NANTUCKET (Milliken) 
The falls are a deep velvety violet-carmine while the stand- 
ards are somewhat lighter. It is vigorous as a plant, and 
soon establishes good clumps—it is a bargain. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
NAVAJO BRAVE (Milliken) 
A whole bag full of unassorted genes must have been dropped 
into this plant for portions of the flower fairly glow with a mix- 
ture of gold, lavender, red and whatever colors happened to 
be left. The general impression it makes, however, is that of a 
bright bronze. 21% feet. $3.50; 3 for $9.00 
NEW ORLEANS (See Louisianas, page 26) 
NELSON OF HILLY (C. G. White.) 
Six exquisite round petals of firm substance form this flower. 
The upper three are tinted most delicately with bluish-lavender 
and they meet at the top. Next come the warm, peach-toned 
styles and then the beautiful falls which start at the haft with 
the idea of being horizontal but change their mind midway and 
turn downward, showing the beautifully peppered surface of 
cream, dotted with cinnamon and purple. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
NIGHTFALL (Hall) 
Rich, velvety dark pansy-purple falls with the color running 
well back into the flower, standards lighter. A vigorous free 
blooming variety that furnishes the needed contrast when 
planted among the lighter colors. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
NOEL (C. G. White) 
Pure in color and near perfect in every respect in this hand- 
some white iris. It is a warm white, being faintly suffused with 
cream and lighted in the center with a bright golden beard. 
The texture is like satin and the heavy, firm substance enables 
the flowers to withstand rainy weather. 
Noel is a tall iris with strong, well-branched stems and heavy 
luxuriant foliage. Warm climates only. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
NYLON (Whiting) 
A very large glistening flower of rosy buff coloring. It is 
splendid as a cut flower either in daylight or artificial light. A 
vigorous plant which blooms freely. 3 feet. 
75c; 3 for $2.00; 10 for $6.00 
OCCIDENTAL (Mitchell) 
A rich cream flower dotted with red at the base of the petals. 
The sharp definition of the stippling and the clarity of the 
colors produce a refinement which suggests fine china. Vig- 
orous, well branched. 3% feet. $2.00; 3 for $5.00; 10 for $15.00 
OLA KALA (J. Sass) 
An outstanding deep yellow self which is also pleasingly 
ruffled. The flowers are of medium size and stand up well to 
bad weather. The plants are vigorous, foliage deep green. 3 
feet. See color illustration, page 13. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.50; 10 for $16.00

OLD CRANBERRY (Milliken) See 1949 Introductions, page 3. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge) 
A translucent ivory-tan flushed with buffy gold. A large 
flower, well shaped and firmly built, which lasts for a long 
time. The plant is vigorous. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
OPERA CAPE (Milliken) 
If this variety is well grown it produces exceptionally large 
shapely flowers of a deep blue-violet. They are so sumptuous 
that they make a wonderful companion for pale yellows, 
buffy-yellows, or peachy toned varieties. Chrysolite, Arctic, 
Sunset Cloud, Melitza and Remembrance are some of the va- 
rieties which come to mind for companionship. 2% feet. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.50; 10 for $16.00 
OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge) 
Large flowers in shades of brown and gold. Some of the 
lighter brown portions have a beige cast. A very attractive 
iris. 3 feet. $2.00; 3 for $4.50; 10 for $12.50 
ORMACO (Kleinsorge) 
This grandson of William Mohr is a large flower of rusty 
violet coloring. For flower arrangements where these sombre 
tones are needed it will contribute dignity. 2 feet. $1.50 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge) 
Giant flowers of a uniform grey-lavender veined violet, al- 
most 40 inches tall. A faint rosy glow envelops the entire 
flower and unlike its well known parent, William Mohr, it 
has a tall stem that branches near the top and is evidently 
perfectly hardy and easy to grow. 50c; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.50 
OVERTURE (Hall) 
One of the famous Flamingo pinks—lovely pale pink with 
striking tangerine beard. Substance and form exceptionally 
good. Hardy. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
OYEZ (C. G. White) 
A stunning little jewel of a flower with round, straight- 
flaring petals of firm substance and fine texture. The ground- 
color is white with bold, precisely laid veins of red-purple. 
Used as a table decoration, this flower is sure to create a sen- 
sation. $1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $10.00 
PAINTED DESERT (Milliken) 
A flower which has brought to life the brilliant coloring of 
part of the Arizona Mesa. The colored reproduction is the best 
description of the results. The plants are strong, the stalks well 
branched. 4 feet. See illustration, page 16. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00; 10 for $15.00 
PALE MOONLIGHT (Hssig) 
Large stately flowers of pale blue, uniform throughout, car- 
ried on tall sturdy stems. The standards are four inches high, 
the falls slightly flaring and four inches long, and the beard a 
bright orange. For mild climates, 4 feet. See illustration, page 
20. 35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75
