OURAY (Thomas-Thorup 1937) M to L—30"’. One of the few 
Iris of only medium size and moderate height that you will 
certainly want. Outstanding because of its gleaming ruby-red 
color and its long season of bloom, still producing flowers after 
most of the others have said adieu. 75¢ 
BERKELEY BRONZE (Salbach 1936) M—38"’. Here is our 
nomination of the best bronzy-red for the beginner. A variety 
that has color, size and above all, freedom of bloom, frequently 
producing 10 or 11 flowers per stalk. 35c 
NEON (Salbach 1934) L—36”’. If you would have your gar- 
den glow like the neon lights of Broadway, plant this. Falls 
more velvety than on any of the other reasonably-priced Iris in 
bronze and red. 50c 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934) M—40’’. In such constant demand 
that the stock is always inadequate. Standards a delightful 
combination of light red and gold. Falls exceptionally bright 
red, tending toward scarlet. 35¢ 
BRONZE BEACON (Salbach 1932) VL—50”. A variety for 
your late Iris garden, extending the season a full two weeks. 
One of the tallest of the bronzy-reds, and fine for mass back- 
ground plantings. 35c, 3 for 90c, 12 for $3.00 
ZUNI (Ayres 1931) E—40’. One you will like for its unusual 
red-brown coloration, fine form, and large size. 35c¢ 
THE ORANGE SCARLETS 
MEXICO (Kleinsorge 1943) VL—30”. A new Iris that will 
bring the charm of old Mexico right into your garden. The top- 
ranking variety in this popular class that almost belongs with 
the bicolors, or variegatas, due to the golden orange standards 
contrasting with the falls of scarlet or red-brown. MEXICO is 
exceptional for its heavy plush-like falls and extreme lateness. 
$7.50 
GOLD HILL (Miller 1941) M—32"’. Originated by Mrs. Cor- 
rine Miller at Gold Hill, between Placerville and the California

and deep brownish red. $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
COPPER ORANGE (Salbach 1941) M—28’'. One of the finest 
varieties in this small class, and one that has been largely over- 
looked. You will admire its orange standards, scarlet falls and 
dressy appearance. $1.00 
ORANGE FLAME (Salbach 1940) LM—34"’. Here is a dandy 
from Salbach, that breeder who has given the world so many 
worthwhile varieties. Bred from COPPER LUSTRE crossed with 
RADIANT, you can imagine the brilliance of orange flame color- 
ing that resulted. Standards in burnished orange. Falls gleaming 
with one of the best approaches to true scarlet yet attained. 
$2.50 
BROWN BOY (Salbach 1940) M—230"’’. Not as well known, 
but very similar to RADIANT which sells so fast everywhere that 
growers can never get enough stock. Standards coppery orange,

falls deeper, brownish orange. $2.00 
MATULA (H. P. Sass 1939) L—38’’. Delightful for the quaint 
ruffling of its petals is this lovely blend of old gold and apricot- 
red. Very floriferous, often with three flowers on each branch. 
$1.50 
BRONZINO (Salbach 1937) M—40’’. A good red deriving 
its name from its distinct bronzy character—standards lustrous 
golden bronze, falls brownish scarlet. In mild climates often 
blooms somewhat during the winter, in addition to the regular 
spring bloom. 60c 
THE RED BICOLORS 
(OR VARIEGATAS) 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. P. Sass 1937) EM—40’’. Dramatic 
and resplendent is this ace of all variegatas, the only one to win 
a place in the ‘45 SYMPOSIUM. In the short years since its 
introduction it has become the standard for judging all variegatas.

red falls. While they last— $1.50

fawn, copper, chestnut and purplish crimson. This, too, avail- 
able only while the stock lasts. 35¢ 

IRIS IN BRONZE AND COPPER 
CASA MORENA (De Forest 1943) M—38”. The best Iris yet r 
from that master Iris breeder, Fred De Forest. This Iris is a 
newcomer, and yet it is already so favorably known that it at- 
tained third position in the ‘45 SYMPOSIUM among all the 
Iris in tan, brown and.sunset colors. We expect it to blaze a 
lasting trail in Iris history. A deep rich coppery-brown, glow- 
ing like an ember. HONORABLE MENTION ‘44. A “must” 
for those who want the best in this color class in which so much 
of the progress has been very recent. $15.00 — 
BRONZED COPPER (Kleinsorge 1943) M—30”. Visitors gasp 
with amazement and admiration when they first see the colors 
displayed by this flamboyant Iris from Kleinsorge, that wonder- 
worker in bronze and copper. Standards garnet brown and 
amber; falls rich reddish copper, enhanced by a central splash of

brilliant peacock blue. 

PRAIRIE SUNSET 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939) M—30”. This fabulous 
Iris, introduced only a few years ago at $100 per rhizome, was 
the DYKE’S MEDALIST in ‘43 and among the first 5 in the 
SYMPOSIUM for the past 4 years. What a record! A variety 
that you will have to order early if you expect to get a rhizome. 
The sun setting over the prairie is no more beautiful than this. 
It is in blended tones of apricot, amber, rose and gold. Now 
available for only— $3.50 
AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M—38”. By far the best 
reasonably-priced Iris in this new class of bronze and copper.

rich coppers and smoky violets of the Aztec Indians into a har- 
monious whole. Don’t pass up this one. $2.00
