IRIS 
GARDENS 


SUN HAWK (DeForest 1939) M. 34”. 
A true light yellow niether gold, lemon or orange tinted. 
Clear and translucent, quite unusual. $1.00 
SUNNY RUFFLES (Waters 1943) EM. 36”. 
A beruffled clear lemon yellow with the center of each 
petal shading to cream white. A variation in petal forma- 
tion that is welcome. $8.00 
SUNSET BEAM (Schreiner 1942) M. 34”. 
The outstanding characteristic of this iris is the smooth 
lacquer-like manner in which the color is embossed on the 
petals. Nymph-like cream yellow standards with falls 
blended old rose suffused tan. Highlighted, bright gold 
sprinklings, finest pastel blend of unusually fine substance. 
$5.00 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. 
This is about the finest seedling [to come from the 
famous Prairie Sunset. It is without question a wonderful 
new iris unique in color and sufficiently different to be sig- 
nificant. A lovely golden apricot or apricot buff with a 
glorious iridescence having that unusual quality of coloring 
of its parent but lighter in tone. Truly one of the grandest 
iris of its coloring. $12.00 
SUNSET TAN (Egelberg 1940) M. 36”. 
An entrancing, harmonious combination of soft buff-fawn 
with a pale copper-pink glow. Fine self, pinker and less 
bronze than most iris in similar color class. 1.7 
TAPESTRY ROSE (D. Hall 1942) M. 38”. 
Langorous, simply exquisite soft old rose colored blend. 
Large, well formed flowers of excellent substance on a 
strong, very well branched stem. $3.50 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36”. 
A pure self of glowing deep pink, a color that carries well 
across the garden and yet clear and delicate as a rose. The 
flower is very broad and full, copiously formed, of extremely 
good petal structure and composition. A deep shade of 
mallow pink with a coppery shading. We consider this one 
of the finest iris of its coloring and we were much impressed 
with it. $10.00 
THE ADMIRAL (D. Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper 
than medium blue but not really dark. Form is unusual. 
Falls flare in a dashing way and the finish and substance 
are outstanding. The dramatic carriage of this fine flower 
make it one of the most effective garden iris. $3.00 
THE BISHOP (Washington 1937) M. 36”. 
A smooth, long formed flower of rich Bishop’s purple. 
Blooms are carried on well branched stems. $1.00 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent iris. A vibrant red of rich plush-like qual- 
ity. Rich, rosy wine red solid to the haft. It is not the 
reddest iris but rather a sterling, gorgeously rich, deep dark 
red. Critics agree it is one of the finest iris we have. 
$1.25 
THE SENTINEL (D. Hall 1942) M. 34”. 
A brilliant copper-orange iris, like a piece of highly pol- 
ished copper. Its branching is bunched but the originality 
of coloring makes it sought after in spite of this fault. 
$3.00 
THELMA JEAN (Peck 1939) EM. 34”. 
A flaring flower with distinctive coloring, early flowering. 
A rich shade of self petunia violet with ideal, stiff, upright 
standards; crisp, broad, straight hanging falls. Very pretty 
and a novel coloring. We recommend it. $1.50 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) ML. 37”. 
This is about the largest plicata of the Los Angeles type. 
Satiny white with buttonhole stitchings of bright yet deli- 
cate blue. 50c 
THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) M. 38”. 
This glowing old rose-pink blend with very broad flowers 
is ruffled pleasantly. The pleasant color has a mellow tone 
and the flower is highlighted with an overlay of rosy-copper 
and bright blue center to the falls. Long blooming season; 
stems are short branched. $10.0 
THREE SISTERS (DeForest 1941) ML. 30”. 
Primrose yellow standards and crimson lake falls, sort of 
midway between a variegata and a white and rose amoena. 
In very hot weather the standards fade to white giving a 
near red and white combination. Slightly tender. $3.00 
TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Smooth, clear-cut plicata, differently and stylishly as- 
sembled. Standards creamy colonial buff with more white 
cast falls both speckled and sprinkled light golden brown. 
Carries as a buff cream in the garden. $5.00 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose or deep pink 
stitching on a yellow background. The pattern is a most 
pleasing one. There is a freshness about this yellow plicata 
that makes it one of our favorites among the yellow pli- 
catas. 60c 
TISHOMINGO (Caldwell 1942) ML. 38”. 
An out-of-the-ordinary iris. A large, clear wistaria blue 
ranking as one of the best. A flower of crispness, firm sub- 
stance and texture. $8.00 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) M. 34”. 
Stiff, horizontal flaring flower with rigid upright stand- 
ards give this iris a crisp effect. A unique color, a golden 
tobacco brown, a lighter shade than most brown iris. 
$8.00 
TOP SERGEANT (Kirkland 1941) ML. 34”. 
Almost pure self red-brown. Falls velvety and slightly 
deeper in tone. It is particularly well thought of and praised 
in the south. It has nice garden habit being especially effec- 
tive as a clump. $5.00 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937) ML. 36”. 
A massive flower of a rich shade of vivid yellow. The 
pure golden tones are untarnished by any flaw or flecking 
that appear as a shortcoming in others at times. Tall 
stems, moderately branched, hardy, it is a highly meritori- 
ous variety. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) EM. 40”. 
A rich blue blend of electrifying blue punctuated and 
edged iridescent old gold with a strong orange beard. 50c 
VARESE (Williamson 1935) ML. 35”. 
A brilliant red-purple of fine globular form. A vigorous 
grower and very effective in the mass, lovely color. 50c 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. 38”. 
A sonorous and imposing purple self. Rich and majestic, 
broad built with heavy substance and silky texture though 
heavy rather than velvety. A valuable addition to the vio- 
let class. $5.00 
VEISHA (Whiting 1943) ML. 33”. 
Bright copper rose blend with a dashing blaze of blue in 
the center of the fall. Medium sized flowers of very good 
pup ance and good color value that holds its brilliance very 
well.
