TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Smooth, clear cut plicata, stylishly assembled. Stand- 
ards creamy colonial buff with more white cast falls, 
both speckled and sprinkled light golden brown. Car- 
ries as a buff-cream in the garden. $1.50 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose or deep pink 
stitching on a yellow background. The pattern is a 
most pleasing one. There is a freshness about this 
yellow plicata that makes it one of our favorites among 
the yellow plicatas. A profuse bloomer. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) M. 34”. 
Stiff, horizontal flaring flower. Rigid, upright standards 
give this Iris a crisp effect. A unique color, a golden 
tobacco-brown, a lighter shade than most brown Iris. 
$5.00 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937) ML. 36”. 
A massive flower of a rich shade of vivid yellow. The 
pure golden tones are washed lighter cream at the 
center of the flower. Rich golden beard, tall stems, 
moderately branched, large flowers and hardy. It is a 
highly meritorious variety. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) ML. 40”. 
A rich blue blend of electrifying blue punctuated and 
edged iridescent old gold with a strong orange beard. 
A0c; 3 for $1.00 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. 38”. 
Rich and majestic, a glossy blue-purple self with a 
glossy satin-like finish. Heavily textured, broad formed 
blooms, wide spreading falls. Tall stalks carry many 
flowers. This color is always needed in the garden and 
this Iris is a reliable grower where many darks are 
less so. $4.00 
VELVET DUSK (Schreiner 1948) ML. 36”. 
Another new addition to the very dark colored Iris, 
Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
coloring of that family of darks with a rich glisten like 
the glow and sheen of a piece of black fur. The good 
sized flowers are carried on well-branched stems. The 
bloom is full, well flared and rounded. Its form seems 
as if chiseled and the sonorous dull bluish brown beard 
is in fitting harmony with the flower. Later blooming 
than Sable. $10.00 
VICE REGAL (Miles 1946) EM. 34”. 
A fine velvety bronzy red purple practically a self. We 
feel we cannot emphasize the importance of fine purple 
Iris in the garden too much. They give the depth and 
timbre to the garden composition. That is why we 
value this Iris along with such fine purples as Purple 
Moor, Master Charles and the always reliable Indian 
Hills. $3.00 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirkland 1931) EM. 39”. 
This is one of the standout Iris. Older than many of 
the varieties we offer, it possesses an individuality all 
its own. A tall and stately, deep toned lilac shade that 
is rich and glistening. It is neither pink nor blue but 
a shade midway between. It is of interest for this alone 
as most Iris are more pink or blue in cast. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith 1940) M. 40”. 
A gleaming lilac-mauve self, the individual blooms have 
a finished appearance as if precisely carved. Huge in 
size, broad petaled. A splendid Iris whose quiet beauty 
ranks it near the top of its class. A flawless flower. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36”. 
Fresh toned as any orchid is this amoena with snowy 
white standards and _ ultramarine-blue falls with 
brighter margining. The best and one of the very few 
true amoenas, it is a standout. For illustration of this 
clear contrasted flower see page 23. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
Page 30 
WAKARUSA (Lapham 1941) EM. 34”. 
Brilliant and vivid, a striking orange and bright red. 
In effect a burnt-orange bicolor with velvety falls. As 
brilliant and colorful an Iris as we grow. Always the 
center of attraction. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WASATCH (Thorup 1935) E. 34”. 
Probably the largest plicata. A stunning, broad petaled 
white flower with even buttonhole stitching of medium 
blue. Substance is excellent. AOc; 3 for $1.00 
WEST POINT (Nicholls 1938) L. 38”. 
A beautifully poised, refined indigo-blue with falls 
more intensely indigo with brownish cast at the haft 
worn like epaulets on a blue uniform. Wide, well 
formed blooms; late blooming. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
WHITE CITY (Murrell 1939) EM. 42”. 
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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith 1936) M. 38”. 
Statuesque white with beautiful domed standards. Both 
standards and falls lightly ruffled. Large flower whose 
glistening white blooms and yellow beard are borne on 
tall, sturdy stalks. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant 1943) M. 38”. 
A white with smooth, unusual character. Porcelain- 
white with blue at the base of the beard and haft. The 
contrast of a bluish brushing at the beard is quite 
novel. A large flower. $3.50 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the giant Iris blooms. Simply gargantuan violet 
self. Surprisingly good substance for such a mammoth 
flower. Heavy branched stems. Individual blooms 
measure 6 inches across and 7 inches high. 75¢ 
WINNESHIEK (Egelberg 1931) M. 37”. 
One of the finest in the dark blue color section with 
segments unusually broad and lustrous. A touch of 
ruffling augments its graceful form. Winneshiek is one 
of the few Iris with a lighter margin on the falls, a 
feature which lends a distinctive touch. 35¢ 
WINSTON CHURCHILL (Stevens 1944) ML. 32”. 
A red close to crimson, it gleams with jewel-like luster. 
A deeper red than most, the color and texture is very 
fine. ‘The standards are a glowing red, the falls more 
crimson velvet with a rich gold beard. A striking red 
Iris from that fine New Zealand breeder, Mrs. Stevens. 
$10.00 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 38”. 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in form as 
it is pure in color, tall snow-white. One of the most 
beautiful white Iris. The pronounced flare of the 
stiffly substanced flower reminds one of a piece of 
stiffly starched material. Flowers are very large, nicely 
proportioned, giving the flower the feeling of elaborate 
styling. A lavish gold throat regally caps its pure 
beauty. One of the best whites in the garden, perfectly 
hardy, free flowering and prolific. Illustrated on page 
93. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WILLIAM MOHR (Mohr 1925) EM. 30”. 
As different an Iris as one can have—a huge, exotic 
lavender closely netted overall with a fine purple vein- 
ing. Grow this cross-bred Iris in the hottest spot you 
have, selecting a well drained area and working a few 
limestone chips into the soil. 35c; 3 for 90c 
ZANTHA (Fay 1947) EM. 35”. 
A gorgeous shade of golden yellow and amazingly large 
flower. Winner of the President's Cup for 1947. Fresh- 
ly opened blooms are so luxurious they almost take 
one’s breath away. In time of extreme heat the blooms 
may be inclined to be a bit soft. For a blaze of color 
it knows few equals and we doubt if it has a superior.
