GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) ML. 36”. 
One of the most beautiful new developments in the cream 
and white class. A charming caprice of coloring, unusual 
and unexpected, a harmony of cool lemony yellow and cream 
white. The standards are a clear sulphur to lemon yellow 
and the falls creamy white with a provocative edging and 
banding of limpid gold. The entire flower has a lilt to its 
carriage, the petals are deviously twisted and lightly fluted; 
a bewitching creation done in fresh colors without a mar or 
blemish on its chaste serene florets. A study in harmony 
and a most striking individuality characterize this praise- 
worthy iris. $15.00 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn 1934) M. 30”. 
One of the most colorful rich yellows, being a bright, 
clear buttercup yellow. Not large, it has a richness and 
depth of color possessed by few of the very newest varie- 
ties. Floriferous and a rapid increaser; stunning color. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the very finest golden yellows, an iris of gleaming 
gold! So meritorious do we consider this splendid iris that 
we believe it will far surpass the tremendous popularity 
California Gold has enjoyed. And it is as much an improve- 
ment over California Gold as California Gold was over the 
older yellows. The good sized blooms with splendid domed 
form are majestic. A smooth and glistening finish, it does 
not fade. ‘The substance, finish and branching are excep- 
tionally good. For purity and brilliance it is one of those 
exceptional iris, a classic in irisdom. (Illustration on 
page 18.) $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36”. 
Deep yellow self; large, full formed and very heavily 
substanced. A shining pure golden yellow color — deep, 
warm, rich and lustrous. The bloom has a slight tuck in 
the falls giving an informality to the rich full flower, rather 
refreshing after the staid conventionalism most yellows seem 
to have as respect to flower form. Sturdy blooms, weather 
resistant, well branched stems, ideal placement of et ae

GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38”. 
An exquisite 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 orange. We would have named this iris ‘Golden 
Heart”? had the name been available, so appropriately does 
this name suggest the effect of a glowing inward light 
characteristic of this flower. A judge of the American Iris 
Society visiting our fields on a cloudy day remarked with 
surprise that Golden Treasure alone of all the varieties in 
the field seemed to be spotlighted by a shaft of sunlight 
breaking thru the clouds. Yet the sky was wholly overcast 
and the effect of glowing light was due solely to the intrinsic 
brightness of the variety. Completely hardy. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935) M. 35”. 
Grace Mohr is a seedling of the ever sensational iris, 
William Mohr. Medium in tone, though darker than its 
parent, it is not quite as distinctly veined as William Mohr 
but has flaring falls, an unusual quality and tall, well 
branched stems. $1.00 
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- 
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. $4.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40”. 
Winner of the Dykes Metal in 1942 this is about our finest 
pure light blue. Of splendid mien with a pronounced flare 
with a stiff, crispy petal texture it is strikingly fine. It is a 
pure blue practically devoid of veining. Fine stems of good 
height, well branched. One of the grandest iris imaginable 
and so superior to a multitude of other blues it sets the stan- 
dard initsclass. There are several fine light blues each with 
some degree of tenderness but Great Lakes, a Canadian 
origination, is rugged and hardy. We give it our unqualified 
recommendation. $1.75 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32”. 
One of the finest whites for foreground planting. A very 
large variety with shapely blooms of splendid texture. Not 
a cold white but a warm, lustrous one — despite its snowy 
color: due in part to the warm golden beard and haft 
markings, and in part to a sparkling overlay of gold dust 
throughout the flower. 25c; 3 for 60c 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934) EM. 36”. 
This very large medium-deep yellow has fine branching 
and rivals El Capitan itself in size. There is no larger 
yellow, though others excel in depth of color and charm of 
form Happy Days requires winter protection in our sec- 
tion 30c; 3 for 75c 
HAZEL GALLAGHER (Gage 1940) M. 30”. 
The entire flower is a melody of ageratum violet to pale 
vinaceous lilac with the base of the standards lightly frosted 
gold and bronze. The falls at the haft are colored like the 
standards blending to dark Hyssop violet and then to 
Petunia deepening to pansy violet with a light brown 
border around the edges. This gives promise on the basis 
of last years blooming of being about our finest blue blend, a 
welcome addition. $2.50 
ICY “BLUE. (Weeds1941) B.-44% 
A trim and neat, yet very large, crisp light blue with a 
frosty lustre. The flowers are of heavy substance and 
smooth, close texture with well proportioned semi-open 
standards and flaring falls. A very light tone of blue ex- 
traordinary in that it does not fade. Quite often these very 
pale blues or blue-whites have a smoky look but this is a 
clean, crisp-looking iris. We are observing several newer 
blue developments. Preliminary observations would in- 
dicate that /cy Blue rated as one of the finer. $3.00 
IMPERIAL BLUSH HU. Sass 1932) EM. 38”. 
Silvery lilac with a creamy-pink iridescence. Large and 
A very halcyon iris personality. 
25C No tOniouc 
tall, good stem. 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant 1937) M. 37”. 
A rich true-purple, somewhat similar to Magenta in color 
but deeper, and, incidentally, about three times as large. 
Blooms are of good substance and of fine oval form. A 
thrifty grower and good propagator. When this variety 
gets down in price it will be in heavy demand for massing, 
since it makes a gloriously rich clump of a color which has 
unusual carrying power. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
INSPIRATION (Stevens 1937) M. 38”. 
We nominate this splendid iris as being the most over- 
looked modern iris. In our collection this iris has always 
been singled out for admiration and has been the source of 
much excitement. Last flowering season it and Mulberry 
Rose were singled out as the most unique new colors. 
Inspiration is probably the richest of all the rose toned 
iris, the giant blooms possess an unrivalled lustre. The 
broadly formed blooms are precisely formed as if carved. 
In tone it is a large glistening light carmine or rose madder. 
A self of size and good branching stems. At times in the 
garden it seemed to carry in the distance as a very deep pink. 
An iris beloved by the discriminating fanciers. $3.00
