IRIS 
GARDENS 


LULLABY (D. Hall 1943) 38”. 
A luscious new pink in shading between apple blossom 
and orchid pink. There are many new pinks being produced 
and Mr. Hall is in the vanguard producing several splendid 
new creations. $5.0 
MAIDEN BLUSH (D. Hall 1943) 36”. 
Rich pleasing shade of apricot, or is it more a pink and 
yellow blend? People agree it is a pleasing iris whichever 
color class it properly belongs in. $5.00 
MANDALAY (D. Hall 1943) 32”. 
A smooth reddish rose self. A new and attractive color 
that has been much admired. The standards are domed 
and the falls flare; medium sized flowers. Very highly 
praised by the iris enthusiasts who have viewed it. $5.00 
MEXICO (Kleinsorge 1943) L. 
A very late blooming, large flowered blended variegata. 
An orangy, coppery suffusion enlivens the entire flower to 
give it the appearance of a rich blend. Perhaps one of the 
most striking features of newer iris is this more brilliant 
overtone or undertone which breeders are incorporating 
into their developments giving a composite picture very 
different from the older type of iris. $7.50 
MISTY GOLD (Schreiner 1943) ML. 33”. 
Some iris are loud and brilliant in the garden. Others 
are entrancing with their delicacy and winsomeness. Such 
an iris is Misty Gold, a lilting, crinkle-petalled, lemon-toned 
iris with a gold braiding along the perimeter of the petals 
giving a most effective foil to the cool soft lemon cream 
shadings in the center of the flower. It is the first of the 
cool toned yellows to have breath and primness in its car- 
riage. Fluted and revolute it will delight the stylist with 
its sculptured-like blooms. $12.00 
MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass 1943) M. 36”. 
Best characterized as an improved’ Elsa Sass. <A cool 
lemony yellow self with only the slightest hint of green in 
its dulcet tones. Full formed, medium large flowers, coldly 
chaste. An exquisite iris which we blossomed last Spring 
and consider most promising. $7.50 
OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) M. 36”. 
This is one of the best deep yellows, rich in color, brilliant 
in effect. It has been criticized as being a little slow to open 
and slightly irregular. Its outstanding quality is its gorgeous 
deep yellow coloring with a slight orange cast. $15.00 
ORANGE GLOW (Cassebeer 1943) 35”. 
A bright new iris with glowing copper tinted gold stand- 
ards and burnished copper falls. Resembles its parent, 
Radiant, to some extent. It is essentially larger in all its 
parts and has more orange and copper; very smoothly 
colored. $9.00 
ORCHID LADY (Salbach 1943) M. 36”. 
Large formed blooms of a lovely shade of lilac. A self 
perfectly formed with stiffly arched standards and very stiff 
flaring falls. It has been reviewed as a better branched 
and pinker Miss California though the originator states the 
two iris are not alike. $7.50 
OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge 1943) L. 36”. 
In our yellow blend class this novelty promises to be 
quite worthwhile and distinct. Smooth, tawny salmon-like, 
the shadings of golden molasses with soft brown shadings 
along the shoulders and beard of the flower give an un- 
unusual effect. $10.00 
PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge 1943) M. 34”. 
A luscious coloring — near peach pink. Particularly 
effective as a garden clump. Stiff, wiry stems bear a pro- 
fusion of flowers. $7.50 
POT O’ GOLD (Grant 1941) ML. 36”. 
This is one of the dark, rich, brilliant yellows with a 
smooth, firm substance. The deep yellows are perhaps the 
most striking color in the garden for rich contrast. This 
new bright iris is a good variety in its class. $2.00 
RANGER (Kleinsorge 1943) L. 36”. 
Dark and brilliant, new crimson-red, Ranger has been 
compared to many of the other red iris each with its dif- 
ferences noted. It has been likened to Red Amber, too, a 
deep rose-red, so this iris’s blossoming next Spring will be 
most interesting to us. $7.50 
SHARKSKIN (G. Douglas 1942) M. 40”. ; 
Clear 
One of the very promising new pure white iris. 
haft with substance good and finish very fine. Five well 
spaced branches. $7.50 
SNOW VELVET (H. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
An excellent very velvety textured iris with exceptional 
weather resistance. Possesses a gardenia-like texture which 
is unusual in the white class. $5.00 
SPARKLING BLUE (Grant 1942) M. 40”. 
Flax blue with shimmering frosty crystals that make the 
flower sparkle with a cool refreshing effect. A fine colored 
iris, nicely substanced flowers blooming over a very long 
time. $10.00 - 
STARWOOD (Peggy Jean Williams 1943) M. 38”. 
A development by one of the youngest iris hybridists; a 
tall, large flowering rich yellow from the cross of Golden 
Hind by Sundust. An exceptionally clear, free flowering 
iris of great garden value. $3.50 
SUNNY RUFFLES (Waters 1943) EM. 38”. 
A beruffled, unusual shaped yellow. A clear lemon chrome 
in color with the center of each petal shading to cream white. 
Possesses a variation in petal formation that is welcome. 
$8.00 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) M. 36”. 
This is about the finest seedling to come from the famous 
Prairie Sunset. It is without question a wonderful new iris 
unique in color and sufficiently different to be significant. 
A lovely golden apricot with a glorious irisdescent blend 
having that unusual quality of coloring of its parent, 
Prairie Sunset, in new color tones. Truly one of the grandest 
iris of its coloring. $20.00 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. 
A sonorous and imposing purple self. It is rich and ma- 
jestic, quite broadly built with heavy substance. Quite 
late blooming it looks as if it will prove to be a valuable 
addition to our deep violet class. $3.00 
WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant 1943) EM. 36”. 
A large white of smooth and unusual character. Freshly 
opened blossoms betray a slight bluish cast soon paling to a 
cool white. There is an effective contrast provided by a 
dark blue beard that should give this flower a very novel 
appearance. $15.00 
WORTHINGTON (P. Cook 1943) M. 36”. 
Strong and clear, bright rosy-red that carried very ef- 
fectively. A harmonious bicolor, the colors are all pleasingly 
clear and bright; good form, nice size, smoothly textured 
and heavily substanced. $7.50 
WHITE SAMITE (Norton 1943) M. 36”. 
A virginal white, not large but with a charm that is dis- 
tinguished. The flowers flare gracefully, yet airily. The 
petals are heavily substanced and beautifully frilled. Viewed 
across the garden a clump of this iris looks like a group of 
fluttering white birds. An altogether pleasing white.
