GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) M. 38”. 
Enormous flowers! This Iris along with 
Wm. A. Setchell, and a few others, are the 
titans of the Iris world. Surprising size. 
Imagine a single Iris bloom measuring 7 
inches high and 9 inches across. The buds of 
Golden Russet, most singular in appearance, 
measure 6 inches and look for all the world 
like a big cigar. The color is a light golden 
russet shade. This probably is the largest 
Iris we grow. $7.50 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36”. 
Deep, gorgeous dandelion-yellow with a bril- 
liant heavy orange beard. A very fine Iris 
with oval-formed flowers, large size and excel- 
lent substance. More valuable in the North 
than Golden Majesty. A beautiful deep 
yellow. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38”. 
An exquisite creamy yellow Iris with an out- 
pouring of rich golden orange all about the 
central portion of the flower. An Iris of 
elusive charm, its loveliness seems to lie prin- 
cipally in its shimmering silkiness of texture 
and in the subtle infusion of golden light 
throughout the center of the flower. The 
beard is bright orange. Shown on page 37. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 33”. 
Bright mustard-gold self, broad flowers, wide 
in both the standards and the falls. A sister 
to the famous Bryce Canyon and Chamois, it 
is more a shade of rich old gold. $5.00

Broad Petaled Orchid

GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 38”. 
A subtle deep colored blend of plum, copper and gold with 
center brightened by a gold beard and throat. An Iris that is 
best when admired at close range. Shows wonderful play of colors 
planted in the half shade, and an admirable Iris to bring indoors. 
Its coloring is very reminiscent of the famous scenic canyon it 
was named after. A fine illustration on page 12. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40”. 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1942, this is one of the finest pure 
light blues. Of splendid mien with a pronounced flare; stiff, 
crispy petal texture; it is strikingly fine. Stately stems of perfect 
branching. Rugged and hardy, we highly recommend it. Present 
day pre-eminence and popularity attest this Iris’ all-around value. 
See page 12 for illustration. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32”. 
One of the finest whites for foreground planting. A very large 
variety with shapely blooms of splendid texture. A warm white 
despite its snowy coloring due in part to the warm golden beard 
and haft markings, and in part to gold dust sprinklings through- 
out the flower. 35c; 3 for 90c 
GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) EM. 38”. 
Rich dark blue, a self without haft marking. The blue beard 
continues the pleasant harmony in a well formed flower. Deeper 
than practically any other blue Ivis yet not a purple. $6.50 

MAGIC CARPET 
Fine, Large Plicata 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) L. 38”. 
A warm orangy cast variegata with copper-gold standards and 
solid chestnut-brown falls. Imposing stems, a vibrantly colored 
Iris. It brings to this class a warmth of coloring many of the 
other varieties lack. $2.00
