GARDEN GLORY (Whiting 1943) ML. 33”. * 
A pure enameled, rich Bordeaux red, or velvety ruby, one of 
the most stylish of the reds. Clear color, classic form and 
smooth finish. Distinctive because of its rich, glowing red, 
smooth haft and dark bronzy beard and its enamel finish and 
flaring’ form. Not large or tall it is one of our favorites be- 
cause it has such a sleek, smooth finish. HM’45. AM’47. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) ML. 38”. 
One of the top flight reds. Flowers of smooth, velvety toned 
red on tall stems. Rich color, good substance, good form. 
The flowers are full formed with hafts solidly colored red and 
more glossy velvety falls handsomely contrasted by the rich 
beard. Not a fast grower, it takes about 2 years to give its 
best performance. HM’37. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GAY BORDER (DeForest 1949) M. 40”. 
A new white ground plicata with maroon rose stripes and bor- 
der. It gives the effect of red bordering on white; new and 
distinct. HM’49. $7.50 
GENERAL PATTON (Kieinsorge 1947) ML. 38”. 
An intense and brilliant copper-brown self that glows and 
glistens with great elegance. The darker brown shading of 
this blend with its sparkling iridescence is quite novel. HM’47. 
$6.00 
GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting 1947) ML. 34”. 
If you are interested in an Iris that is a little different this 
Iris will delight you. A taffy-colored, wax-yellow with a flat 
fall. The spike is branched closely giving a Gladiola-like 
effect. $3.00 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1923) M. 38”. 
Brittle, cool, sheer—a giant ice-blue of unmatched substance 
overlaid with a sparkle like frost crystals. Supremely beau- 
tiful, splendid branching, wavy petals. HM’33. AM’35.

GOLDBEATER (Kleinsorge 1944) M. 36”. * 
Solidly colored chrome-yellow without markings or blendings 
of any kind. Very large flowers on excellent branched stems. 
A novel effect is given to a clump of this Iris by the bright 
coloring the deep yellow buds themselves make, Very fra- 
grant. Highly praised by Iris judges. HM’45. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
GOLDEN BOW (Sass 1935) VE. 26”. 
Good sized flowers of rich chrome yellow; very early blooming.

GOLDEN EAGLE (Hall 1942) EM. 38”. 
Sparkling light, clear yellow with a satiny sheen. Unlike most 
yellows it is without a hint of orange or amber. Extremely 
large, 6-inch flowers and a rapid grower. Perhaps the largest 
yellow. HM’42. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) ML. 36”. 
A beautiful lemon-yellow with the creamy falls provocatively 
edged and banded timpid gold, wholly unlike other yellow 
Iris. It has a suggestion of ruffling and tall stems. HM’40. 
AM’42. Pictured on page 21. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn 1934) E. 30”. 
One of the most colorful rich yellows, being bright, clear 
buttercup yellow. Not large, it has a richness and depth of 
color possessed by few. Floriferous and a rapid increaser; 
stunning color. AM’37. DM’39, A0c; 3 for $1.00 
GOLDEN LUSTRE (Fass 1948) E. 32”. 
This early blooming pure golden yellow has the clearest 
golden yellow tones we have seen in the early blooming Iris 
Its season of bloom is altogether invaluable. A color gem 
with nicely proportioned blooms and stems. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00

GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the very fine golden yellows, it is glistening smooth 
and does not fade. Of gleaming gold, the good sized blooms 
with splendid dome form are majestic and classic looking.

GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) M. 38”. 
Enormous flowers! This Iris along with Wm. A. Setchell and 
a few others, are the titans of the Ivis World. Surprising 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 look for all the world 
like a big cigar. The color is a light golden russet shade. 
This probably is the largest Iris we grow. HM’47. $3.50 
GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting 1940) M. 36”. 
Deep, gorgeous dandelion yellow with a brilliant heavy or- 
ange beard. A very fine Iris with oval formed flowers, large 
size and excellent substance. More valuable in the North than 
Golden Majesty. A beautiful deep yellow, HM’40. AM’42. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38”. * 
An exquisite creamy yellow Ivis with an outpouring of rich 
golden orange all about the central portion of the flower. 
An Iris of elusive charm, its loveliness seems to lie principally 
in its shimmering silkiness of texture and in the subtle in- 
fusion of golden light throughout the center of the flower. 
The beard is bright orange. HM’36. AM’38. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting 1950) M. 28”. 
Everyone who attended the National Iris Meeting in 1950 
recalls the display this vivid gold-yellow self, placed against 
the background of spruce trees, gave. Its sharp, brilliant col- 
oring drew people to it like a magnet. HM’48. $10.00 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 33”. 
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. HM’47. 
$2.50 
GRAND CANYON (Kieinsorge 1941) M. 38”. * 
A subtle deep colored blend of plum, copper and gold with 
center brightened by a gold beard and throat. An Iris that 
is best when admired at close range. Shows wonderful play 
of colors planted in the half shade, and an admirable Iris 
to bring indoors. Its coloring is very reminiscent of the 
famous scenic canyon it was named after. A fine illustration 
on page 25. HM’43. AM’44. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40”. * 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1942, this is one of the famous 
light blues. Of splendid mien with a pronounced flare; stiff, 
crispy petal texture, it is strikingly fine. Stately stems of per- 
fect branching. Rugged and hardy, we highly recommend it. 
Present day pre-eminence and popularity attest this Iris’ all- 
around value; fragrant. See page 45 for illustration. AM’40.

I purchased 15 Iris from you two years ago when we moved 
into our new home. This had been my first experience with big 
Iris, although I had seen them in friends gardens. My neigh- 
bors, who had seen the old fashioned Iris were amazed to see 
such large blooms.
