and freely produced. 
Dauntless Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
Winner of highest international honors, the Dykes Memorial Medal. The finest 
and purest red-toned Iris introduced to date. 
Depute Nomblot Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
Another Dykes Medal Winner. Of gigantic size and perfect form and texture, on 
tall, nicely branched stems. S. coppery red, flushed golden bronze; F. rich claret- 
crimson. The entire flower seems to be lightly dusted with fine golden powder, 
which sparkles in the sunlight, giving it an unusual richness. 
Dore Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Huge flowers of fine form, with lemon-yellow standards and ivory falls, the falls 
having gold veinings at the throat and orange beards. Height 40 inches. Very 
scarce, 
Eleanor Blue Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Chicory to campanula-blue with more lavender in the falls, which flare sharply. An 
Iris of unusually fine, leathery texture. A superb clear, clean flower. 
Eros Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Very fragrant. Award of Merit, American Iris Society, 1936. A delightful new 
salmon or Hydrangea-pink, with as many as 12 flowers to a stem, now offered for 
the first time at a modest price. Entirely different from all other pinks. The large 
shapely flowers have a delightful silky texture. 
Golden Light Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00 
Early. The best of the new golden brown blends. Standards delightfully ruffled 
gold, edged soft lilac. Falls gold, flushed soft lilac at the center and veined brown; 
flaring deep orange beard. ‘ 
Golden Treasure Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00 
An exquisite new creamy yellow Iris with an elusive charm. Its loveliness seems to 
lie principally in its shimmering silkiness of texture and in the subtle infusion of 
golden light throughout the center of the flower. The beard is bright otange. 
Whites, creams, and yellows are always valuable for “lighting up” an Iris garden, 
and none more so than this brilliant new Iris. Truly a “golden treasure” to any 
landscape artist. 
Gudrun Each $0.30, D 
| .30, Doz. $3.00 
Winner of the Dykes Memorial Medal by the English Iris Society. A top notch white 
Iris among so many fine new white ones and by many judges considered the finest 
of all. It is a massive flower of purest snow-white, undoubtedly the largest and 
most massive. 
Jean Cayeux : Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Certainly one of the most beautiful Iris we have ever grown. It has been awarded 
all honors and justly so. The full-petaled flower with its slight suggestion of a frill 
has stately grace and opulence of form. Its novel superb coloring of light Havana- 
brown with a luster of golden biscuit-tan shows up magnificently anywhere in the 
garden. It flowers freely over a long period. Height 34 inches. 
Los Angeles ; Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
Great white flowers of fine shape and substance, the standards faintly edged blue 
with the blue style arms adding a note of clear blue in the center. Tall and widely 
branched. Most outstanding. Early. 40 inches.
