Deep Velvet (Salbach 1939) A very large, rich deep red violet. Standards and falls 
nearly the same color, with the exception of the falls at the haft are a rich 
blackish red purple shading to frosty claret brown. 38”. $1.00 
Desert Song (Fay 1946) Nicely proportioned cream iris of large size with a light airy 
ruffle. Flowers are a cream self. The large flaring and ruffled flowers are of 
nice proportion and bloom over a very long season. The haft is without reticula- 
tions and the beard is yellow. The stalk is very strong, well branched and 40” 
tall. Midseason. Winter hardy. $10.00 
Display (Grant 1942) A beautiful new red toned iris, dark and rich; more of a self, 
than most reds. Rich and brilliant. The perfect smooth color bloom without 
any veining at the haft, is one of the darker, rich reds, a highlight in the garden. 
A fine iris close to true red. $1.59 
Distance (Cook 1946) A silvery light blue, smooth in finish and very evenly colored. 
Distinct and a worthy addition to the blues. The flowers are large, of pleasing, 
flaring form. The segments are smooth except for a slight waving at tip of falls. 
Heavy substance and satiny texture. Whitish beard, fairly inconspicuous. Light 
blue color overcast with silver. 36”. $9.00 
Dore (J. Sass 1935) Here is an iris that is popular with us. The standards are a 
lovely yellow and ruffled. The falls are a creamy white, 37”. 50c 3 for $1.25 
Dreamcastle (Cook 1943) A very lovely pure orchid-pink done to perfection. A near 
white beard emphasizes the solid orchid-pink coloring. The flower is full with 
domed standards and falls of exceptional width, full and rounded. This gives 
the flower an extraordinary full and billowy effect. $7.50 
Eleanor Roosevelt (Sass-McDade 1933) This variety was awarded the Hutcheson 
Gold Medal for the best fall blooming iris of the year. It is a deep flourite purple 
self of fine carrying power and in addition to its fall blooming characteristic, it 
has given a full months blooming season in the Spring. Rather dwarf grower. 58e 
Elmohr (Loomis 1942) <A very rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr. Unlike its 
parents it is a strong grower and the flowers are large and of very good sub- 
stance. A mulberry purple might be a better description of the color. The stems 
are at least three feet tall. You will like this one and find it a worthy addition 
to your iris collection. Excellent branching habit. $1.00 
Elsa Sass (H. Sass 1939) Here is a lovely light yellow that is outstanding. An en- 
tirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur with a greenish cast in its depths and 
a near white blaze near the haft. The blooms are large, slightly frilled at 
edges. 36”. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
Exclusive (Grant 1937) Late bloomer 38”. A distinguished light biue iris quite 
different from other blues. A light blue color which is of great purity, overlain 
with a silvery mist producing a “powder blue” or French blue effect. This serene 
iris of opulent oval form and enamel-like finish is a most reposeful color. 40c 
Fair Elaine (Mitchell 1938) Standards are almost cream while the falls are an 
emphatic yellow set off with a most fiery orange beard. This and Elsa Sass are 
truly distinct innovations in the field of yellow iris. . 40”. 75¢e; 3 for $2.00 
Fantasy (D. Hall 1947) Lovely rose and orchid toned pink, distinctive and quite dif- 
ferent in color from the flamingo pinks, but it is of the same breeding as the 
flamingo’s and has the tangerine beard. The well formed, above medium sized 
flowers have good substance. Well branched, stout 30” stems. $20.00
