The Indispensable TABLE Iris—For

bloom with the Talls, but have shorter stems. The ideal consists of small 
flowers, gracefully arranged on slender’ stems; particularly adapted to table 
decoration. Rhizomes small. 
LODESTAR (Hall 1925) M—24"’.A variegata so striking one of 
our enthusiasts picked this as his favorite Iris. Standards bright yel-

low; falls contrasting dark scarlet. $1.00 
* SISKIN (Williamson 1934) 28’. A dainty, pleasing flower in 
clear light yellow. $1.00 
Highly Useful BORDER Iris 
Low Counterparts of the Talls 
A type of Iris seldom cataloged, but deserving great popularity. These 
are the ‘somewhat shorter” Tall Bearded varieties, sometimes classed with 
Intermediates. However, these are not ‘intermediate’ in bloom, but come 
on with the ‘’Talls’’. Even more appropriate than tall kinds for many small 
gardens, for special nooks, front edges of larger gardens. Just the thing on 
elevated terraces, for their lower stature prevents their flowers from coming 
at too high a level. Flowers of some varieties fully as large and as fine as 
in the Talls. Chromosome number 24, 36 or about 48, not 44 as in true 
Intermediates. 
* * ROSE PEARL (Salbach 1944) E-M—28”. So large and fine 
often classed with Tall Bearded Iris, but usually under 30’, so we 
group it here to help you plan. A perfectly delightful bitone. Just 
imagine standards in opalescent ivory pink; 
gilded gold. Remarkably long blooming period, often from early 
April to mid-May. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
* * COPPER ORANGE (Salbach 1941) M—20”. By far the 
most brilliant Border Iris we know. Standards intense coppery 
orange; falls closely approaching scarlet. Not generally available, 
so probably has never been grown in your locality. Be the first to 
display its vivid coloring. $1.25; 3 for $3.25 
* CAPRICE. M—20’’. An intense, deep lavender pink. Very 
floriferous. Grape fragrance. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
NO-WE-TA (H. P. Sass 1932) M—28”. A true pink self, flushed 
yellow. As welcome as its Indian name signifies. Arched and frilled. 
24 chromosomes. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
* GOLDEN FLARE (Insole 1931) M—28". A blend of flaming 
rose and gold, prominent orange beard, giving effect of bright salmon 
orange. Medium sized flowers in abundance. 35c; 3 for 90c 
SPRING DELIGHT (Salbach 1940) LM—24’’. A smaller edition 
of the famous GOLDEN FLEECE. Standards bright yellow; falls 
white bordered yellow. 35c; 3 for 90c; 12 for $3.25

The SPRING and AUTUMN Bloomers 
No Iris Garden Complete Without Some of These—Shipped in Summer and Fall 
Perhaps you did not know that there are Bearded Iris that bloom as usual in the Spring, THEN GIVE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE IN THE FALL. And 
if you knew this, did you also know that whereas these used to come only as low growers, now many TALLER ONES ARE APPEARING? So we divide our 
offerings by height. Fall bloom is naturally more regular in warm southern gardens than in cold northern ones. 
But much depends upon the treatment you 
give them. With all orders for these we include our special cultural hints giving several ways to encourage autumn bloom, even in the north. 
The Taller Autumn Iris 
* * SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) 30°. Generally classed 
with Tall Bearded Iris. Such a persistent fall bloomer with us, we 
put it here so those searching for the choicest autumn bloomers 
will find it. Jacob Sass’ one supreme seedling among thousands 
bred from PRAIRIE SUNSET. Standards pure bright orange; falls 
reddish copper, edged orange. Has pollen; sets seed. Already we have 
some dandy seedlings from this. Now only— $4.00 
* HALLOWEEN NIGHT (Weed 1943) 36”. The last 2 years 
this has appeared on the scene for us just in time for ‘All Spooks” 
Night. Among the tallest of the fall bloomers, festively arrayed in 
bright lemon yellow, intricately veined in golden brown. As many as 
17 blooms per stalk. $2.50 
* * POLAR KING (Donahue 1939) 38’. For northern latitudes 
no autumn bloomer is so dependable as the hardy POLAR KING. 
We have reports of its blooming in Massachusetts 5 falls in suc- 
cession. Not only tops for fall bloom, but in spring it will outclass 
any other pure white, except for some of very recent origin. Starts 
in early spring, keeps blooming till late spring; then blooms again 
in late fall. $2.00 
AUTUMN FLAME (H. P. Sass 1941) 35°”. A fall bloomer that is 
sensational in height, size and color. A huge wine-red bitone, with 
fine weather-resisting substance. Fragrant. $2.50 
*x * AUTUMN SUNSET (Lapham 1939) 32’. Here flows the 
blood of champions, for this was bred from two DYKES MEDAL 
winners, ROSY WINGS and RAMESES. A thrilling blended pink, 
bringing a new color to reblooming Iris. Reduced to— $2.00 
KANSAS INGLESIDE (Hill 1943) 32’. A new warm-toned bronzy 
red with flaring falls. HONORABLE MENTION ‘47. Reblooms 
auite late in the fall. $1.00 
The Lower Autumn Iris 
* GLAD SONG (H. P. Sass 1942) 24’, With a flourish of trum- 
pets comes this first of yellow ground plicatas into the reblooming 
class. From that master breeder of fall bloomers, H. P. Sass. Bred 
from the famous TIFFANY. $2.00 
BOUNTIFUL BLUE (Hill-son 1942) 10’. Some call this blue, but 
we consider it dark blue violet. Quite striking. Gives a bountiful 
supply of flowers in spring, late summer and fall. $1.25 
* * SOUTHLAND (H. P. Sass 1934) 22’. The only relatively old 
variety that we consider sufficiently outstanding to merit our double 
stars. Usually listed as an autumn bloomer; but for us it has flow- 
ered, despite repeated snowstorms, from early December ‘til April, 
the amount of winter bloom varying in different years with the 
coldness of the season. On the whole, it has given us so much off- 
season bloom, we heartily recommend it for any climate where it 
will have half a chance. In very.cold regions we suspect it may 
flower only in spring, but even so, it will give you a grand display 
of brightest yellow. We'll be glad to have reports on its behavior in 
various parts of our great land with its highly diverse conditions. 
It won‘t cost you much to try it. 
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT (Sass-McDade 1933) 26’. Intense violet. 
Often 4 weeks of bloom in spring, plus 6 weeks in the autumn. 
50c; 3 for $1.25

den but is reported from the East as being the most persistent of 
fall blcomers. Light chrome yellow, washed violet.
