President Pilkington Each 20c, Doz. $2.00 
Large, of bold form, well-branched, many buds to stalk, and medium 
tall. Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with falls of soft violet 
faintly edged silvery brown. The elegant dignity of this Iris gives it a 
charm that is difficult to describe. Midseason. 40 inches. 
Rameses Each 20c, Doz. $2.00 
Winner of the Dykes Medal for 1932. A lovely blend of soft yellow and 
tourmaline-pink, the flower being suffused with a yellow glow ‘at the 
center. A perfect flower in every way.

San Diego : Each 
One of the finest medium-dark blues. A gigantic Iris of heavy sub- 
stance and fine flaring form and compelling appearance. Tall and 
vigorous. Early midseason. 40 inches. 
Shah Jehan Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
A multi-colored Iris with 7 distinct colors, but a flower of the greatest 
refinement notwithstanding its lavish colors. It is considered by many 
as one of the greatest achievements of Iris development. Standards, soft 
creamy buff, flushed soft lavender and suffused gray, fading to almost 
pure white as the flower ages. Falls, deep, rich ruby-red, with a Yg-inch 
white border. This is but an inadequate description of this very fine Iris. 
Shining Waters Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
Four to five feet. Early. Very sweet fragrance. On close inspection 
the surface seems to be studded with tiny jewels, giving an unusual 
sparkle. A uniform, clear sky-blue, of a most delightful shade. 
Siegfried Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
An Iris they are all talking about, and one which every grower will want 
to own. A flower of really huge size, pale sulphur-yellow overlaid with 
a stippling and dotting of purple. A slightly buffy overtone blends the 
colors together. 
Sierra Blue Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
Winner of the Dykes Memorial Medal in 1935, highest international 
honors as the best of the year. An exceptionally smooth refined flower 
of clear blue with heavy substance, immense size, perfect form, and 
towering over 4 feet high. 
Snowking Each 60c, Doz. $6.00 
Regal in bearing with broadly flaring great white blossoms lit with 
gold at the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and strong in growing 
habit. 3 feet tall. A wonderful and thoroughly hardy white form from the 
Sasses. 
Venus de Milo Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Pure white. Honorable Mention American Iris Society. An outstanding 
good white. A perfect flower in every way. 
Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
William Mohr 
The foliage and leaves of William Mohr are always small but the 
blooms are simply immense. The ground color is pale lilac, standards 
flushed darker, the whole flower beautifully veined manganese-violet. 
Substance and shape of the very best; a very large flower, actual 
measurements showing standards 31/4 inches by 234 inches and falls 
3} inches by 2 inches. Stems strong and rigid. Rhizomes naturally small. 
Early. 
Winneshiek Each 30c,; Doz. $3.00 
We like this best of all the new black Irises, the actual color being the 
deepest midnight-blue-violet. It is certainly one of the best of this 
type, if not the best. The flower is large, of lustrous silky texture, of 
perfect form and freely produced. You will not be disappointed with 
Winneshiek.

They multiply rapidly, bloom profusely, require no care but can be counted upon to take care of 
themselves. They have in miniature form all the characteristics of the tall Bearded Iris. They begin 
to flower in April and continue well into May. They are hardy everywhere and, as said before, 
excellent for edging and borders or walks.
