EI Mohr. 
Violet Symphony. 


TWO OF THE VERY 
BEST 
(Loomis.) Without doubt 
the most exciting Iris ever intro- 
duced. The color is a rich violet- 
red, but the outstanding feature 
of this variety is its enormous size 
and grace. The falls are flaring, 
fully 2 inches wide. The stand- 
ards are of great substance 
spreading and curving gracefully 
enough to expose a_ perfectly 
formed center. The stems are suf- 
fiently powerful to expose three 
wide open 7-inch blossoms through 
severe rain and wind. Every Iris 
lover sooner or later will own an 
El Mohr. Supply limited. Price: 
$6.00 each. 
(K. Smith.) The 
best Iris in its color class. Tall 
graceful branching spikes with 
large violet self blossoms of great 
substance. Height 40 _ inches. 
Price: $5.00 each.

EXCLUSIVE 
INTRODUCTIONS 
FOR 1945 
Sally Ann. (K. Smith.) Our best introduction 
to date. A premium Iris with the longest 
known biooming period of any existing va- 
riety. We timed a full 414 weeks bloom from 
Sally Ann, which is a record. The color is a 
lovely deep buff-yellow self with unexcelled 
substance. In our trials we have rated it the 
No. 1 yellow to date. Price: $7.50 each. 
Jewelite. (Cassebeer.) Large flower of bronzy 
orange-salmon, suffused pink, lavender and 
yellow. This gorgeous combination and 
blending of color can never be fully appre- 
ciated unless seen. Color photography can 
not capture the arresting beauty and illum- 
ination of this outstanding variety. It shows 
to best advantage as a cut flower indoors or 
on a cloudy day. Limited amount available. 
Price: $10.00 each. 
Lovely Melody. (K. Smith ‘45.) A beautiful 
early large flowering seedling, blending com- 
bination of pale tan and henna-brown. The 
standards are beautifully frilled, lightly suf- 
fused henna-brown, the falls being the same 
color but more heavily suffused. A flower 
of great size and refinement. Height 40 
inches. Price: $15.00 each. 
Katy. (K. Smith ‘44.) A lovely cream with 
soft golden orange beard. Slightly taller than 
Sally Ann and blooming over almost as long 
a period. A perfect companion for Violet 
Symphony. Price: $6.00 each. 
Rajah. (K. Smith ‘44.) A short stocky variety 
ideal for the perennial border. Standards are 
deepest aolden yellow with chocolate-purple 
falls. An outstanding bicolor. Height 30 
inches. Price: $6.00 each.
