Surprisingly Variable in Coloring. 
EARLY 
SPRING SUNSHINE (Milliken ‘47) HM ‘47 $2.50 
The largest yellow Iris to date, and by some said to be the largest Iris of 
any color. A plant of this in your garden will be the sensation of your en- 
tire neighborhood. A pleasing lemon-cream with a strong midrib. Edges of 
petals prettily serrated. Yields fertile pollen. Hybridizers should find it un- 
excelled for adding size in all color classes. Foliage nearly evergreen. 
EM—48”’. 
COLOMA (Essig ‘46) $2.00; 3 for $4.00 
An entrancing Iris named for the place where gold was discovered. Might 
have been called “White Gold,” for it is a sparkling and harmonious blend- 
ing of the two colors. General effect is pale luminous yellow, with pro- 
nounced white area in center of falls. EM—42’. 
SOUSUN (Essig ‘45) *&* HM ‘45 $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
A large glistening lemon-cream. Standards of palest yellow, falls of white, 
effectively bordered with yellow. Beard a contrasting deep yellow. Well 
branched, very floriferous. Starts blooming early, continues for a consid- 
erable period. Occasionally surprises one with another blooming period in 
October. Very fragrant. EM—36”. 
MIDSEASON 
PINNACLE (Stevens ‘49) **&* HM ‘49 $12.00 
One of the notable “color breaks” of our generation, giving us an entirely 
new and very decorative color pattern—standards in clear sparkling white, 
effectively contrasting with broad well-formed falls of smooth, even prim- 
rose yellow. The blooms are wax-like, beautifully molded, so fresh and clear 
they remind one of daffodils dancing in the breeze. Will be sought by hybri- 
dizers everywhere, as it opens up new breeding possibilities. Be the first 
to display it in your community! M—38”. 
MOTHER LODE (Essig ’46) ** $4.00; 3 for $8.00 
An Iris of large size deriving its richness and beauty from its varying hues 
of yellow. Basic color is a clear creamy yellow, along the sides of haft is a 
vivid, contrasting, deep yellow. Beard large, prominent, a deep yellowish 
orange. Makes early spring growth, so mulch in very cold regions. Delight- 
fully fragrant. Sets seed and passes its brilliant beard on to its offspring. 
M—38”. 
FROM ONE WHO HAS TRIED IT: “TI was particularly thrilled with 
Mother Lode. Its perfume is extra nice.” Mrs. Rex Crabtree, Santa Cruz, Calif. 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass ‘40) ** HM 40, AM 42, Sym. 50 $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
Jacob Sass masterpiece—celestial, pure, fit for a bridal bouquet. A bi-tone; 
standards bright light yellow; falls with a white center and yellow border. 
Introduced at $50.00 in 1940 and has been breaking sales records ever 
since. An excellent parent, used either way. Very fragrant. M-ML—40’. 
SALLY ANN—Superb large golden re-bloomer, page 12. 
MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass ‘43) HM 43, AM 45, Sym. 50 $1; 3 for $2.00 
Perfect beyond a dream, as immaculate as its name signifies. One glance 
is sometimes sufficient to convince those who see it for the first time that 
this is their favorite Iris. A clear lemon-ice color, with a frosty sparkle and 
and elusive hint of green. Pollen very fertile, even effective on William 
Mohr. M—36. 
LATE 
ST. CRISPIN (Meyer ‘39) AM, Royal Hort. Soc. '44 $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
The finest English variety among the light yellows. A delightful lemon- 
yellow, with large, bold, well-proportioned flowers. A most distinctive fea- 
ture is the conspicuous bright orange yellow beard. Sometimes reblooms in 
late fall. L—30”. 
SIERRA PRIMROSE (Essig ‘46) ** $2.50; 3 for $5.00 
A lovely new Iris for the connoisseur who revels in soft pastel tints—a beau- 
tiful primrose yellow, almost cream. Among the largest Iris, yet flowers 
are produced in profusion on tall, low-branched stalks—a clump is a sight 
to long remember. A plant of this will draw more attention than a dozen 
ordinary varieties. Wild plum fragrance. Another virtue, adding much to 
its garden value, is its long blooming period. M-ML—40”. 
PLEASED CUSTOMER: “Sierra Primrose had seven open flowers in 
bloom on one stalk. It was the most beautiful specimen I've grown. Every bud 
bloomed and it was beautiful several days.” Mrs. Virginia M. Bollin, Cool- 
idge, Arizona. 
CREAM AND IVORY TONES 
Quite Essential in Harmonizing Your Color Effects. 
EARLY 
IVORY TOWER (Walker ‘48) * HC ’46 ' $2.00 
A tall, candelabra type flower with exceptionally beautiful buds, long and 
pointed, and so arranged as to give the appearance of a candelabra with 
cream colored candles. These wax-like buds open into immense, delectable 
banana cream blooms, with broad falls and arching standards. Will add a 
new color note to your garden. E—40”. 
EASTER SUNRISE (Rees ‘44) x* $1.25; 3 for $3.25 
A very large and very tall delightful cream self with much gold at the haft. 
A seedling of Snow Flurry. No ruffling, but when the big buds begin to 
unfurl, they have a crystalline appearance that is breath-taking. Most re- 
markable in having the most evergreen foliage of any of my 500 varieties. 
In mid January, after 2 feet of snow, these clumps still had a mass of fine 
broad leaves a foot or more long. Ideal starting point for breeding attrac- 
tive evergreen foliage into various other colors. Sometimes the first Tall 
Bearded Iris to bloom. VE—46”.
