MULBERRY ROSE (Schriener 1941) M40’. Bob Schriener 
has no competition with this introduction that has already gained 
a place in the SYMPOSIUM. We list it here, but it is so distinct 
from all other Iris that it needs a color class by itself, between 
the pinks and the purples, perhaps best described as ‘’mulberry 
rose’. Of breath-taking brilliance. $6.00 
CLARET VELVET (Weed 1941) M—32"’. The richness and 
appeal of a glass of claret wine brought forth in a new flower to 
beautify your garden. Color very deep and alluring. Intensely 
fragrant. $2.00 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) M—38"’. Highest ranking of all 
“45 SYMPOSIUM Iris in the shades of purple and red-violet is 
this aristocrat that is as outstanding for its perfect form and re- 
fined finish as it is for its color. Texture like rich satin, not vel- 
vety as you might infer. A free bloomer, thriving everywhere. 
$2.50 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) M—42"’. The largest 
Iris that we grow and probably the largest in existence. Truly 
colossal, with flowers sometimes measuring as much as 6 inches 
across and 7 inches high. In spite of its immensity, this Iris 
holds its form remarkably well. And its color, too, goes well with 
its size, being a rich royal purple. $1.25 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls 1934) M—36’’. Wafted from the 
depths of this siren of the flower kingdom is an alluring per- 
fume that will tantalize and hold you. CREOLE BELLE is our 
nomination for the most fragrant of all Iris. A very intense 
blue-purple, gilded brown at the haft. Stock very limited. 65¢ 
MELDORIC (Ayres 1931) M—30”: A much finer variety than 
its age would seem to indicate. A splendid dark purple with 
extremely flaring falls and heavy leathery substance. 35c¢ 
IRIS IN LAVENDER AND MAUVE 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937) M—40". A ‘45 SYMPOSIUM 
Iris of great and richly-deserved popularity. If ELMOHR is just 
beyond your reach this year, we suggest ORMOHR, also intro- 
duced at $25, and know you will be thrilled with its gigantic 
flowers in deep silvery lavender, veined violet. One of the ex- 
tremely few seedlings of WILLIAM MOHR, and one that readily 
sets seed. Already it is beginning to yield its own race of hybrid 
descendants. Invaluable to all breeders in this field. Now avail- 
able at only— $1.00 
CHARLOTTE MILLET (Cayeux 1937) L—36”. French intro- 
duction that is much admired. One of the very few Iris in tones 
of true lavender. Fine for that special nook for late-flowering 
Iris. An Iris of firm substance and excellent form. $1.50 
OZONE (J. Sass 1935) ML—37’’. Another beauty in true lav- 
ender, but this one is embellished with harmonious copper shad- 
ings. You will remember this, once you have seen it. 75¢ 
ANNE-MARIE CAYEUX (Cayeux 1928) M—32”. Here you'll 
find all the iridescent tints of a pigeon’s throat— in fact, the 
only Iris in pearly mauve that we list. Soft and lovely. 35c 
SAN GABRIEL (Dean 1921) VE—60’’. Almost the oldest Iris 
that we list, but still in very great demand because there is no 
other fine variety in this class that is so early or so tall. This 
comes out weeks ahead of most Iris, sometimes as early as 
March 1. On account of this early blooming habit, not recom- 
mended for very cold regions. A lustrous rosy-tinted lavender. 
Sometimes attains a height of 6 feet. A triploid, having 36 
chromosomes. 35c, 3 for 90c 
THE LAVENDER BICOLORS 
TOWER OF JEWELS (Salbach 1941) M—50’’. Reminiscent 
of the glowing Tower of Jewels at the ‘15 Exposition is this 
lofty floral creation from Carl Salbach. Standards in rosy gold, 
falls in contrasting bright lavender. Low-branched stems and 
well-placed flowers. Be sure to plant it toward the back of 
your Iris bed. $1.00 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) EM—36’. A bicolor blend in 
harmonious tones of bronzy gold and electric blue-lavender, 
gilded with a deep orange beard. 50c 
PLURABELLE (Cayeux 1933) ML—38”. A variety that is 
almost paradoxical, in that it combines lovely softness with 
strong contrast. Standards of delectable echru, differing mark- 
edly from the falls of clear mauve. 35c 
PRESIDENT PILKINGTON (Cayeux 1931) EM—46’’. A very 
large Iris richly deserving the distinct honor of being named 
for the eminent President of the Iris Society of England. Stand- 
ards of rosy buff, flaunted above wide flaring falls of bluish- 
lavender, infused with old gold. 50c
