FARCHOSS (White). In foliage and 
in flower it shows regelia-oncocyclus 
ancestry. The flewer is dark with a 
blackish sheen. Growth is healthy and 
increase and flowers plentiful. Each 
$1.00. 
FLORENTINE (Cayeux 1937). Lovely 
blue and white plicata. One of the 
prettiest. Weather resistant. Each 
$1.00. 
FORT KNOX (Milliken) (Sungold x 
Chosen). This yellow is near perfec- 
tion. In form, in poise, in clarity of 
color, in stalk and arrangement of 
branches, in substance and texture, 
it is tops. Each $2.00. 
FORTUNE (Kleinsorge 1941). A short, 
but richly colored gold iris having ex- 
cellent form. Each $1.00. 
FRANK ADAMS (Lapham) (Rameses 
x Jerry). A tall large iris with yellow 
standards and crimson falls. Quite 
good. Each 60c. 
FULL MEASURE (DeForest) (Sdlg x 
Jean Cayeux). A medium sized flower 
on slender, well branched stalks. Dark 
yellow. Nice. Each $1.00. 
GANGWAY (White). A bright, large 
yellow that-sells on sight. Each $1.00. 
GIFT (Lothrop). Moa is in the parent- 
age of this flower and here again isa 
bicolor. The standards are gray tinted 
with mild purple with the accent on 
the gray. The falls are rich red velvet 
—the darkest red in the garden. No 
reticulation. Prominent orange beards. 
Each $1.00. 
GIPSY KING (White). A remarkable 
plum-red iris of firm, compact form. 
It is a sister of Sheriffa but does not 
have the long falls of that variety. 
Tall branched stalks. A good per- 
former. Outstanding in the garden. 
Each $3.00. 
GLOWPORT (DeForest). Short, small- 
ish, very dark red. Late. A nice bor- 
der iris. Each 50c. 
GOLDBEATER (Kleinsorge) (Sdlg x 
Far West). An exceptionally good 
deep yellow. Three feet tall, well 
branched. Most Oregonians do not 
seem to like Southern California but 
this one at least has its manners with 
it and does all that is expected of 
irises. Each $7.50. 
GOLDEN CATARACT (Metcalf) 
(Crimson King x Mirasol). This iris 
began blooming in my garden last 
October and has bloomed continu- 
ously ever since. A fresh lot of stalks 
is pushing up right now and this is 
the 15th of April. Flowers are of good 
size and are bright yellow. The tex- 
ture is not the finest but with such 
mass production there is not time to 
polish them off. Each 35c. 
GOLDEN LIGHT (Sass 1933). This is 
a choice little number in bright red 
and yellow—the kind arrangers are 
looking for. Each 50c. 
GOLDEN MADONNA (Essig) (Sdlg x 
Dykes). Large flowers on tall stalks. 
This is one of three super cream col- 
ored irises. The other two are Chry- 
solite and Snoqualmie. Golden Ma- 
donna: Each $1.00. 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Galbach) 
(Dauntless x Dykes). This has been 
something of a gauge by which other 
yellows have been measured. If they 
are as good as Golden Majesty they 
are good. Each 50c. 
GOOD TIDINGS (Lothrop). I am list- 
ing this because it is another neglecta 
and out of Moa. It is a good iris and 
might be helpful in the quest for 
amoenas. Each 50c. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge) (Trea- 
sure Island x Far West). In Oregon 
this is a striking copper, plum and 
gold blend but it has not been happy 
in alterna: Each $1.00. 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1940). This 
does bloom for us here in Southern 
California but not happily as it does 
in Oregon, where it is simply superb. 
The tall graceful stalks carry beauti- 
Ati light lavender-blue flowers. Each 
1.00. 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell) (Sdig x 
Dykes). A tall, large and showy yel- 
low. Each 35c. 
HARMONETTA (White). One of the 
new and remarkable blues. The sub- 
stance is astonishing it is so thick and 
heavy. The flowers are large on good 
stalks. The color is a light shade of 
blue lavender with a paler tint near 
the beard. One of the choice late 
irises. Each $12.00. 
HER GRACE (DeForest) (Purissima) 
x (Alta California x King Midas). It 
is light blue with a pinkish cast. A 
lovely blend. Each 75c. 
HILLS OF GOLD (Lothrop) (Sunland) 
x (Sdlg x Bruno). This yellow iris 
made a good showing in Mrs. Waters 
Cincinnati garden ahd it always 
makes a good showing wherever it 
is. Flat falls with a velvety appear- 
ance. Tall, graceful stalks. Good sub- 
stance. Has pollen and sets seed. In- 
creases too fast so I am offering it at 
$1.50 Each, 
HONOR BRIGHT (White) (Purissima 
x ?). It has everything necessary for 
a superior white iris. It looks very 
white but there are fine yellow veins 
in the haft and a good yellow beard. 
Each $1.00. 
ICY BLUE (Weed 1940). A nice, crisp, 
pale blue. Each $1.00. 
IOLITE (Lothrop). In breeding for 
dark irises this bloomed in 1940. Rich 
in color with velvety falls, no reticu- 
lation, and plushy dark beard. It has 
been a favorite in the garden. 34” 
tall, well branched. Each $1.00. 
JANICE IRENE (Lothrop) (Aurifero 
x Dykes) x (Persia). This has the 
beautifully branched stalk of Auri- 
fero with flowers in tailored style. 
The standards are light blue and the 
falls are lavender. It makes a lovely 
combination. Each $3.00. 
JINEEN (Reibold) (Mad. Gaudichau x 
Santa Barbara). Neither of Jineen’s 
parents are particularly tall or large 
but Jineen is both. Nine inch flowers 
and not terribly coarse. The color is 
darker than Sierra Blue but not so 
dark as Sable. Really outstanding. 
Each 50c. 
LADY GRACE (Lothrop) (Purissima 
x Erebus). Flaring, perfectly formed 
white flowers on tall, slender, grace- 
ful stalks. Although delicate in ap- 
pearance it is remarkably weather re- 
sistant. Each 50c. 
LADY MOHR (Salbach). A recent ar- 
rival of one of the Mohr family. I 
believe it is the first pale complex- 
ioned member of the family, and it 
has a taller and better stalk. The 
standards are light lilac color and the 
falls pale greenish yellow covered 
with fine purplish veins with a few 
surprising emerald green veins here 
and there. The beard is wide and 
scanty. Each $20.00. 
LANCASTER (Cook) (Sdig x E. B. 
Williamson). A large attractive pink 
but in my garden it is too short. Each 
$2.00. 
LORA (Lothrop). This small neglecta 
is in demand by arrangement fans. 
Standards are pinkish gray with sil- 
very sheen. Falls rosy purple with 
margins to match the standards. A 
clump in the border is a delight. Each. 
50c. 
a = 
LORI MAY (DeForest (Lighthouse x 
Salar). A pinkish blend. Each $2.00. 
LOS ANGELES (Mitchell) (Conquis- 
tador x Parisiana) x (Esplendido). An 
old iris but a really good blue and 
white plicata. There is a touch of 
brownish red in the haft that makes 
it ared, white a blue iris. Each 35c. 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936). Another 
old and good iris with rich, velvety, 
brown-purple falls. Blooms so late 
that many garden visitors never see 
it. Each 50c. 
LUCERNE (Salbach) (Sdlg x Eleanor 
Blue) x (Shining Waters). Makes an 
effective clump because of its many 
branches on which bloom many flow- 
ers. Deeper in tone than Sierra Blue. 
It is one of the best sellers. Each $1.00. 
MANOAH (Lothrop). This is another 
by-product in my delving for a dark 
iris and this has them “all beat” for 
fine lustrous texture. It is just super 
but it is only 34 in. tall. Each $1.00. 
MARQUITA (Cayeux 1931). Large, 
cream colored flowers with heavy 
reddish veins on the falls. Short 
stalks. Late. Each 50c. 
MARY E. NICHOLS (Nichols) (Valor 
x Lucero). This iris inherits its beau- 
tiful texture, which is its most nota- 
ble characteristic, from Kashmir 
White, one of the parents of Lucero. 
Mary E. Nichols is a beautiful white 
iris decorated in the haft with gold. 
Each $1.00. 
MAUNA LOA (Berry) (Conquistador 
x Alcazar). A tall, popular reddish 
iris that blooms early in Southern 
California. Each 35c. 
MELANIE (Hillson 1941). A good 
rose-pink iris. Few veins. Each $2.25. 
MELITZA (Nesmith 1939). Not much 
for color but its beards stand out 
both far and near. A good doer but 
I find her a little stingy about pass- 
ing on her pink beards. Each $1.25. 
MEXICO (Kleinsorge 1943). A very 
colorful red with a minimum of any 
other color. Flat falls, well branched 
are Short in my garden. Each 
5.00. 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach) 
(Dauntless x Desert Gold). Tall well- 
branched stalks with large pinkish 
purple flowers. Coarse but effective 
in clump for landscaping. Each 50c. 
MISS SALLY (Salbach) (Miss Cali- 
fornia x California Gold). A good iris 
on. 36” stalks. Color is in shades of 
rose and old rose. Reliable. Each $1. 
MOLASSES (White) (Dauntless, Mir- 
asol, Hourensis, Pink Jadu and Susi- 
ana have all had a share in the par- 
entage of this variety.) It is not tall 
and it has faults of form but it cer- 
tainly catches the eye of all visitors. 
Texture is unusually fine and falls 
are very rich. Color of the standards 
is dark molasses brown and the falls 
are red-brown velvet. Bright orange 
beards add their bit to this colorful 
iris. None for sale this year. 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomie 1937). One 
of the prettiest pinks but too short 
in my garden for the size of the oa 
flowers. Each $1.50. 
MOUNTAIN SKY (Milliken 1939). A_ 
beautiful light blue. It is not quite so 
light as Helen McGregor nor so deep a 
as Shining Waters. In Bole tone it AS, 
very blue. Each 75c. 
MOUNT CLOUD (Milliken) (Rajput aie 
x Easter Morn). Rajput, which is one 
of Miss Sturtevant’s irises, had very 
fine texture and for that reason Mr. 
Milliken used it a good deal at one 
time. He captured the bests” mit 
ris. Each ‘Bbc.
