FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 9 
DUTCH BOY (G. Douglas 1949) V.E. Here we have a very 
early blue-white that is thoroughly hardy and a dependable 
bloomer, a feature that is lacking in most of the early whites. 
We have tested Dutch Boy for five years, both in the North 
and the South, and it has always bloomed profusely. The 
flowers are blue-white changing to cool white under hot sun, 
but always remaining crisp and firm. Tall, it has almost per- 
fect branching (four branches and terminal), and the full yel- 
low beard is an added attraction. A worthy iris to commence 
the pageant of tall bearded iris. 38 in. $5.00 
EASTER CANDLE (Essig 1946) M. This large flowered iris 
is well named for it is a tall and stately white with a heavy 
gilding of rich yellow in the throat, so glowing that it seems 
as if it were a brilliant lighted candle. The highly domed 
standards are pure white, the falls are semi-flaring of white 
with yellow lightly brushed down on the hafts. Tall well 
branched stalks. 48 in. $2.00 
EASTER GOLD (Essig 1946) M. L. A smoothly finished 
flower of medium yellow with firm substanced flaring flowers. 
Well branched stalks. H.M., A.I.S. 1946. 40 in. $2.00 
ESQUIRE (Lothrop 1945) M. L. Tall and commanding, this 
deep blue purple iris is as dark as Brunhilde (one of its 
parents) but with better form and taller. The flowers are 
crisp and firm with a smooth sheen over all that adds to 
its beauty. Large blooms on 4 way branching stalk. H. M., 
A. 1, S.1947. 45 in: $3.50—3 for $9.00 
ETOILE D’OR (G. Douglas 1943) M. Pure deep yellow self 
with firm texture and sparkling finish. The standards are 
domed and firmly held. The falls are semi-flaring with an 
overlay of deeper yellow that gives a velvety lustre to the 
bloom. H.M., A.I.S. 1943. 38 in. $2.00—3 for $5.00 
EXQUISITE (Nesmith 1947) M. It is a self of light Congo 
pink (Ridgway), the color intensified by the pink beard and 
deeper styles and crests. The standards are domed, and 
firmly held by the strong midrib. The falls are semi-flaring, 
and the absence of reticulations brings out the smooth wax- 
like finish of the flowers, while the very pink buds give added 
charm to the whole effect. Three way branching stalks.

the edges. The flowers are long lasting, and the stalks 
sturdy. 18 in. $5.00 
FANTASY (D. Hall 1947) M. Charming and unusual, this 
orchid lavender has a most pleasing combination of color. 
The standards are orchid lavender, well domed and closely 
held. The semi-flaring falls are slightly deeper in color with 
a heavy golden yellow wash on the upper part, extending 
well into the throat. The tangerine beard gives a luminous 
quality to the flower. H.C., A.I. 8.1944. H.M., A.I.S. 1947.

FAR HILLS (J. Wills 1949) M. Cool and refreshing is this 
large orchid pink self. Deeper in color than Dreamcastle, it 
is larger and has no haft venations to mar the smooth firm 
finish. The flowers have broad domed standards and full, 
slightly ruffled falls. The many flowers are well spaced on 
sturdy stalks with good branching thus giving a long season 
of bloom.38 in. $5.00—3 for $12.50 
FRANCELIA (McKee 1944) M. A very bright chrome yel- 
low, yet there is a depth of color that gives it a rich mellow 
tone. The standards are roundly domed and firm. The 
semi-flaring falls are broad and full, enlivened by the 
orange beard. Heavy substanced flowers on well branched 
stalks. H.C., A.I.S. 1942. H.M., A.I.S. 1944. 38 in. $2.00 
FRANCONIA (Graves 1942) M. Cool and classic as white 
marble the large flowers have exceptionally smooth firm tex- 
ture and are carried on strong stalks that have ideally spaced 
branches. The standards are well domed with strong mid- 
vib. The falls arched and flaring and in perfect proportion 
to the standards. H.C., A. 1. S. 1941. H. M., A. I. 8. 1942.

FRANK DRAKE (Grant 1947) M.L. A cool reverse bicolor 
with standards of Reed yellow (Ridgway) completely domed

with a generous overlay of Chartreuse gold surrounding the 
beard of the same color. Well branched and vigorous growth. 
9 in. $2.00—3 for $5.00 
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 trom venations and most colorful in the garden. 
Free flowering, well branched. 38 in. 3.50 
GAYLORD (G. Douglas 1949) V. L. SOLD OUT FOR 1951 
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. $6.00 
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.., 
Me AL Sh ABV, BX aba $1.50 
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. 465 in. $2.00—3 for $5.00 
GOLDEN RUFFLES (Taylor 1946) E.M. A clear yellow of

the new orange and yellow iris this rather late flowering vari- 
ety merits the attention of all iris enthusiasts that are look- 
ing for a near perfect yellow. The standards are broad and 
very firmly domed. The falls are flaring, broad and increasing 
in rounded form at the tips. Beard and styles same color as 
the rest of the flower. A deep aureolin self (R.H.C.) with a 
remarkably smooth finish, devoid of any venations and with a 
velvety flush on the falls.. Well branched. 40 in. $10.00

of the color, and it is one of the largest flowers in existence. 
Tall with vigorous growth, it is spectacular in the garden.

GOLDEN SYMPHONY (Horton 1944) L. An unusual com- 
bination of color that is most intriguing. The standards are 
brilliant yellow; the falls heliotrope bordered with the yellow 
of the standards. Late flowering, with good branching.

GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) M. This is a sister seedling 
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 edges. H.M., A.J. 8. 1947, 33 in. $2.50
