NIGHTFALL (Hall 1942) M. 36”. * 
Do you have trouble growing the very dark Iris? Here is a 
fool-proof version—a deeply colored, handsome, plush black- 
ish pansy-purple without veins. It is floriferous to a remark- 
able extent and a fine grower, HM’43. AM’45. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
NIGHTINGALE (Hall 1942) M. 36”. 
Gleaming golden russet with a copper biscuit tan shading, 
most effective. Glistens with a lovely glow. Large, full flowers 
recapturing the spirit of the golden sunset glow. Standards, 
falls and beard are all the same pleasant harmony. HM’44. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. * 
This is one of the best of the deep yellows. So intensely yel- 
low it is almost on the orange side. Rich in color, brilliant 
in effect. A flaring, lightly ruffled flower on tall stems with- 
standing weather to a very great degree. It is an Iris people 
talk about and this is high praise, indeed, as we have an 
abundance of good yellow Ivis and when one stands out it 
must be good. A patrician. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 
1948. Illustrated on page 26. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
A large ivory with a creamy tan suffusion. Large flower, 
splendid substance, incredibly gossamer yet remarkably strong. 
A fine blend of great charm. HM’40. AM’41. 
50c73 for. $1.25 
ORANGE GLOW (Cassebeer 1943) M. 35”. 
Brilliant copper-tinted gold standards and burnished copper 
falls; bicolor, with a bright terra cotta overlay with velvety 
sheen. Glows like a ruddy sunset. HM’44. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
ORCHID LADY (Salbach 1943) ML. 36”. 
Notable among the orchid and lilac-pinks with thick substance 
and smartly flaring, semi-horizontal falls. The clear orchid 
coloring with slight blue shading and faint undertone of 
brown near the throat is especially rich under artificial light. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
ORELIO (DeForest 1947) ML. 35”. 
This is a handsome rich brown-red arising from the famous 
Casa Morena. It has the copious form and heavy substance 
of its famous sire and the red-brown tones are most effective 
and different. A lively red. HM’48. $4.00 
PACEMAKER (Lapham 1950) EM. 36”. * 
A very nicely formed new red Iris. A self that is smooth and 
velvety. The uniformity of color, due to the absence of any 
venation in the haft, is exceptional and the silken-like finish 
to the flower gives it a very glossy sheen. We have tested and 
compared this Iris extensively and it certainly outdistances 
any other red available in commerce. At the Annual Meeting 
of the American Iris Society in Oregon in May, 1949, it was 
the center of attention. We consider it the finest red we have 
seen with good branching, a tall, sturdy stem which is better 
in height and branching than most of the brighter reds. 
There are three and at times four branches per stem. A rich 
beard completes the even harmony of this splendid new red.

PALE DAWN (Fay 1947) EM. 38”. 
A very pale blue Iris, near white in tone. Large, nicely formed 
blooms with a well tailored look borne on strong, perfectly 
branched stems. $3.50
