FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill, 1940) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
H. M., A. I. S. 1940. A vision of restless beauty radiates from 
this dramatic red iris, really glowing with warm tones of red- 
brown and peach red. Flowers are large and well formed. 
FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass, 1942) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
M. 40 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1942. Exotic in color is this dis- 
tinctive iris of pale cameo pink shading into hafts of deeper 
rose and brilliantly intensified by a vivid red beard. 
FORT KNOX (Milliken, 1941) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Smooth light golden yellow of good branching, substance, and 
growing habit. Midseason. 40 inches. 
FORTUNE (Klein, 1941) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
M. 32 inches. Old gold shadowed with rustic red brings out the 
rich Florentine coloring in this iris. Of large size and broadly 
spreading form. 
FORTUNES FAVOR (DeForest, 1944) Each $4.00 
M. 36 inches. Ruffled giant of glistening tan with an overlay 
of rosy lavender on the broad falls. Heavy orange beard. 
FRANK ADAMS (Lapham, 1937) Each 40c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 45 inches. Maize-yellow standards; deep rose falls; tall, 
vigorous, floriferous. Flower, stalk and foliage all boldly pro- 
portioned. A grand iris. 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr, 1926) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
M. L. 42 inches. Large lilac rose with a gay, semi-flaring form 
and capitvating color that has added charm to gardens for 
twenty years. 
FROSTED GLASS (Becherer, 1943) Each $1.00 
Palest opalescent cream with frosty finish. A fine thing from 
Mr. Becherer. 
FULL MEASURE Each $1.00 
A large deep yellow iris of distinction. Very tall and very high- 
ly spoken of. 
GALLANTRY (Whiting, 1945) Each $5.00 
M. 38 inches. Copiously composed full broadly rounded blooms 
of medium blue. Very intense coloring for this shade. A self 
with widely flaring falls, nicely spaced branching. The fine size 
and the enveloping overall effect of this uniform rich blue 
marks it as a very fine iris. 
GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass, 1941) Each $1.50 
A very deep rose-mahogany, if you can imagine such a color. 
Called red by some judges, it is nearer garnet, with a deep rose 
and brown area about the center. It has no haft markings, 
making it one of the richest and most handsome of all dark 
irises. Large, with very broad falls, and it blooms quite late. 
H. M., A. I. S. 1940, A. M. 1943. 
GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, 1943) Each $5.00 
M. L. 30 inches. Pure, deep rich Bordeaux red with dark beard. 
Smooth, even color throughout, with no haft markings. 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter, 1936) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
L. 38 inches. Glowing red, rich and vivid, with good form and 
substance, blooming late. Slow to increase, it is nevertheless 
one of the grandest reds. There is never enough stock. 
GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting, 1947) (M. L. 34 in.) Each $4.00 
A novelty among the light chrome yellows. The flowers are 
very large, widely flared, ruffled and of heavy waxy substance. 
On account of its low branching with the lower blooms opening 
first, it is ideal for flower arrangement. 
GLORIOLE (Gage, 1933) Each 50c 
M. 40 inches. Huge frosty pale blue with excellent substance. 
GOLDEN EAGLE (D. Hall, 1941) H. M., 1942) Each $1.00 
A brilliant light yellow with a satiny sheen. The largest flower 
to bloom in our gardens. It increases remarkably fast and is 
a very free bloomer. The form and substance of the flowers 
are good and the 38-inch stems are strong and well branched. 
GOLDEN FLARE Each 30c 
30 inches. Awarded a silver medal by the Iris Society of Eng- 
land. An English introduction of merit in a most unusual and 
attractive blending of colors, somewhat like the famous Talis- 
man rose, but with a faint electric blue flush in the falls that 
further adds to its beauty. 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass, 1940) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Since the reader might suppose from the name that this iris 
is another deep yellow, we call special attention to the fact 
that it is actually a lemon-colored flower with creamy falls 
edged gold—wholly unlike any other yellow iris. It is beauti- 
fully ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. At Nashville, 
during the A. I. S. meeting, 1941, it stood out as one of the 
most noteworthy of all new introductions. H. M., A. I. S. 1940, 
A. M. 1942. 
GOLDEN HELMET (Jacob Sass, 1933) Each 35c 
S. Ochraceous tawny at the edge, yellow ochre at the mid-rib 
and buckthorn brown at the claw. F. Morocco red overlaid ox- 
blood red, bronze haft striped Morocco red, prominent orange 
beard. Height 35 inches. Stem low branching. A striking bril- 
liant variegata that shines in any iris planting. 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn, 1934) Each 35c 
M. 30 inches. One of the most colorful rich yellows, being a 
bright, clear buttercup yellow. Not large, it has a richness and 
depth of color possessed by few of the very newest varieties. 
Floriferous and a rapid increaser; stunning color. 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach, 1938) Each 40c, 3 for $1.00 
M. L. 40 inches. An iris of gleaming gold. Striking is this 
lovely rich yellow for its broad form and well branched stem; a 
fine color, very even and rich. A deep yellow and still a pure 
yellow. Its rounded dome form is majestic, heavily substanced. 
GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall, 1946) Each $7.00 
M. 38 inches. Enormous flowers. This iris, along with Wm. A. 
Setchell and a few others, are the titans in the iris world. Sur- 
prising 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 looks for all the 
world like a giant cigar. The color is a light golden russet 
shade. Quite possibly this may be the largest iris we grow. 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting, 1940) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
Along with Spun Gold and one or two others, this ranks at the 
very top amongst the deep golden yellows of today. It is so 
yellow, and has such a heavy orange-yellow beard, that those 
who view it for the first time are almost left gasping. The 
form is rather oval with slightly ruffled standards, and there 
are several flowers open at once. Very large, it withstands rain 
and sun alike. A novelty well worth the money. H. M., A. I. S. 
1940, A. M. 1942. 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) 
Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
Solid deep cream, but with an outpouring of rich golden orange 
all about the central portion of the flower. Tall, perfectly 
branched, very floriferous, it will stand out in a planting of 
hundreds of varieties. 
GRACE MOHR (Jory, 1935) Each 50c 
A seedling of William Mohr, with widely flaring falls and tall 
stems reaching to 40 inches. The color is not much different 
than that of Ormohr, but the flower is of different shape and 
a bit earlier. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
M. 40 inches. A. M., A. I. S. 1944. The grandeur of the coloring 
and size of this iris must be seen closely to be fully admired. 
A mutual blending of deep canyon colors, plum, copper and 
gold, with a light form of ruffling. 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each 75c, 3 for $1.75 
M. 48 inches. Dykes Medal 1942. From the lake shores of 
Canada came this pure clear blue iris with its flaring stiff 
crispy petal texture and beard of almost white. 
GUDRUN (kK. Dykes, 1931) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
Heavily textured enormous white, petals like those of a mag- 
nolia. A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard 
and a slight gold dust sprinkling over the entire bloom.
