SAN DIEGO (Mohr-Mitchell) M—46’’. The only very dark 
violet-blue that we list, but it is the best of its type. Simply 
huge, of perfect gothic form, and of a rich, attention-compelling 
color. May need some winter protection in the coldest sections. 
35c, 3 for 90c 
THE BLUE BICOLORS 
BUECHLEY GIANT (Buechley 1932) E—40"’’. Ranks first 
among the older blue Iris that are now plentiful enough to enable 
mass plantings. A gigantic and lustrous lavender-blue bicolor. 
35c, 3 for 90c, 12 for $3.00 
J. J. DEAN (Dean 1922) M—32”. A striking bicolor, with 
standards of lilac-blue and falls of velvety, deep violet-blue. 
Large. A free bloomer. 35c¢

Very colorful. Tere

Imagine the 
coloring—standards as white as new snow— 
falls rich hyacinth violet, beautifully bordered 
white to match the standards. The best Amoena. 
If you can find a more attractive Iris, won’t you 
please tell us about it. $1.00 
WABASH 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) EM—34’’. The team-mate and 
predecessor of WABASH. Quite similar, but here the white 
standards are replaced with ones of palest lavender. The top- 
notch Neglecta. Charming, and so much in demand that we 
regretfully must limit sale to one to a customer. Also near the 
top of the ‘45 SYMPOSIUM. $1.50 
VALOR (Nicholls 1932) L—44’’. An impressive large, tall, 
bicolor with standards of deep lilac and falls of velvety blackish 
violet. 35c, 3 for 90c, 12 for $3.00 
PERSIA (Ayres 1929) M—36”. No other Iris is colored like 
this. Standards of soft dove grey, flourished above bright purple 
falls. Gives off an oriental fragrance. 35c 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson 1929) LM—38”. For the be- 
ginner who cannot afford WABASH or AMIGO, this earlier 
Williamson introduction is a very satisfactory substitute. 35¢ 
SIR MICHAEL (Yeld 1925) L—38”. Probably the nearest ap- 
proach as yet to that Iris breeder’s goal—an Iris in bright blue 
and red. Standards lavender-blue; falls sharply contrasting, 
reddish purple. In mild climates it will often favor you, in the 
fall, with a second bloom. 35c, 3 for 90c 
LYCAENA (Williamson 1925) M—27‘’. Coloration somewhat 
like that of AMIGO, but this has its own distinctive individuality. 
Standards lavender-white, falls red-violet, decorated with ra- 
diating white lines. Dainty and bright. 50c 
THE ROYAL PURPLES 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) M—34’’. The most recent recipient 
of the coveted DYKE’S MEDAL, and next to the top in the ‘45 
SYMPOSIUM of the 100 best Iris. Heralded throughout the 
land as a sensational addition to that ever-growing race of ‘’de- 
scendants of the famed WILLIAM MOHR”. It gets our vote 
as the king of this hybrid race. Visualize an enormous Iris draped 
in Bishop’s purple robes of regal splendor. You must have this, 
whether or not you order any other Iris.
