GLEN ELLEN (Conn., 1939) M. L. Each 50c 
A very large flower of creamy golden tan with an overtone of 
light apricot-copper H. M., 1939. 38 inches. 
GLORIOLE (Gage, 1933) Each 50c 
M. 40 inches. Huge frosty pale blue with excellent substance. 
GOLDEN EAGLE (D. Hall, 1941) H. M., 1942) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
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 75c, 3 for $2.00 
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. 
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, 3 for 75c 
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 $4.00 
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 40c, 3 for $1.00 
A splendid clear slightly wavy deep yellow with a conspicuous 
thick orange-yellow beard. A very popular variety. 3 feet. 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) 
Each 40c, 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. 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) M. Each $4.00 
Bright mustard gold self, broad flowers, wide in both the stand- 
ards and the falls. A sister to the famous Bryce Canyon and 
Chamois, it is more a shade of rich old gold. 33 inches. 
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 50c, 3 for $1.00 
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 50c, 3 for $1.00 
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. 
GRECIAN ROBE (Heller, 1948) Each $10.00 
In 1945 Mr. Heller received H. C.’s on three wonderful very tall 
bearded Irises, namely Grecian Robe, Green Pastures and Gold 
Brocade. Since then all three have been fully tried and tested 
in various parts of the United States under different climatic 
conditions and these have repeatedly won blue ribbons when 
displayed at various Iris shows. Of the three, Grecian Robe has 
the most perfect flower and widest falls. It is aptly named 
since it is a creamy white with decided gold borded on the edges 
of both falls and standards. Midseason. 48 inches. 
GREENGLOW (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $10.00 
Here is the Iris the “fans” of green have wanted. It is a very 
large flower, wide of parts. There is some ruffling in the flow- 
er, however, the falls are not flaring. This is really a white 
Iris, but there is a strong suffusion of greenish-chartreuse over 
the entire flower, but more of the color in an outpouring over 
the falls at the hafts. It has very good quality, height, branch- 
ing, substance and that certain something (charm, personality) 
that will appeal to those who like the unusual. Midseason. 40 
INCHES Ele Cpl O4 Ss. 
GREEN PASTURES (Heller, 1947) Each $15.00 
A chartreuse yellow Iris of rare beauty and charm. The touch 
of blue at the beard is most effective and the whole flower has 
a distinctly green tone. The bloom extends over a long season, 
each flower lasting several days. Midseason. 
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. 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $1.50 
L. 38 inches. A warm orangy cast variegata with copper gold 
standards and solid chestnut brown falls. Imposing stems, a 
vibrantly colored iris. One of the most promising variegatas 
we have seen in several years, it brings to this class a warmth 
of coloring many of the other varieties lack. 
GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $5.00 
M. L. 38 inches. Tall and stately, a warm hellebore red with a 
smooth brushing of copper at the haft and a hint of blue at the 
tip of the heavy yellow beard. It is tall and beautifully branch- 
ed with strong stems that take all weather. Well substanced, 
rounded flowers. 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell, 1934) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
40 inches. Happy Days are surely here for iris fans when so 
fine a yellow as this can be had for so low a price. One of 
the largest and best of the medium light yellows—a credit to 
any garden. Tall, beautifully branched, hardy and free bloom- 
ing. 
HARVEST MOON (Whiting, 1944) Each $1.00 
A luscious apricot blend, the flowers large and rounded, with 
full, wide petals of extra heavy substance. Almost as fine as 
Mellowglow and very much the same color. 
HELEN FITZGERALD (Thorup, 1948) M. L. Each $12.00 
Huge lobelia violet self. Beautiful under artificial light or in- 
doors. H. C., 1947. 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves, 1946) Each $7.00 
Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the sensation of the 
iris world the year of its introduction. Of perfect form, flaring 
and daintily ruffled, very large, beautifully spaced on _ nice 
stems, it is not only supreme as a light blue but ranks as one 
of the best of all new irises. H. M., A. I. S. 1946. 
HIWASSEE (Becherer, 1946) Each $1.00 
Large lilac pink bi-color from Mr. Becherer. A lovely thing 
indeed. Well branched, sturdy. 
HIT PARADE (Hall, 1947) Each $7.00 
Another flamingo pink, with some ruffling, good form and sub- 
stance. The color is lighter than Courtier and slightly deeper 
than Floradora, and has the characteristic tangerine beard.
