For (GSE we offer for the first time: 
IRIS 
CONQUEST (Snoqualmie x Capitola) 20.00 
An intriguing new hybrid described as a ‘’blue Lady Mohr” 
by iris critics who have observed and admired the unusual 
and attractive qualities of this giant oncobred. A two toned 
flower of delicate shades, standards pale wisteria blue, falls of 
similar but lighter hue with a faint suffusion of chartreuse 
producing the bicolor effect. The imposing bloom is distin- 
guished further by a prominent bronze beard and a small 
purple signal patch. The color is somewhat reminiscent of the 
rare and exotic oncocyclus Gatesii. Form like Blumohr but with 
larger falls. Extra early and unlike many of the hybrids, Con- 
quest is vigorous and free blooming. Branching fair. Height 
about 30 inches. 
EOP ISALLS 3.00 
About the tallest iris we have ever grown. Average height is 
about 5 feet but we have actually measured stems up to 6 
feet. Color is cream with standards a shade deeper. The flow- 
ers are extra large of semi-flaring form on slender rather high 
branched stems. The lush foliage is especially attractive and 
extremely resistant to the annoying leaf spot. The arching of 
the leaves in fountain like fashion offers altogether a splen- 
did iris ideal for background planting or in front of evergreen 
shrubbery. We consider this one of the finest creams regard- 
less of price. Midseason. 
PAGEANTRY 3.00 
A large variegata blend that will add a striking color note in 
your garden. Good variegatas are so few and far between that 
we believe Pageantry will be welcomed by all iris lovers and 
especially those who are fond of this type. Massive flowers 
of broad flaring form are perfectly spaced on superbly 
branched stems. Standards are near mustard yellow, the wide 
falls near garnet red with practically no veining on the hafts. 
Heavy bronze beard that extends out on the fall. 42 inches. 
Late midseason. 
BLUE WALTZ 3.00 
Clear light sky blue of most excellent habits. Thoroughly tested 
for several years this lovely iris never fails to perform in a 
lavish manner. Unfortunately some of the best blue varieties 
now on the market are shy flowering or poor growers due to 
pronounced susceptibility to disease. The large flowers pos- 
sess fine substance and satiny texture. If you desire a pretty 
blue iris that you can rely on for genzrous bloom and plant 
increase annually this new variety will prove most satisfac- 
tory. One of the first to bloom. 40 inches. 
MUSKETEER 7.50 
A giant we believe to be one of the largest iris in existence. 
Beautifully molded flowers with exceptionally good substance 
and texture, qualities rarely seen in the giant iris, but so nec- 
essary to maintain a pleasing appearance. A warm blended self 
of golden tan with just enough purple to give the entire bloom 
the faintest rosy hue. Truly a magnificent variety that will 
stand out in any part of your garden. Stems are strong and 
well branched. We predict a great future for this handsome 
Goliath. 44 inches. Late midseason. 
INTRODUCTIONS 
PURPLE VELOUR 3.00 
Velvety and rich this Sable seedling is a splendid tribute to 
its illustrous predecessor. The color, not as dark as Sable’s, is 
deep glowing purple, near fluorite violet (Maerz and Paul) . 
Medium large flowers on sturdy rather short branched stems. 
Visitors always marvel at its vibrant beauty. Very early and 
one of the first real thrills of the iris season. Having tested 
this iris several years we now have sufficient stock to offer 
it at a price most people can afford. 36 inches. Early. 
PIPPIN 3.00 
Another giant and though the color is not apple red this iris 
is a pippin. Standards are russet brown, the broad falls chest- 
nut red. A decided improvement on Spokan which it resem- 
bles in color. However, the blooms are even larger and dis- 
play superior substance and texture. The stems are just a 
trifle short for the size of the flowers. Most impressive in 
foreground planting. A Marquita seed!ing with slender small 
leaves. 34 inches. Late midseason. 
FORWARD 5.00 
Purest chrome or lemon yellow self. A deeper yellow and 
more brilliant than all others of this color and without any 
white whatever. Definitely a step forward in the development 
of a lemon yellow self. Even the beard is of similar color. The 
flowers of medium size are borne on well branched slender 
stems. A most appealing gard2zn subject with arching rich 
green leaves very resistant to leaf spot. In fact we know of no 
other variety possessing such complementary foliage. In our 
opinion this is the finest iris of its color to date. At its best 
the second year. 40 inches. Late. 
GATESII (Oncocyclus) 12.50 
This fabulous iris of extreme rarity and gigantic size is seldom 
offered for sale. We have imported a very small lot and can 
accept orders as long as our supply lasts. W. R. Dykes in his 
monumental work, THE GENUS IRIS, claimed that, excepting 
the Japanese Iris, this oncocyclus was larger than any other of 
the genus. Its immense globular form is truly a wondrous 
sight. The general color effect is light pearly gray but upon 
close inspection the standards are pale olive gray veined pur- 
ple. The falls are olive cream finely netted and dotted purple. 
The bronze beard is broad and sparse and embraces a small 
purple signal. About 15 inches high. A rare collector’s item 
and an invaluable acquisition for the hybridizer. 
TAN TALIZER 1.50 
A fascinating and bizarre little oncobred resulting from a 
dwarf yellow seedling crossed with the Regelio-cyclus hybrid, 
Hera. The entire ground color is near buff yellow with maroon 
purple stripes. The color pattern is quite similar to our little 
Chipmunk, a denizen of nearby woods. Flowers are of rounded 
form with slightly elongated falls. The slender 10 inch stems 
each bear 2 flowers which are produced in greatest profusion. 
Very vigorous and blooms with the latest dwarfs. 
Finest Oregon-Grown DAHLIAS 
The increasing number of inquiries plus the tremendous interest 
in dahlias induced us to see what could be done to satisfy this 
interest. Last year we made arrangements with the leading dahlia 
grower in Oregon to supply our needs. Every variety we offer 
you was carefully selected by us in the field at blooming time. 
Every tuber is closely inspected just before shipping to make sure 
our customers will receive only plump, sound, healthy tubers 
with good strong eyes. We have planted many of these same 
dahlias in our garden with delightful results. We are certain 
you too will share our enthusiasm. See pages 57 to 60. 
Finest Oregon-Grown GLADIOLUS 
Because of their universal appeal and easy culture throughout 
the entire country we are offering gladiolus for the first time. 
Your response to our initial offering will determine whether or 
not we list them again. Their colorful beauty in the garden and 
great popularity with florists make them an all purpose flower. 
The stock will be furnished by another Oregon grower, one of 
the biggest and most reputable in the Northwest. If you want 
some of the finest bulbs in the world try some of these Oregon 
grown glads. See pages 61 to 62.
