“Blowers prom the Wilds of Missouri” 
IRIS 
GAY ORCHID (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $7.50 
Large orchid self with flaring falls. A tangerine beard gives it 
added life and color. It is a beautiful variety for indoor arrange- 
ments. Early to midseason. H. C. 1947. Height 36 inches. 
GAYOSA (Williams, 1943) Each $1.00 
M. A rich and brilliant golden yellow iris, whose standards and 
falls are slightly ruffled. 
GAY SENORITA (Salbach, 1944) Each $1.00 
Standards deep honey yellow, falls golden yellow ground color, 
heavily overlaid deep brown with deeper brown veining. Harly 
midseason. 40 inches. 
GENTLE FLORENCE (C. C. Taylor, 1947) Each $3.00 
Similar in color and shape to Snow Flurry; better branching. 
H. M. 1947. 
GIBSON GIRL (Gibson, 1948) Each $3.00 
M. 37 in. A new and lovely plicata of soft apricot yellow with 
rich heliotrope markings. 
GILT EDGE (Whiting, 1941) Each 75c 
M. Delightfully distinct, this creamy, pale yellow iris with full 
standards and wide hafts. Falls the same but outlined clearly 
with an edging of deeper gold. 38 inches. 
GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting, 1947) Each $3.00 
M. L. 34 in. 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. 
GLORIOLE (Gage, 1933) Each 50c 
M. 40 inches. Huge frosty pale blue with excellent substance. 
GOLDEN AMBER (Sturtevant, 1937) Each 50c 
M. 33 in. Soft amber yellow overlaid old gold. Orange beard. 
Slow to increase. 
GOLDEN CATARACT (Met.-Dys., 1936) Each 50c 
VE. 24 in. A good sized deep yellow on a short stalk. The very 
first of the tall bearded to bloom in our whole field. 
GOLDEN COACH (Heller, 1948) Each $2.00 
Midseason to late. 38 inches. A very deep flaring yellow with 
striking brown veins which takes the eye of the average flower 
lover. 
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 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 beautifully 
ruffled, huge in size, tall and a good grower. 
GOLDEN HELMET (J. Sass, 1933) Each 40c 
35 in. A variegata with ruffled bronzy yellow standards and falls 
of ox-blood or Morocco-red. Orange beard. 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn, 1934) Each 40c, 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. 
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 RUFFLES (C. C. Taylor, 1946) Each $4.00 
Huge smoothly finished yellow that catches the eye immediately. 
Not as ruffled as the name implies, but plenty nice. H. M. 1946. 
GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall, 1946) Each $3.50 
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 SPANGLE (Cassebeer, 1944) Each $1.50 
Domed yellow standards, clear white falls with heavy gilding 
on border of rich yellow. A brighter Golden Fleece type. Very 
showy. H. M. 1944. 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting, 1940) Each 50c, 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 50c, 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 hun- 
dreds of varieties. 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $2.50 
M. 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. 33 inches. 
GRACE MOHR (Jory, 1935) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
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. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
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 75c, 3 for $1.50 
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.
