GAR AL OG 21 


bicolor with a rich brown shading at the hafts like epaulets. 
[ts color is striking and novel. The wide, trim semi-circular 
formed blooms have a well tailored appearance. Substance 
is firm; blooming very late and being long blooming it im- 
presses us as one of the finest creations. Very large, refined 
blooms. ' $2.0 
WHITE CITY (Murrell 1939) EM. 42”. 
The Dykes Medal Winner for 1940 in England. An im- 
mense flower of sheer coolness and unbelievable silken sheen 
with a hint of plumbago blue around the heart of its stiff, 
stalwart blossom, wonderful branching and flaring form and 
substance to stand anything the weatherman has to offer. 
Non-fading retaining its delicate frosty lustre till the end. 
Dr. Cook reports it is stunning planted in very slight shade 
with delicate pink iris. It assumes a platinum glow that 
no other iris can boast. $5.00 
WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith 1936) M. 38”. 
Statuesque white, beautiful domed standards. Both 
standards and falls lightly ruffled. Large flower whose 
glistening white blooms and yellow beard are borne on tall 
sturdy stalks. 75c 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) L. 36”. 
About the largest iris in existence. Most gargantuan 
formed blooms lack seriously in substance or color but this 
iris has tremendous size coupled with a violet tone which 
is slight bicolor with a whitish beard. The bloom is so huge 
that an expanded hand may be held behind it and yet be 
completely obscured by the flower. Medium tall branched 
stems, average substance and huge blooms. $1.25 
WINNESHIEK (Egelberg 1931) M. 37”. 
One of the finest in the dark-blue color section with 
segments unusually broad and lustrous. A touch of ruffling 
augments its graceful form. Winneshiek is one of the few 
iris with a lighter margin on the falls, a feature which lends 
a distinctive touch. 25c; 3 for 60c 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 38”. 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in form as it 
is pure in color, tall snow white. One of the most beautiful 
white iris. [he pronounced flare of the stiffly-substanced 
flower reminds one of a piece of stiffly starched material. 
Flowers are very large, nicely proportioned giving the 
flower the feeling of elaborate styling. A lavish gold throat 
regally caps its pure beauty. 
_ This development of ours has met with very high praise. 
Its purity of coloring is as white as driven snow and the 
breadth to the segments as well as its rigid carriage and 
heavy substance coupled with the bright gold in the heart 
were singled out for a very favorable review in the American 
Iris Society Bulletin by Iris critics in Pennsylvania and IIli- 
nois.. To those gardeners who live in sections of the U. S. 
that experience any degree of winter weather it will be es- 
pecially valuable as it is the first hardy white in our experi- 
ence to embody many of the splendid features of the more 
tender white iris. (Illustration on page 10.) $4.00 
WM. MOHR (Mohr.1925) EM. 30”. 
As different an iris as one can have —a huge, exotic 
lavender closely netted over-all with a fine purple veining. 
Grow this iris in the hottest spot you have, selecting a 
well-drained area and working a few limestone chips into 
the soil. 25c; 3 for 60c
