GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) M. 38”. 
Enormous flowers! ‘This Iris along with Wm. A. Setchell and 
a few others, are the titans of the Iris world. Surprising 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 look for all the world 
like a big cigar. he color is a light golden russet shade. 
This probably is the largest Iris we grow. HM’47. $5.00 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36”. 
Deep, gorgeous dandelion yellow with a brilliant heavy or- 
ange beard. A very fine Iris with oval formed flowers, large 
size and excellent substance. More valuable in the North than

GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38”. * 
An exquisite creamy yellow Iris with an outpouring of rich 
golden orange all about the central portion of the flower. 
An Iris of elusive charm, its loveliness seems to lie principally 
in its shimmering silkiness of texture and in the subtle in- 
fusion of golden light throughout the center of the flower. 
The beard is bright orange. Shown on page 37. HM’36. 
AM’38. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 33”. 
Bright mustard-gold self, broad flowers, wide in both the 
standards and the falls. A sister to the famous Bryce Canyon 
and Chamois, it is more a shade of rich old gold. HM’47. 
$3.00 
GRAND CANYON (Kileinsorge 1941) M. 38. * 
A subtle deep colored blend of plum, copper and gold with 
center brightened by a gold beard and throat. An Iris that 
is best when admired at close range. Shows wonderful play 
of colors planted in the half shade, and an admirable Iris 
to bring indoors. Its coloring is very remininiscent of the 
famous scenic canyon it was named after. A fine illustration 
on page 25. HM’43. AM’44. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40”. * 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1942, this is one of the famous 
light blues. Of splendid mien with a pronounced flare; stiff, 
crispy petal texture, it is strikingly fine. Stately stems of per- 
fect branching. Rugged and hardy, we highly recommend it. 
Present day pre-eminence and popularity attest this Iris’ all- 
around value; fragrant. See page 37 for illustration. AM’40.

A warm orangy cast variegata with copper-gold standards and 
solid chestnut-brown falls. Imposing stems, a vibrantly col- 
ored Iris. It brings to this class a warmth of coloring many 
of the other varieties lack. HM’45. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
GYPSY BARON (Schreiner 1942) EM. 40”. 
Unusual because of its unique marbling and striation of 
mulberry-purple on a crisp, silvery white background. It is

fied and mysterious plicata of splendid substance; fragrant.

A warm tapestry red, tall and stately, with a smooth brushing 
of copper at the haft and a hint of blue at the tip of the 
heavy yellow beard. The blooms are extra large and broadly 
round in form so it ranks as one of the largest Iris. Well 
branched on strong stems. HM’49. $6.00 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944) M. 38”. * 
A recent orchid-pink self with great style and individuality. 
The flowers are large and substantially built, slightly waved. 
A fine creation, there is a liquid quality to the coloring. It is 
one of the very finest Iris of its color and a vast improvement 
over old orchid-pink Ivis. Floriferous and makes a lovely 
clump. See color illustrations pages 2 and 27. HM’45.

HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) EM. 36”. * 
The illustration of this Iris aristocrat shows the superb form 
and beauty of coloring of this supreme light blue. One of 
the finest of all new Iris. An ethereal clear light blue, the 
large, rounded and ruffled blossoms give a feeling of tran- 
quillity, serenity and repose marking it as a top notch Ivis 
indeed. Beautifully spaced branches on correspondingly har- 
monizing stems. A Queen in the Iris Greats. Illustrated on 
page 9. Dykes Medal Winner in 1949. $8.00 
HONEYFLOW (Tompkins 1944) ML. 38”. 
A blend of rose and golden clay tones with a subtle brushing

of extra heavy substance; fine branched stems. HM’46. 
$5.00 
HONOLULU BELLE (Becherer 1949) ML. 38”. * 
A sharply contrasted blue bicolor, a color class that has suf- 
fered neglect by breeders. Light blue-lilac standards and rich, 
velvety deep blue falls with velvet sheen, a pattern of lux- 
uriant beauty. In addition to its brilliant color pattern this 
Iris has branching of perfect candelabra placement. Very 
individual and beautiful. $7.50

IDANHA (Kleinsorge 1942) EM. 36”.

buff with pleasing pink falls. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ILLINOIS SUNSHINE (Faught 1946) E. 38”.

INDIANA NIGHT (Cook 1942) ML. 38”.

a rather slow grower for us. HM’42. AM’44. $2.50 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant 1937) M. 37”. 
A rich true purple, large sized, a self. Good substance and 
fine oval form. A thrifty grower and good propagator. Un-

with unusual carrying power. AOc; 3 for $1.00 
My iris I received from you were beautiful this spring. I think you 
are the most reliable people I have ever dealt with. I started my garden 
in “29, was sixty years then, now eighty and do all the work in it.”
