During the past fifty years I’ve seen the ‘’Flags’’ of my mother’s garden 
develop into the gorgeous beauties of the present-day Iris border. 
Hybridizers have performed miracles undreamed of yesteryear. To- 
day’s Iris rival Orchids in the delicate blending of their exquisite color 
combinations. 
Most Iris bloom before the opening of the Lily season. I’m offering a 
selected list believing many of you will find them welcome. It is re- 
gretted so few can be shown in color but descriptions will have to suf- 
fice this year. Please rest assured, these are the cream of recent 
introductions. You will like every one. 
DAYBREAK-—1 860-A huge Iris produced here in Oregon by the famous 
hybridizer, Dr. Kleinsorge. The enormous blooms are golden pink with 
a slight undertone of copper. Perfect form, slightly ruffled. Most 
appropriately named. One of the top Iris of recent years. Each $5.00. 
WABASH-2053-Among the most popular Iris of the decade. Pure 
white standards, rich velvety deep purple falls bordered white—one of 
the most striking of all Iris. Very tall, beautifully branched, blooming 
profusely with slightly ruffled blossoms. 1940 Dykes Medal winner, 
the highest award in the Iris world. Each $1.00, three for $2.75. 
RANGER-1994-Another of Dr. Kleinsorge’s hybrids introduced in 
1943. An almost true crimson red, dark but very bright. A decided 
self with long cone-shaped closed standards and wide falls of glossy 
velvet. Bronze-orange beard on a brown toned haft with little vena- 
tion. Truly a symphony in red. Very late blooming, almost the last, 
but free flowering on well branched stems. Very large flowers on 36- 
inch stalks. Each $6.00.
