WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the giant Iris blooms. Simply gargantuan violet self. 
Surprisingly good substance for such a mammoth flower. 
Heavy branched stems. Individual blooms measure 6 inches 
across and 7 inches high! VAs 
WILLIAM MOHR (Mohr 1925) EM. 30”. 
A huge, exotic lavender closely netted over all with a fine 
purple veining. Grow this cross-bred Iris in the hottest spot 
you have selecting a well drained area and working a few 
limestone chips into the soil. 35c 
WINSTON CHURCHILL (Stevens 1944) ML. 32”. 
A red close to crimson, it gleams with jewel-like luster. 
A deeper red than most, the color and texture are very fine. 
The standards are a glowing red, the falls more crimson 
velvet with a rich gold beard. A striking red Iris from that 
fine New Zealand breeder, Mrs. Stevens. $7.50 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 38”. * 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in form as it is 
pure in color, tall snow-white. One of the most beautiful 
white Iris. The pronounced flare of the stiffly substanced 
flower reminds one of a piece of stiffly starched material. 
Flowers are very large, nicely proportioned, giving the flower 
the feeling of elaborate styling. A lavish gold throat regally 
caps its pure beauty. One of the best whites in the garden, 
perfectly hardy, free flowering and prolific. Dlustrated on 
page 25. HM’42. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WORTHINGTON (Cook 1943) M. 36”. 
Strong and clear, bright rosy red that carries very effectively. 
A harmonious bicolor, the colors are all pleasingly clear and 
bright; good form, nice size, smoothly textured and heavily 
substanced. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ZANTHA (Fay 1947) EM. 35”. * 
A gorgeous shade of golden yellow and amazingly large flower. 
Winner of the President’s Cup for 1947. Freshly opened 
blooms are so luxurious they almost take one’s breath away. 
In time of extreme heat the bloom may be inclined to be a 
bit soft. For a blaze of color it knows few equals and we 
doubt if it has a superior. HM’47. $7.50
