SUZETTE (Knowlton 1945) EM. 38”. 
As pert as a French mademoiselle. An airily marked plicata 
of rose madder on edges of standards and falls, this overlaid 
on a creamy background. HM’45. $3.00 
SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton 1944) EM. 38”. * 
An Iris of precise styling, lovely poise and smooth tailored 
appearance. A beautiful very light blue of classic form. There 
is a charm about blue Iris that other Ivis, with the possible 
exception of the new pinks, somehow miss. Wonderful in 
combination with the new pinks. Fragrant. HM’46. AM’49. 
$1.25; 3 for $3.25 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36”. 
Strong growing tea rose with buff shadings. This deep shade 
of mallow-pink with its coppery shading gives the effect of a 
copper-pink. Perfect form; a very worth-while Lris. HM’45. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
TECHNICOLOR (Whiting 1950) M. 34”. * 
A brilliant red with a Spanish brown cast, this breeder’s 
closest approach to red with just a hint of mahogany. A rich 
and glowing color from the cross of Garden Glory x Rocket, 
both superior Ivis in their own right. HM’50. $20.00 
-THE ADMIRAL (Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper than 
medium blue but not really dark. Form is unusual. Falls 
flare in a dashing way and the finish and substance are out- 
standing. The dramatic carriage of this fine flower makes it 
one of the most effective garden Ivis. Vigorous and free 
flowering, it can take burning sun or driving rain. HM’40. 
AM’44. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton 1945) EM. 38”. 
A gleaming, large, full formed white Iris with a bright gold 
haft and a bright orange beard. Striking and spectacular with 
as prominent a beard as can be imagined. HM’46. $1.50 
THE ORIOLE (Schreiner 1947) ML. 36”. 
The Oriole has the greatest contrast of colors we have seen 
outside of the Amoenas. The standards are a shade of golden- 
rod-yellow; the falls rich blackish maroon so deep the flower 
almost looks like a piece of black and gold velvet. It is not 
a fast grower. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent Iris. A vibrant red of rich plush-like quality. 
Rich, rosy wine-red solid to the haft. It is a sterling, gor- 
geously rich, deep dark Dahlia-red. Critics agree it is one of 
the finest Iris we have. AM’39. DM’41. 75c¢; 3 for $2.00 
THE SENTINEL (Hall 1942) M. 34”. 
A brilliant, burnished copper-orange Iris, like a piece of 
highly polished copper. Its branching is bunched but the 
originality of coloring makes it sought after in spite of this 
fault. Of great color value. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
THREE CHEERS (Cook 1945) M. 38”. 
A brilliant, sharply contrasting, blue bicolor. The standards 
are an opaque light blue almost blue-white; the falls a sort 
of ultramarine-purple with a metallic luster. Prominent 
whitish beard gives the flower a dramatic note. HM’46. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.25 
THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) M. 38”. * 
This glowing, massive old-rose-pink blend with very broad 
flowers is an eye catcher. The pleasant color has a mellow 
tone and the flower is highlighted with an overlay of rosy 
copper, pleasantly ruffled. Branched stems, long blooming 
season. HM’45. AM’49. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Smooth, clear cut plicata, stylishly assembled. Standards 
creamy colonial buff with more white cast falls, both speckled 
and sprinkled light golden brown. Carries as a buff-cream in 
the garden. Illustrated page 15. HM’44. AM’46. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose stitching on a yellow 
background. The pattern is a most pleasing one. There is a 
freshness about this yellow plicata that makes it one of our 
favorites. A profuse bloomer. HM’39. AM’43. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) M. 34”. 
Stiff, horizontal flaring flower. Rigid, upright standards give 
this Iris a crisp effect. A unique color, a golden tobacco 
brown, a lighter shade than most brown Iris. HM’44. AM’46. 
$2.50 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1942) ML. 36”. 
A massive flower of a rich shade of vivid yellow. The pure 
golden tones are washed lighter cream at the center of the 
flower. Rich golden beard, tall stems, moderately branched, 
large flowers and hardy. It is a highly meritorious variety. 
HM’39. AM’45. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
TROPIC MOON (Stevens Iris—See page 8). 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. 38”. * 
Rich and majestic, a glossy blue-purple self with a satin-like 
finish. Heavily textured, broad formed blooms, wide spread- 
ing falls. Tall stalks carry many flowers. This color is always 
needed in the garden and this Iris is a reliable grower where 
many darks are less so. HM’43. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
VELVET DUSK (Schreiner 1948) ML. 36”. 
A new addition to the very dark colored Iris, Velvet Dusk is 
a descendant of Sable and carries the coloring of that family 
of darks with a rich glisten like the glow and sheen of a piece 
of black fur. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. The bloom is full, well flared and rounded. 
Its form seems as if chiseled and the sonorous dull bluish 
brown beard is in fitting harmony with the flower. ‘Taller 
stems than most dark Iris possess. $5.00 
VESTAL BEAUTY (Schreiner 1942) L. 38”. 
Absolutely starch-white except for an orange beard. Free 
flowering and heavily substanced. A rockbound, hardy white; 
valuable for its late blooming. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
VICE REGAL (Miles 1946) EM. 34”. * 
A fine velvety bronzy red-purple practically a self. We feel 
we cannot emphasize the importance of fine purple Iris in the 
garden too much. They give the depth and timbre to the 
garden composition. That is why we value this Iris along 
with such fine purples as Purple Moor, Master Charles and 
the always reliable Indian Hills. HM’47. $1.50 
VIGIL (Wills 1947) EM. 38”. 
A new white, snowy white in effect, hardy and particularly 
strong and vigorous growing. Commencing with the early 
flowering varieties and producing a profusion of bloom ex- 
tending through midseason and finishing with the late bloom- 
ing kinds, the very laudable qualities of good growth and 
plenty of bloom mark it as a most worthy addition. HM’47. 
$3.00 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirkland 1931) EM. 38”. 
A standout Iris. Older than many of the varieties we offer, 
it possesses an individuality all its own. A tall and stately, 
deep toned lilac shade that is rich and glistening. It is neither 
pink nor blue but a shade midway between. HM’36. 
50c; 3 for $1.25
