Misty Gold (Schreiner 1943) ML. 33”. 
A lovely gold spangled, lemon colored iris. The first of the lemon-toned, gold braided iris to have 
breadth, body and fullness to its bloom. The flowers have broad, rounded petals and fine substance whereas 
iris of this shade heretofore have been generally characterized by narrowness or lengthy petals. It is so 
attractive it drew as much attention as did the more showy butter yellows. The flower has a lilt and gaiety 
due to the crinkling of the petals. The precise golden perimeter of the petals is a most effective foil to the 
lusciously cool, soft lemon-cream coloring of the center of the flower. It has three qualities that make an 
iris popular, large and broad flower, fluted petals and fine color. Price, each $15.00 
Frosted Glass (Becherer 1943) M. 38”. 
Here is an iris which seemed more beautiful each time we returned to view it. Outstanding for its 
unusual color and its wonderful form. It is palest opalescent cream with a pearliness contributed by its 
very frost-like iridescence. Each individual blossom is a classic for form, ornamented with anunusual tex- 
ture, so much so one does not seem to see merely the opaque surface of the petals. There are creams and 
lemon shaded iris but we have never seen an iris that is colored as Frosted Glass. The name is very des- 
criptive of its high finish. Plant habit is very good and the tall, branched stem with perfectly formed 
flowers leaves little to be desired. An extremely original iris. Price, each $15.00 
White Samite (Norton 1943) M. 36”. 
Size in an iris is not a necessity. We offer this iris as a refutation. While size may be impressive on 
first view it often palls. White Samite has a charm that grows on one. The real test of an iris’ worth is the 
same test a work of art, a poem or a piece of music receives — does time find its beauty enduring? In this 
flower we have a virginal white iris without another tint of color. The flowers flare gracefully, yet airily. 
The petals are heavily substanced and beautifully frilled. The stems are average in height and have a 
modest amount of branching. Viewed across the garden a clump of this iris looks like a group of fluttering 
white birds. As personable an iris as can be imagined. Price, each $5.00 
Bombay (Hamilton 1943) M. 36”. 
A very high ranking variegata and a fitting companion to City of Lincoln. Bright and clear yellow 
standards that are rigidly domed and bright coppery maroon falls broadly formed and shapely in their 
modified flare. The falls are practically solidly colored maroon, a desirable sharp contrast with the clear 
yellow standards. Good variegatas are few and this broad-petalled seedling from Helios x Directeur Pinelle 
compares with the best and should be a welcome addition to any garden. It is a splendid growing variety. 
Introduced at a low price because we have a liberal stock. Price, each $2.50
