IRIS 
GARDENS 


NED LEFEVRE (Lapham 1942) ML. 36”. 
A spicy toned coppery salmon and pinkish orange blend. 
The restless colors are lit by a golden iridescence and the 
colors are so interlaced and infused it is hard to discern their 
modifying degrees of variation. The coppery overtone 
gives the appearance of a very light brown self at first glance. 
A bright play of colors. $12.00 
NIGHTINGALE (D. Hall 1942) M. 36”. 
In essence it is one of our most coppery iris, a gleaming 
golden-russet. A new shade and very attractive, recap- 
turing the spirit of the golden sunset glow. A significant 
introduction. Large flowers, substance fair, good branched 
stems that are very rigid. $5.00 
ORMACO (Kleinsorge 1942) ML. 33”. 
For those who have a flair for the unusual this seedling of 
Ormohr x Aztec Copper should be particularly interesting. 
It is an unusual blend of light violet and much brown and 
copper, bronze and brown, especially around the center of 
the flower. It is a uniquely styled iris and has that indivi- 
dualized look with which iris of Oncocyclus ancestry seem 
endowed. $12.00 
PINK REFLECTION. XP. Cook :1947),12 36%, 
Simply exquisite new chamois skin pink blend of quality 
and individuality. A nymph-like light to medium pink with 
an underlay of creamy buff, crisp and unwilted looking. 
Very attractive form, flaring falls, large sized flowers. A 
lovely hydrangea pink, crisp and clean cut like a piece of 
silk brocade. $9.00 
PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) ML. 33”. 
Waxy, glossy snow white. This statuesque, glistening, 
pure white is what we like to call a color gem, a superb 
garden iris. Neither tall nor large its charm lies in its purity. 
About the whitest-white, even the beard and style arms 
have no trace of color. The form is rounded, the substance 
splendid. Not a giant, it has those intangible attributes 
that mark it as quality. A pleasing iris. $2.00 
RADIANT KNIGHT (Salbach 1942) VL. 38”. 
A very fine late blooming variety in bright colors. Stan- 
dards are clear orange brown; falls rich coppery orange. 
Large blooms of good form and substance. $7.50 
RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Broad formed flower of the size and finish of Depute Nom- 
blot 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 Jas- 
per 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 sub- 
stanced bloom. A most harmonious iris that has to be seen 
to be appreciated. (Pictured on opposite page.) $10.00 
REDWARD (P. Cook 1942) ML, 32”. 
This noble flower is the culmination of breeding for a 
crimson iris thru several generations. It is a brilliant red 
from the purple (not brown) side of the color scale. Large 
flowers of brilliant dahlia carmine to burnt lake, it is a sub- 
stantial looking development that looms up in rich, august 
tones. Very attractive, not an early blooming variety. 
$7.50 
REGENCY ROSE (Stephenson 1942) ML. 36”. 
Interesting, effective pinkish-rose of especially fine 
carrying quality in the garden. A self in a pleasing tone of 
amaranth to deep rose pink with slight fawn undercast; 
heavily substanced with medium large flowers, a very nice 
iris. 75¢ 
REMEMBRANCE  (D. Hall 1942) ML. 38”. 
An ephemeral large pink blend with an air of bewitchment 
added to the flower by the suffusion of pale yellow blended 
delicately with the pink cast. It is the choice of numerous 
seedlings of this color developed by the hybridizer. It 
makes a very lovely spot of color in the garden. $5.00 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942) M. 38”. 
An individual iris in the reddish purple class. Alight 
with a smoldering glow, the standards are a rich pansy purple 
with the flaring falls overlaid black velvet, punctuated with 
a striking touch of precision by a neat edge on the falls the 
same tone as the standards. Velvety and clean cut, it glows 
like a ruby light when the sun shines on it. $10.00 
SNOW CARNIVAL (Graves 1942) M. 38”. 
This outstanding ruffled white was one of the nicest new 
iris we grew on test last season. Possesses balance and 
beauty, a splendid, striking cold white whose frilled form, 
large flowers and nice branched stem combine to give an 
iris Dr. Graves can indeed be proud of. Clearly colored, it 
promises much. $15.00 
SNOW SENTINEL (Baker 1942) M. 50”. 
A new white developed in the East. The huge flowers 
are well proportioned; flaring falls and domed standards. 
The waxy substance is heavy and very weather resistant 
both to wind and rain. A glistening foil to the clear white 
color is the orange-yellow beard which brightens the entire 
flower. A glitter of gold upon the falls. $10.00 
SUN HAWK (DeForest 1939) ML. 36”. 
One of the lighter toned yellows, it is extremely clear 
colored and has a sort of translucent quality to its delicate 
yet definite coloring which is quite unusual for this color. 
Not a lemon or orange yellow it is close to what we would 
call true yellow. Good. $1.50 
SUNSET BEAM (Schreiner 1942) M. 34”. 
A modern blend is distinguished from older iris blends by 
its finish, lustre and substance. In color this blend is a pale, 
nymph-like, silky cream-yellow with just a hint of buff. In 
general effect a buff-flesh tone glistening and gleaming with 
iridescent gold dust. The falls are blended old rose suffused 
tan. The colors are beautifully embossed and highlighted 
by sparkling bright gold sprinklings. (Pictured on opposite 
page.) $7.50 
TAPESTRY ROSE (D? Hall 1942) Mess” 
Languorous, simply exquisite soft old rose colored blend. 
This very nice iris should appeal to people who like blends. 
Large, well formed flowers of excellent substance on a strong, 
very well branched stem. $5.00 
THE SEN TINE De Hall 1942) M367) 
Probably one of Mr. Hall’s most unusual new develop- 
ments in a series of blends where he has been so strikingly 
successful. A uniquely colored iris — very attractive bright 
burnished copper. The branching is not the finest but its 
attractive tones and rapid growth suit it admirably for 
a garden iris. A clump makes a colorful spot. $3.00 
TISHOMINGO (Caldwell 1942) M. 38”. 
Smoothness of substance characterizes this clean-cut, 
appealing, out-of-the-ordinary iris, a wisteria blue and blue- 
lavender. A flower of crispness, texture and firm substance. 
A development from Tennessee, it is very delightful. Has 
been highly recommended by Eastern iris experts. $10.00 
TITIAN LADY (G. Douglas 1941) M. 36”. 
A sparkling white iris embellished by an ornate, full, 
thick beard of Titian red near to shrimp red. The intensely 
colored beard is most original and a fine contrast to the 
frosty white of the flower. This is a new feature in iris and 
we expect to see some interesting new varieties developed 
with beards of different colors. $7.50
