Sylvia Murray (Norton 1944) A cross of shining Waters and Great Lakes. Lighter 
in color than either of the parents and with a silvery smoothness of pale-blue 
silk. Enormous flowers on 40’ stems. A really grand, blue iris. $2.25 
Tally-ho (D. Hall 1949) The general color of this iris is something new and unusual. 
The falls are close to the deep coloring seen in fuchsia-colored orchids. The 
domed standards and lower part of falls is somewhat lighter. Large, well formed 
and of heavy substance. 32”. $12.00 
Tapestry Rose (D. Hall 1942) Here is another lovely introduction by Mr. Hall. 
The flowers are large and of a soft old rose carried on well branched, stout 
stems. Form and substance are good. 38”. $1.00 
The Admiral (D. Hall 1941) Here is really an exceptionally fine blue iris. An 
effective, intense blue that is a little deeper than medium blue. Mr. Hall considers 
this as near to the standard of perfection as any iris he grows and we heartily 
approve his recommendation. The falls flare in a dashing manner; the finish and 
substance are outstanding. There is no variety grown that will take more 
punishment from the burning sun and driving rain without fading or losing form 
than “The Admiral.” A truly remarkable origination. $1.00 
Tip Top (Hall 1947) A striking and unusual color combination. The standards are 
a solid violet blue and the falls white, with a very delicate peppering of blue 
in the throat and on the edges of the falls. Medium sized flowers have a clean, 
crisp appearance. Well branched. Substance and form good. 30”. $4.00 
Velvet Dusk (Schreiner, 1948) Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
color of that family of darks. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. Bloom is full, well-flared and rounded. Has a dull bluish-brown 
beard that is in fitting harmony with balance of the flower. 36”. $7.50 
Violet Symphony (Smith 1940) Midseason. There is a quiet beauty in this gleaming 
violet self, with a slight bronze blush at the haft. Flowers are very large and 
precisely formed, 40”. 75¢ 
Wabash (Williamson 1936) Probably the most outstanding anemone of today. 
Standards are white and the falls hyacinth violet with a very definite white 
margin. This gives the flower a striking contrast that is both pleasing and 
attractive. 39”. 50c 
West Point (Nicholls 1938) A perfectly 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 flowers. Late blooming. A magnificent iris well 
worth a place in any planting. 38”. 50¢ 
Zantha (Fay 1947) A very large clear deep yellow. Winner of the President’s Cup 
at the 1947 Iris meeting. Because of its clear sparkling color and extremely 
large flowers this variety is one of the finest yellows. 37”. $7.50 
Zua (Crawford 1914) Here is an intermediate iris of real charm and beauty. It isa 
sport of Florentine according to iris check list. The general effect in coloring 
is a light lavender that is most attractive due to the creped substance of the 
petals. It can easily be mistaken for an orchid when used as a corsage. Has a 
pleasing fragrance. 75e; 3 for $2.00
