MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig 1937). 
In white irises it is difficult to draw 
the line between white whites, blue 
whites and cream whites. I would 
say Mount Washington is a white 
white although it has a yellow beard. 
A stately iris. Each $1.00. 
MRS. BROWN (Lothrop) (Sunland x 
Chula Vista). To fill the need for a 
brown iris I am listing this. The 
standards are tan, the falls brown. 
Good stalk, good substance, flat falls, 
nice bright beards, not bad, custo- 
mers like it. Each 50c. 
NARADA (Brehm) (Purissima) x 
(Bruno x El Capitan). Very large, 
heavy substanced flowers on tall 
stalks. Another iris that is particu- 
larly effective in clumps. Medium 
blue. Each 75c. 
NECHO (Lothrop) (Esteban x Modoc). 
A border iris that I have been selling 
for years under number (E.M. 4). A 
smallish red iris of finest texture. 
Each 50c. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge) 
(Treasure Island x Far West). A tall, 
large light blend. Each $1.00. 
OLD ROSE (Salbach) (Marquita x 
Monodnock) x (Dark Knight). A tall 
rose-red. It is blooming too much (or 
not increasing enough) so I will not 
be able to offer it for sale this year. 
I suggest Quinque to take its place. 
ORMACO (Kleinsorge) (Ormohr x 
Aztec Copper). A smooth blue and 
brown blend which resembles slightly 
the oncocyclus. Large flowers on 
short stalks. Each $1.00. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge) (Wm. Mohr x 
Anakim). Large blue flowers. One of 
the most attractive of this family. 
Each $1.00. 
PAINTED DESERT (Milliken) (China 
Maid x Chosen). Well formed flowers 
on tall branched stalks. The colors of 
this blend are the subdued colors seen 
on the desert. Painted Desert has pol- 
len and bears seed. Each $10.00. 
PATRICIA (Sass 1939). The ideal 
white iris for the border or where a 
low growing white iris is desired. 
Charmingly ruffled and very white. 
Each $1.00. 
PERSIA (Ayers 1929). There does not 
seem to be a modern iris to take the 
place of Persia. It has silvery gray 
standards tinted lavender and falls 
much deeper and bluer. An interest- 
ing iris for the breeder to play with. 
Each 35c. 
POLLY (Williams) (Sweet Alibi x 
1% onco). The oncocyclus does not 
show in this iris unless it is in its 
distinct shade of blue. The color is 
smooth without veining and the 
branching is wide. This is the true 
variety from Dr. Williams. Each $1. 
PURISSIMA (Mitchell) (Argentina x 
Conquistador). The first of the fine 
tall white irises and still one of the 
best. Although called “tender” it has 
been largely used in the East in iris 
breeding. Each 35c. 
PURPLE PRINCE (Dysart) (4 Crim- 
son King). Supposed to be a repeater 
it has not been very reliable in that 
respect in my garden. However, it is 
a charming small dark purple iris on 
a slender branched stalk. A formal 
flower with a tidy beard. Desirable 
for the border or for arrangements. 
Each $1.00. 
QUINQUE (Lothrop) (Miss Sally x 
Brown Betty). A tall and good rose- 
red blooming early and long. Popular 
in the garden. Each $1.00. 
RANGER (Kleinsorge). A deep rich 
red with large flowers on short stalks. 
Each $6.00. : 
RED AMBER (Loomis 1942). A nice 
rose red. Not tall. Each $4.00. 
RED VALOR (Nichols) WJoycette x 
Red Robe). One of the best and red- 
dest of the red irises. Large flowers. 
Stalks could be taller. Each $4.00. 
REFUGEE (White) (Naranja x Incog- 
nito). A buff yellow with slick sur- 
face and distinctive form. There is a 
marked inner lighting from the red 
beard. Each $3.00. 
REGAL BEAUTY (Milliken) (27 Av- 
ril x Tenebrae) x (Sir Michael). This 
has the striking contrast seen in the 
iris Sir Michael but this is a better 
iris. The standards are light violet- 
blue and the falls are purple. Each $1. 
RIC (White) (Copper Luster x Brown 
Betty). A rich brownish blend. Late. 
Reliable. Each 50c. 
RUTH POLLOCK (Sass 1939). Until 
recently this has been the most deeply 
colored of the yellow plicatas. An at- 
tractive ruffly flower. Each $1.50. 
SAN FRANCISCO (Mitchell) (Con- 
quistador x Parisiana) x (Esplendido). 
A tall large flowered white plicata. 
The petals decorated with lavender. 
Each 35c. 
SAN GABRIEL (Dean) (Mesopotam- 
ica x Crimson’ King). Tall, up to six 
feet, and perfectly branched. A lovely 
clear shade of mauve. Very early. 
Each 35c. 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933). This is 
a very lovely plicata with shining 
petals edged with a soft shade of 
pink. Each 40c. 
SHERIFFA (White). A cross between 
pogon and oncocyclus irises. The color 
is plum purple with a brush stroke 
of electric blue at the end of the 
beard. Each $1.00. 
SHINING WATERS (Essig). Still one 
of the best blues. Each 35c. 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig) (Mad. Gaudi- 
chau x Santa Barbara). This iris re- 
ceived the Dykes Medal years ago 
and deserved it. Tall stalks and beau- 
tiful flowers with distinctive finish. 
Slightly deeper in color than Shining 
Waters. Each 35c. 
SIERRA SNOW (Kleinsorge) (Sdlg x 
Far West). A beautiful late flowering 
white iris. Good late white irises are 
rare. Each $1.00. 
SKY MAID (Walker) (Purissima x 
Pacific). A clear, medium blue iris on 
tall stalks. Flaring falls and firm 
standards. A lovely new iris. Each 
$1.00. 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm). One of the 
best of the cream irises. Each $1.00. 
SNOW FLURBRY (Reese) (Purissima x 
Thais). Large, crisp, very ruffled 
white flowers. It practically has no 
branches, the flowers are pressed 
close to the main stalk. Each $1.00. 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1929). This new 
pink is a definite color break. Each 
$7.50. 
SPRING MEADOW (Milliken). A two 
toned deep blue with velvety falls. A 
reliable bloomer and blooms for a 
long time. Each $1.00. 
SPRING SECRETARY (White) (Fi- 
esta x Chosen). A bright gold, laven- 
der and yellow blend. A lovely iris. 
Each 50c. 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland 1935). A 
charming border iris. The plants are 
smothered with attractive small flow- 
ers in blended tan, gold and lilac. 
Each 35c. 
SUNBONNET GIRL (F. E. Taylor) 
(Purissima x Colonial). The domed 
standards of this adorable flower are 
pure white and the falls are creamy 
yellow. I do not know any other iris 
oe this arrangement of colors. Each 
$1.00. 
SUNDART (Walker) (Purissima x 
Dauntless). Thirty-nine inches tall 
with good branching. Standards are 
clear light lemon yellow and the falls 
are white with lemon yellow in the 
haft. Striking planted in front of 
shrubbery, outstanding anywhere. A 
good doer. Each 75c. 
SUNGOLD (Milliken) (Loudon x New 
Albion) x (Lady Paramount). A very 
large smooth light yellow self. Begins 
blooming early, completes one crop 
and immediately begins another. The 
first stalks are likely to be crooked 
because of the change of temperature 
between night and day but the sec- 
ond lot of bloom come with good 
straight stalks. Each 50c. 
SUNSET HAZE (Milliken 1043). A 
smooth misty pink self. A very beau- 
tiful iris—right in every way. Each 
$1.00. 
TAWNY PEARL (F. E. Taylor) (Wel- 
come x Nene). It should be tall with 
that parentage but it is not. The flow- 
ers are large and perfectly formed. It 
is a light blend with pale tan stand- 
ards and falls brushed with a tint of 
brown. Different. Each $1.00. 
TEAL (Lothrop) (Dorothy Dietz x 
Spring Memory). A very tall bi-color 
with large flowers, standards tan 
tinted lilac. Falls purple with a blaze 
of electric blue near the beard. Each 
50c. 
TENAYA (Essig) (Alcazar x Gaudi- 
chau) x (Cardinal). A rich and vel- 
vety red-purple. Old, but still good. 
Each 35c. 
THREE SISTERS (DeForest). The 
standards are smooth yellow and the 
falls are reddish brown. A _ very 
smooth variegata. Each $1.00. 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge) (Az- 
tec Copper x Yellow Sdlg). One of 
the most striking of all irises. Large, 
firm, flaring flowers with flat petals. 
The color is copper brown. Most un- 
usual. Not tall. Each $7.50. 
TOKAY (Nichols) (Midgard x Mary 
Gibson). A darling little salmon pink 
flower on slender stalks. Perfect for 
cutting. Each 35c. 
VAL (Brenan) (Brown Betty x Mauna 
Loa). Particularly graceful in the 
poise of its flowers. Standards are 
clear, pale lavender with shining sur- 
face. Falls tinted darker and have 
the typical, decorative veining of 
Brown Betty. Has a fine stalk. I no- 
ticed the lower branch was also 
branched. Everyone admires Val. 
Each $3.00. 
WABASH (Williamson) (Dorothy 
Dietz x Cantabile). Pure white stand- 
ards and rich purple falls. I believe 
this is the best true amoena ever pro- 
duced. It is reliable and a good doer. 
Each $1.00. 
WESTLANDER (Essig). A rich pansy 
purple iris. The standards are lighter 
and bluer than the falls, which are 
Son velvety. A lovely thing. Each 
WHITE SPIRE (Milliken). The tall- 
est of the white irises. Five feet tall 
with perfect branching. Large flar- 
ing flowers with beautiful finish. A 
high class iris in every respect. Par- 
entage not known. Each $1.00. 
To all orders for bearded irises that 
amount to $5.00 or more will be added 
a root of Hills of Gold without charge.
