FOREWORD 
To my friends and customers: 
I have been a member of the American Iris Society for 
twenty years and have been an Accredited: Judge for~ about - 
seventeen years. Six years ago I was appointed regional vice 
president, but this is my first price list. 
My years of work with Mr. White in his seedling garden 
have been of great value to me. I feel that I know a good iris 
and I do not intend to list any but good irises. 
As I cannot grow all good irises, I have decided to limit my 
list, for the most part, to those varieties which have originated on 
the Pacific Coast. 
With daffodils my training has been different. I was fortu- 
nate in knowing Dr. Stillman Berry, who stimulated my natural 
love for daffodils, and it was in his garden, many years ago. 
that I first met Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon L. Reynolds, among whose 
seedlings are some of the most beautiful daffodils I have ever 
seen. Some of these seedlings are being selected, and named, 
and I hope will adorn your gardens and give to you the joy

they have given to me. 
My list of named varieties of daffodils contains, as you will 
see, only choice sorts. 
The New Irises 
ELENA CHOOSING (Answer x Jocund) 
(White). I consider this to be one of 
the most outstanding new irises in South- 
ern California. It brings a new color into 
our iris gardens. The beautiful standards 
are metallic old gold, with a faint sugges- 
tion of lilac in the shadows. The falls are 
a darker bronze-gold with a surprising 
blaze of bright lilac below the rich orange 
beard. One can hardly call this a yellow 
iris. The stalks are tall and well-branched 
and the flowers are large. This is an ar- 
resting iris. $15.00 
MESS SALLY (Miss California x Califor- 
nia Gold) (Salbach). When one is con- 
sidering the new pink irises this should not 
be overlooked. It is in shades of pink and 
rose smoothly blended. By comparison it 
is considerably more pink than any iris in 
my garden. The color is lovely. The stalks 
are tall and the flowers large. Miss Sally 
is a splendid performer, blooming more 
than once a year and over long periods, 
and yet it-never fails to send up an abun- 
dance of new fans. $8.00 
SKY MAID (Purissima x Pacific) (Walk- 
er). This fine blue of medium tone is 
earlier than Sierra Blue, and I notice that 
although it has about the same color value 
as Sierra Blue, it is bluer in tone. It is 
a self even to the nice beard. It is a very 
lovely and desirable iris. $3.00 each
