BALMUNG (H. P. Sass 1939) M—36”. Similar to RUTH 
POLLOCK, some liking it even better than that famous variety, 
for it certainly has size, carriage and good growing habits, as 
well as effective coloring. Rather deep yellow, etched brown. 
$2.50 
TIFFANY (H. P. Sass 1938) M—32"’. A gaily decorated ‘45 
SYMPOSIUM plicata at a very moderate price. Soft yellow, 
etched with bronzy-violet. 60c 
ORLOFF (H. P. Sass 1938) ML—34’’. Just picture a foamy 
egg-nogg besprinkled with cinnamon. Floriferous, often pro- 
ducing several stalks to each rhizome. 75¢ 
SIEGFRIED (H. P. Sass 1936) L—40’’. For a moderate-priced 
variety you cannot go wrong with this pioneer of yellow-ground 
plicatas. A bitone, with yellow standards and creamy falls, both 
marked with brownish red. 50c 
IRIS IN SKY - BLUE TONES 
NARADA (Brehm 1939) L—40’’. Here is one of the best op- 
portunities that we offer to secure a splendid new creation, 
released as late as 1939, for a very modest price. An immense 
celestial blue with an irrestible fascination, due in part to the 
silky ruffling and crumpling of its petals. Quite frequently will 
give you a second bloom in the late fall. 75c, 3 for $2.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M—48". At last we come to 
the varieety whose present-day popularity surpasses all other 
Iris, without any exception. We mean simply this: For the 
past three successive years GREAT LAKES has emerged the win- 
ner in the SYMPOSIUM representing the votes of the Judges 
of the American Iris Society, and in addition, it won the DYKE’S 
MEDAL in ‘42. Need more be said? Just that it is a hardy Cana- 
dian origination of purest blue, with great flaring falls. Sinz 
SHINING WATERS (Essig 1933) M—36”. The best-seller of 
all the light or sky-blues, and one of the very finest of all of 
Prof. Essig’s creations, the sky’s reflection in shining waters. A 
SYMPOSIUM Iris every year to date. We think it must be the 
public’s approval of the smooth color and stunning spreading 
form that gives this Iris such spontaneous popularity. Give it 
winter protection in very cold climates. 40c, 3 for $1.00 

SHINING WATERS 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) E—42". We rank this the queen of 
the very pale pastel blues—like an immense blue-white ice 
crystal, sparkling in the sun. Probably unsurpassed among blue 
Iris for the thickness of its petals. Also a ‘45 SYMPOSIUM Iris. 
40c 

GREAT LAKES 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M—40’. Magnificence 
reflected from the land mark of this name in Yosemite Park. 
Though 20 years old, this variety is so outstanding that it re- 
fuses to be displaced, and people who see it today still order it 
as they have for years. One of the largest of all Iris, done in 
fetching lilac-blue. Tall, grand, long-blooming. 35c, 3 for 90c 
SENSATION (Cayeux 1925) L—36”. A fragrant French Iris 
of great charm, that is now ready for mass plantings. An 
aniline-blue self. 3 for 60c, 12 for $2.10 
LEONATO (Hort 1922) E—44”. A tall English Iris originated 
by a friend of Sir Michael Foster, the father of Iris growing. 
Standards silvery heliotrope; falls deep lilac-blue. 
3 for 60c, 12 for $2.10 
THE MEDIUM AND DEEP BLUES 
LUCERNE (Salbach 1940) M—36"’. Carl Salbach’s best blue. 
A medium blue, just about half-way between the tones of its 
parents SHINING WATERS and BRUNHILDE. We can recom- 
mend this highly. $1.00 
ELEANOR BLUE (Salbach 1933) M—32’’. Most distinctive of 
the blues, is this campanula-blue Iris that stands out from the 
others because the falls are splashed with deep lavender, and the 
hafts are strikingly decorated with soft reddish brown. 50c 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig 1932) E—50’’. A superb, very tall, deep 
blue that gets our vote as Prof. Essig’s best blue Iris. Winner 
of the DYKE’S MEDAL in ‘35 and a SYMPOSIUM Iris for the 
last 6 years. You can’t go wrong in ordering this hardy ex- 
tremely vigorous variety with strong erect flower stalks. 35¢ 
SANTA CLARA (Mohr-Mitchell 1931) M—40’’. The ruffled 
satiny blue of medium periwinkle tone that has attracted so 
much attention. Both color and price adapt it to group plant- 
ings. 35c, 3 for 90c 
BLUE AND GOLD (Essig 1931) M—36’’. The name comes 
from the brilliant gold beard contrasting strongly with rich 
blue petals. Very showy and desirable. 35¢
