“Last summer I ordered your special collec- 
tion of Giant Iris. This was my first experience 
with Iris and you cannot possibly realize the joy 
and satisfaction. I gained from my lovely blooms. 
The Mulberry Rose sent me three stalks—each 
of which bore several blooms. The Red Douglas 
bloomed very profusely—and the Ming Yellow 
was the envy of the neighborhood.” 
B. G. SHELDON, Michigan. 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (Smith 1940) M. 40”. * 
A gleaming lilac-mauve self, the individual blooms have a 
finished appearance as if precisely carved. Huge in size, broad 
petaled. A splendid Iris whose quiet beauty ranks it near the 
top of its class. A flawless flower. HM’40. AM’43.

VOODOO (Kleinsorge 1948) M. 34”. 
Not a brilliant Iris, this two toned chocolate tan and rich 
red-maroon-brown falls with its crimped and fluted edges is 
an unusual creation. You will find it a superb subject to cut 
and bring indoors, it combines so well. It is luxurious looking 
and the interplay of light seems to bring out hidden hues 
to a marvelous degree. See back cover, center flower lower.

WAKARUSA (Lapham 1941) EM. 34”. 
Brilliant and vivid, a striking orange and bright red. In 
effect a burntorange bicolor with velvety falls. As brilliant 
and colorful an Iris as we grow. HM’41. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36”. * 
Fresh toned as any Orchid is this Amoena with snowy white 
standards and ultramarine-blue falls with brighter margining. 
The best and one of the very few true Amoenas, it is a stand- 
out. For illustration of this clear contrasted flower see page
