WINTER CARNIVAL 
GOLDEN EAGLE (D. Hall 1942) M. 38”. 
A glorious, gay and soft sparkling light clear yellow. 
Intense color without a hint of orange or amber. The 
flower has a silken sheen. It has been criticized for its 
flower being somewhat open or fading. Our limited ex- 
perience with it has failed to justify these comments. As it 
blossomed for us it looked fine indeed. $3.50 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) ML. 36”. 
One of the beautiful developments in the cream and 
white class, It is actually a lemon yellow with the creamy 
falls provocatively edged and banded with limpid gold. 
The flowers are deviously twisted and lightly fluted. A 
bewitching creation done in fresh colors, a striking bloom. 
Unlike other yellow iris, it is ruffled, large sized. $10.00 
GOLDEN HELMET JJ. Sass 1933) M. 34”. 
Ruffled russet standards and ox blood red falls waved. 
A richer, more fiery, larger King Tul. 30c; 3 for 75c 
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 Geld 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. $1.00 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36”, 
Deep yellow self; large, full formed and very heavily 
substanced. A shining pure golden yellow color with extra 
S'C HR BVPN_EOR 4S- 1 1 RoRS SG ACh Nee 
heavy rich orange yellow beard. The bloom is oval with 
the falls having a slight tuck giving an informal note to the 
rich full flower. $5.00 
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 Wiltiam 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. $3.00 
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 in its class. 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 (kK. 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 mark- 
ings, and in part to a sparkling overlay of gold dust through- 
out the flower. 25c; 3 for 60c 
GYPSY BARON (Schreiner 1942) EM. 40”. 
A striking, different development in the plicata family. 
A magnetic, arresting flower unusual because of its unique 
marbling and striation — like a feathery tracery of frost on 
a window pane. Sprinkled mulberry to fluorite purple on 
silvery white background. Very crisp substance and 
weather resistant. $12.00 
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- 
COM aan 30c; 3 for 75c 
HAZEL GALLAGHER (Gage 1940) M. 36”. 
Medley of violet and pale lilac with standards more 
heavily frosted gold and bronze. Falls slightly more vividly 
colored and contrasted. About the most promising blue 
blend, a welcome addition. :
