Matula Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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 elsewhere.’’ 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 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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 $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
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 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
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 yeliow 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 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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. 
Nightfall Each $1.50: 
The falls are very velvety rich dark Pansy-purple with almost no vein- 
ing on the haft. Standards are several shades lighter than the falls, 
making a very striking color combination. Plushlike substance with a 
glistening sheen. 36 inches tall, well branched. One of the finest, if not 
the finest, of the dark Iris. 
Old Parchment Each $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
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 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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. 
Pink Opal Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A fine, tall, large, uniform pink-toned Iris.

Prairie Sunset Each $1.50 
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 a 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. 
Prince of Orange Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 - 
Solid golden orange, one of the richest things in the garden picture. 
Flowers of medium size, very flaring in form, widely spaced along the 
branching stems. A magnificent Iris which has no competitors. A must 
in every Iris collection. 
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. 
Sheriffa Each $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
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 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.50 
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 $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
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 21% 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 $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
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 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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. 
Wabash Each $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered white, 
a most striking variety. Very tall, branched above the middle of the 
staik with a profusion of large, slightly ruffled blossoms. The color plate 
on page 72 shows this popular Iris in perfect detail, Awarded the Dykes 
Medal in 1940. 
White City Each $1.50 
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 34 inches by 234 inches and falls 3 inches by 2 
inches. Stems strong and rigid. Rhizomes naturally small. Early.
