clump provides a colorful golden salmon-pink effect. The flowers are 
very large with falls that are waved and crimped. 
Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
A stunning apricot-orange, a luscious color with an overlay of copper. 
Nice orange beard. Tall branched stems, good substance, a distinctive 
color. A perfectly charming and distinct Iris of great merit. 
Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A new variety that has received much favorable comment. Standards are 
a delicate ivory-pink; the falls are of the same coloring with a slightly 
deeper flush around the beard, which is intense pinkish tangerine. It is 
fine in every particular: color, branching, vigor of growth, etc. 40 inches. 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
One of the largest, stateliest yellows, Ming Yellow is well substanced and 
branched, and blooms are carried with an easy grace. Large, clear, rich, 
smooth yellow evenly toned, thick substance. A worthy addition. 
Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
This heavily dotted and sanded Plicata from Cayeux is a rival of the 
series now so popular from the Sasses. It has a ground color of silvery 
white, closely netted with rosy heliotrope. A very large blossom. 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A uniform, soft blue; there is a suffusion of yellow in the center of: the 
flower which intensifies the blue as well as adds a warm glow. The 
standards and falls are wavy and very substantial. There are many 
flowers on a strong stem. 
Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
A tall, clean and clear-cut white flower with smooth, polished substance. 
Veining at haft accentuates the pureness of this beauty. Considered 
one of the best and hardiest of the new white Iris. 
Mulberry Rose Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Aptly described by the name, this new Iris is actually something new 
and different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the self-colored bloom 
well aloft, and the branching is good. Most unusual in color, it might be 
termed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded brown. The heavy 
bronze beard is an added asset. 
Nightfall Each 75c, Three $2:00, Doz. $6.00 
The falls are very velvety rich dark pansy-purple with almost no vein- 
ing on the haft. Standards are several shades lighter than the falls, 
making a very striking color combination. Plushlike substance with a 
glistening» sheen. 36 inches tall, well branched. One of the finest, if not 
the finest, of the dark Iris. 
Ola Kala Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Here is a deep yellow Iris that perhaps outdoes all others for depth of 
color and in addition its petals are heavily ruffled. Medium large flow- 
ers on nicely branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the 
orange side. Considered one of the finest new Iris. 
Old Parchment Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color break 
and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and closed; falls 
flaring and rather tailored in appearance. A perfectly huge bloom, 
heavy of substance, and the longest lasting variety in our garden. 
Ormohr Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
One of thé most outstanding Iris. The color is a very pleasing shade of 
manganese violet, heavily veined cream and dotted deep violet. The 
standards are big and gracefully domed; falls semi-flaring, broad and 
round. Substance of flowers is excellent and they withstand rain, heat 
and wind without apparent harm. Blooms freely and grows well. 
Pink Reflection Each $1.50, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.00 
Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 
thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and 
clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard 
is lemon. Height 3 feet; late flowering, proionging the Iris season.

Prairie Sunset Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
All that has been said about this gorgeous creation is true, but it 
simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings of peach, apricot, 
rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at a loss to describe

fine big flower, and the color will absolutely stun you when first you 
see it, and every time you see it! Dykes Medal, 1943.

Rosy Wings Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1939. A blending of soft amber-brown,

fine Iris of today. The flowers are handsome, and when lighted by the 
sun, sparkle with life. Very conspicuous in any collection. 
Sable Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25

Handsome iridescent, rich, velvety, deep violet flowers. A stunning deep

fine variety will be used in great numbers because of its exceptionally 
good: landscape qualities. 
Solid Mahogany Each $2.00, Three $5.50 
This grand new red is one of the finest dark Irises of recent years.

like falls. Height 3 feet. 
Sunny Ruffles Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
The name describes the Iris. Of a glorious new lemon-yellow-chrome.

choice variety. 
The Red Douglas Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Dykes Medal, 1941. This rich deep red-purple is still a favorite with all 
Iris lovers. The gigantic flowers seem to glow with inner lights of red.
