Tip Top (Hall 1947) A striking and unusual color combination. The standards are 
a solid violet blue and the falls white, with a very delicate peppering of blue 
in the throat and on the edges of the falls. Medium sized flowers have a clean, 
crisp appearance. Well branched. Substance and form S000 a0] $2.50 
Tranquility (Fay 1950) Tranquil, serene and restful. This very large milk-white 
flower is carried on a perfectly branched strong stem 38 inches tall. The haft is 
wide and clean and the beard is white. The fiower is round and full petaled, 
with nicely flaring falls and domed standards. Very large strong plants with 
blue-green leaves. Completely winter hardy at Chicago. Midseason. $20.00 
Truly Yours (Fay 1949) This is the most sensational iris we have seen. The heart 
of the flower is bright yellow, which shades off to almost white at the bottom 
of the falls and at the top of the standards. The buds are bright yellow. The 
bottom side of the open falls is yellow and the top side is faced with white. The 
flowers are extremely large and ruffled with heavy lace edges. This is not only 
another novelty iris, it is also extremely beautiful. The general effect is a large 
creamy white iris trimmed in gold with fancy lace edges. Blooms very late; is 
winter hardy and about 38 inches tall. Net $20.00 
Twilight Sky (Fay 1948) A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds, 
red beard. Standards domed; falls flare at just the right angle. The flower is 
medium in size, tailored; the haft is clean. The widely spaced flowers are carried 
on a strong, graceful 35-inch stem. Plant is hardy, vigorous, and a very fast 
increaser. $7.50 
Velvet Dusk (Schreiner 1948) Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
color of that family of darks. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. Bloom*i§: full, well-flared and rounded. Has a dull bluish-brown 
beard that is in fitting harmony with balance of the flower. 36”. $5.00 
Violet Symphony (Smith 1940) Midseason. There is a quiet beauty in this gleaming 
violet self, with a slight bronze blush at the haft. Flowers are very large and 
precisely formed, 40”. 75¢ 
Wabash (Williamson 1936) Probably the most outstanding anemone of today. 
Standards are white and the falls hyacinth violet with a very definite white 
margin. This gives the flower a striking contrast that is both pleasing and 
attractive. 39’. 50c 
West Point (Nicholls 1938) A perfectly poised, refined indigo-blue with falls more 
intensely indigo with brownish cast at the haft worn like epaulets on a blue 
uniform. Wide, well formed flowers. Late blooming. A magnificent iris well 
worth a place in any planting. 38”. 50c 
Zantha (Fay 1947) A very large clear deep yellow. Winner of the President’s Cup 
at the 1947 Iris meeting. Because of its clear sparkling color and extremely 
large flowers this variety is one of the finest yellows. 37’. $6.00 
Zua (Crawford 1914) Here is an intermediate iris of rea] charm and beauty. It is a 
sport of Florentine according to iris check list. The general effect in coloring 
is a light lavender that is most attractive due to the creped substance of the 
petals. It can easily be mistaken for an orchid when used as a corsage. Has a 
pleasing fragrance. 60c
