beard of the same color. Well branched and vigorous growth. 
39 in. $4.00—3 for $8.00 
FRANK PUGLIESE (Lapham 1947) M. This iris might be 
described as a more red and glowing Christabel, and even 
more of a self. The standards are so deep that they seem 
the same shade as the lustrous falls. The whole flower is 
very free from venations and most colorful in the garden. 
Free flowering, well branched. 38 in. $5.00

that continues to hold its place among the newer ones of

GAYLORD (G. Douglas 1949) V. L. The A. I. S. members 
that stayed a day or two after the Nashville meeting were 
treated to a great show in this very late blooming Amoena, 
and I quote from the description of it by Mr. E. G. Lapham 
in the July A. I. S. bulletin; “But at the last it was a great 
terrific Amoena (635D) that made a last minute entrance 
to steal the show. A very large affair that seems to have 
everything, shape and substance, stalk and vigorous growth. 
The standards are white, the falls have a reddish violet tinge 
to the deep blue with but a hairline of white edging, beauti- 
fully ruffled and flared to perfection”. Wide hafts and 
thick orange beard. A very free bloomer with three branched 
stalk. H.M. A.I.S.1949. 40 in. Sold out for 1950.

GENERAL PATTON (Kleinsorge 1947) M. L. The intro- 
ducer of this iris considers it one of the best from Dr. Klein- 
sorge. Brimming with color, this copper brown self has a 
metallic undertone that brings out the rich tones of the 
flower. H.M., A.I.S.1947; 39 in. $10.00 
GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting 1947) M. L. 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. 34 in. $3.00 
GOLD BEATER (Kleinsorge 1944) M. Solidly colored 
chrome yellow self. It is a very bright deep yellow without 
marking of any other color. The buds are especially at- 
tractive on account of their intense coloring. The large 
flowers are well spaced on excellent branching stalks. H. M.. 
A.I. 8.1945. 36 in. $2.00 
GOLDEN EAGLE (D. Hall 1942) M. A large yellow with 
a satiny finish. It has a particular quality that seems to put 
life and brilliance into a light yellow and yet there is no hint 
of orange or amber in it. H.C., A. I. S. 1941. H. M., A:-I.S. 
1942. 36 in. $1.00 
GOLDEN EPAULETS (Grant 1946) M. L. A white and 
gold iris of extremely heavy substance, full rounded form 
and as smoothly finished as a piece of polished ivory. The 
standards are broad and very firmly held; the falls are full 
and flaring and the heavy flush of gold on the haft is as trim 
and precise as the epaulets on a uniform. 38 in. $2.50 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) M. A well known iris of 
cool lemon cream intensified by deeper lemon at the haft 
and around the edge of the falls. The graceful ruffled form

GOLDEN MORN (Essig 1946) E. M. A warm yellow with 
flaring form somewhat after the style of Easter Morn but 
of larger size and more firm texture. Its beauty is enhanced 
by the infusion of deeper glistening gold throughout. A 
striking flower with a most refreshing fragrance. Wide 
branching, sturdy growth. 45 in. $3.00—3 for $7.00 
GOLDEN RUSSET (D. Hall 1946) M. The name is descriptive

ground definitely edged with lavender pink. Well branched 
stalks. 38 in. $1.00

of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, and while not quite as tall, 
its brilliant color and floriferousness more than make up 
for this. A rich mustard gold self with wide domed and 
ruffled standards. The flaring falls have a banding of cop- 
per on the fluted edges. Beard dull gold. Good branching. 
H. M., A. 1.8. 1947. 33 in. $3.00

eream and gold iris has been tested in many parts of the 
country, and has proven to be a hardy dependable iris. The 
large, full flowers are rich cream in color, the falls lightly 
bordered with deeper yellow and the center of the bloom is 
lighted by a rich yellow beard. A very handsome iris with ex- 
cellent garden valus. Vigorous growth. 43 in. $10.00 
GREEN PASTURES (Heller 1947) L. Pale chartreuse yellow 
flowers of large size and most unusual color. The touch of

the cool green tones of the bloom. Tall and free flowering, it 
is especially nice for flower arrangement. H. C., A. I. S. 1945.

in their pigment, this one is much more blue than any very 
dark iris that I have seen. H.C., A.I.S, 1945. H.M., A.1.S.
