Matula Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A very beautiful blend that is extremely difficult to describe. One of 
the best American authorities says: “A magnificent pink blend as seen 
at Sass’ and alsewhere.’’ A prominent grower says: “A warm rosy tan 
and gay cast of blended apricot-rose.’’ We describe it as a pink and 
apricot blend, but more on the pink. 
May Day Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A stunning apricot-orange, a luscious color with an overlay of copper. 
Nice orange beard. Tall branched stems, good substance, a distinctive 
color. A perfectly charming and distinct Iris of great merit. 
Melitza Each $1.75 
A new variety that has received much favorable comment. Standards are 
a delicate ivory-pink; the falls are of the same coloring with a slightly 
deeper flush around the beard, which is intense pinkish tangerine. It is 
fine in every particular: color, branching, vigor of growth, etc. 40 inches. 
Ming Yellow, Each $1.50 
One of the largest, stateliest yellows, Ming Yellow is well substanced and 
branched, and blooms are carried with an easy grace. Large, clear, rich, 
smooth yellow evenly toned, thick substance. A worthy addition. 
Missouri Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Very fragrant. Awarded the Dykes Memorial Medal, highest international 
honors for 1937, as the outstanding Iris of the year. A large flower of 
true deep blue coloring and form, with flaring velvety falls and excellent 
substance. Has every good quality. Height 44 inches. 
Mme. Louis Aureau Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This heavily dotted and sanded Plicata from Cayeux is a rival of the 
series now so popular from the Sasses. It has a ground color of silvery 
white, closely netted with rosy heliotrope. A very large blossom. 
Mountain Sky Each $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
The bluest of blue Iris. A uniform, soft blue; there is a suffusion of 
yellow in the center of the flower which intensifies the blue as well as 
adds a warm glow. The standards and falls are wavy and very sub- 
stantial. There are many flowers on a strong stem and Mountain Sky 
is an excellent grower. It is tops in blue Iris! An English Iris expert 
wrote of Mountain Sky: “I like this better than any Iris | have ever 
seen.” The flowers are exquisite. Apart from its beauty, two of its 
outstanding points are long lasting qualities, either against bad weather 
or when used as a cut flower, and its fine perfume. There is nothing 
better in our opinion than Mountain Sky. 
Mount Cloud Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A tall, clean and clear-cut white flower with smooth, polished substance. 
Veining at haft accentuates the pureness of this beauty. Considered 
one of the best and hardiest of the new white Iris. 
Each $1.75 
Old Parchment 
A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color break 
and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and closed; falls 
flaring and rather tailored in appearance. A perfectly huge bloom, 
heavy of substance, and the longest lasting variety in our garden. 
Ormohr Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
One of the most outstanding Iris. The color is a very pleasing shade of 
manganese violet, heavily veined cream and dotted deep violet. The 
standards are big and gracefully domed; falls semi-flaring, broad and 
round. Substance of flowers is excellent and they withstand rain, heat 
and wind without apparent harm. Blooms freely and grows well. 
Pallida Dalmatica, Princess Beatrice Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
This is the true type of Pallida Dalmatica and still one of the most 
attractive and atictacteny all around varieties. Standards and falls of a 
clear lavender-blue shading to a pale silvery blue at the base and 
sweetly scented. Unusually heavy glaucous foliage. 
Pink Opal Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A fine, tall, large, uniform pink-toned Iris. 
Carly lowering Niniature Iris 
IRIS PUMILA 
These hardy, dwarf Iris are one of the most inexpensive, long-lived 
edging plants in cultivation. They multiply rapidly, bloom profusely, 
require no care but can be counted upon to take care of them- 
selves. They have in miniature form all the characteristics of the 
tall Bearded Iris. They begin to 
flower in April and continue well 
into May. They are hardy every- 
where and, as said before, excel- 
lent for edging and borders or 
walks. The autumn-flowering va- 
rieties may be used for the same 
purpose as described above. 
*Atroviolacea 
Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Wine colored; very dwarf, free 
blooming. 
*Excelsa Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A splendid pale lemon-yellow; 
very free. 
*Sambo Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Dark violet-blue; very distinct 
and showy. 
*Schneecuppe 
Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A large, showy, pure white; very 
floriferous.

Tris Pumila, Excelsa 

Prairie Sunset Each $3.00 
All that has been said about this gorgeous creation is true, but it 
simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings of peach, apricot, 
rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at a loss to describe 
it in ad manner that might be conceived in the mind of the listener. A 
fine big flower, and the color will absolutely stun you when first you 
see it, and every time you see it! Dykes Medal, 1943. 
President Pilkington Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
Large, of bold form, well branched, many buds to stalk, and medium 
tall. Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with falls of soft 
violet faintly edged silvery brown. The elegant dignity of this gives it a 
charm that is difficult to describe. Midseason. 40 inches. 
Rosy Wings Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1939. A blending of soft amber-brown, 
red and pink with a conspicuous orange beard, makes this one of the 
fine Iris of today. The flowers are handsome, and when lighted by the 
sun, sparkle with life. Very conspicuous in any collection. 
Shah Jehan Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A multi-colered Iris with seven distinct colors, but of great refinement 
notwithstanding its lavish colors. It is considered by many as one of the 
greatest achievements of Iris development. Standards soft creamy 
buff, flushed soft lavender and suffused gray, fading to almost pure 
white as the flower ages. Falls deep, rich ruby-red with a Vg-inch white 
border. This is but an inadequate description of this very fine Iris. 
Sheriffa Each $1.00 
New onco-bred from California which is perfectly hardy. It has tall 
stems reaching 3 feet or over, with several very large flowers per stalk. 
Color is very rich and brilliant metallic violet, with distinct blue blaze 
on the falls 
Shining Waters Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Four to five feet. Early. Very sweet fragrance. On close inspection the 
surface seems to be studded with tiny jewels, giving an unusual sparkle. 
A uniform, clear sky-blue, of a most delightful shade. 
Sleepy Hollow Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Handsome iridescent, rich, velvety, deep violet flowers. A stunning deep 
color note in the garden; regardless of its depth the color carries well. 
Grows about 2 feet high, excellent foliage and blooms freely. This 
fine variety will be used in great numbers because of its exceptionally 
good landscape qualities. 
Snow Flurry Each $2.00 
The handsome flowers are strikingly frilled and ruffled; this applies to 
both falls and standards. The effect is charming, giving the flowers a 
sort of dancing effect. The pure white blooms are faintly flushed with 
blue which creates a cool, icy effect. We consider Snow Flurry one of 
the finest of the new Iris. 
Tiffany Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Almost a ‘‘must’’ in any Iris planting because of its distinct, handsome 
markings and shading. The flower is large, the yellow ground is edged 
with dots and dashes of rosy red. The central portion of the falls is a 
clear yellow, while the standards are more completely marked. An 
attractive change from the usual coloring. 
White City Each $3.00 
Immense flowers of silken blue-white with a flush of Plumbago-blue 
around the heart of its stiff, stalwart bloom. Crisp finish and ice-cold 
effect of the blooms is very striking. 
William Mohr Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
The foliage and leaves of William Mohr are always small but the blooms 
are simply immense. The ground color is pale lilac, standards flushed 
darker, the whole flower beautifully veined manganese-violet. Substance 
and shape of the very best; a very large flower, actual measurements 
showing standards 314 inches by 234 inches and falls 3 inches by 2 
inches. Stems strong and rigid. Rhizomes naturally small. Early. 
Cfutumn lowering Sris Pumila 
Flowering Two or More Times Each Season. Excellent for Edging. 
These autumn-flowering Irises have two or more normal flowering sea- 
sons each year. They blossom in the spring along with other early flower- 
ing varieties and again in the autumn, beginning in September and con- 
tinuing until killed by heavy frosts. Some of them also flower intermittently 
throughout the year. 
Autumn Queen Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This is a reliable spring and fall bloomer. A pure snow-white. It 
belongs in almost the same class 
as Jean Siret and Lieut. Chavag- 
nac so far as size and height are 
concerned, but is a little larger 
and a little taller. 
Coerulea Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Early blooming. Bright sky-blue. 
Jean Siret 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This variety and Lieut. Chavagnac 
are the most persistent bloomers 
of the Iris family. They begin to 
flower quite early in the spring 
with the earliest miniatures and 
have a long spring flowering sea- 
son. They also have an equally 
long autumn flowering season. 
Clear chrome-yellow. 
Lieut. Chavagnac 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
A new everblooming, fragrant, 
violet colored variety, with the 
same qualities as Jean Siret. The 
two go well together.

Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This is @ good cream _ colored 
spring and fall bloomer. 
Sapphire Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00

taller than the others offered.
