BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
SNOWKING (H. Sass 1935) Each .50 
A tall regal white iris of flaring form and especially recom- 
mended for the coldest sections of the country. This and 
Gudrun are probably the best whites in their price class. 
SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass 1944) Each 1.50 
As the name implies a rich mahogany red self of large size 
and perfect form. A magnificent variety. Picture on page 14. 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944) Each 1.25 
Among the first of the sensational new pinks to be offered and 
at a price now that most can afford. Medium sized flowers 
of deep seashell pink with contrasting orange beard. A highly 
acclaimed iris. 
SPOKAN (J. Sass 1933) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
An enormous chestnut red that makes an imposing picture in 
the garden. The standards are somewhat lighter than the falls 
and the entire flower is tinted copper. One of the iris giants 
and most worthwhile. 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
The finest of all yellows for form, substance and texture. The 
enameled finish with no veining whatsoever is noteworthy. 
Dykes Medal 1944. Rather shy bloomer for us. 
STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Large striking reddish copper iris that is admired by all who 
see it. An outstanding variety. 
STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith) Each 6.00 
Until we saw this gorgeous new variety we rated City of Lin- 
coln the No. | variegata. Like the older variety in every 
detail except that the coarse veining on the hafts, so objec- 
tionable to many, has beén eliminated’*in Mr. Smith’s stunning 
new iris. 
STORM KING (Nicholls 1940) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Very smooth blackish purple flowers of massive size and flar- 
ing falls. Differs from Sable in that it is a red toned in place 
of a violet toned black iris. A marvelous variety and a late 
bloomer. 
SUNLIT CLOUD (Marx 1950) Each 1.50 
A magnificent giant that reflects all the glorious tints which 
seemingly kindle a sunset cloud. The color combination defies 
description. Copper red with just a suggestion of pink conveys 
some idea of this colorful blend. Well branched stems about 
32 feet high. Blooms midseason. 
SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge 1948) Each 5.00 
Well named this new giant is simply magnificent in its blazing 
glory. A brilliant reddish copper blend, close to red under 
some lights, that fairly dazzles in the sun. One of Dr. Klein- 
sorge’s finest introductions to date. 40 inches. 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) Each 1.00 
Generally rated as the best PRAIRIE SUNSET seedling. Lighter 
and yellower than its parent the color is near rufous or burnt 
orange. A fascinating blend that is a regular fall bloomer in our 
garden. 
SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton 1944) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Large silvery blue possessing much charm and refinement. 
Flaring flowers on strong well branched stems. 
TAN BOY—Described and illustrated on page 5. 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) Each 1.00 
A warm pleasing copper pink blend of excellent habits. Es- 
pecially delightful in large clumps. 
THE ADMIRAL (Hall 1941) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Medium dark blue but unlike any other blue iris we grow. The 
bold flowers with their flaring falls and impervious substance 
merit the highest praise. A unique blue and most commendable 
variety. 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
An immense deep wine red iris, elegant in its radiant color 
and polished finish. A solid color with no haft venation to 
mar its beauty. Won the Dykes Medal in 1941. One of the 
most spectacular iris. 
THE SHOWMAN (Muhlestein 1950) Each 5.00 
A gorgeous deep copper red self with velvety smooth finish. 
About the brightest iris we have seen in this color. Large well 
formed flowers on 3 foot stems. Branching fair. Late mid- 
season to late. 
16 
THREE CHEERS (Cook 1945) Each 1.50 
Large bold flowers remindful of AMIGO but on much taller 
stems. Pale blue standards and bluish purple falls. A WA- 
BASH seedling. 
THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) Each 1.50 
Beautiful copper toned rose pink blend. Massive flowers with 
broad falls. Truly a magnificent iris. 
TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A plicata of softest colors. Standards are very light buff, falls 
light cream bordered with golden brown stippling. Nicely 
formed flowers and splendid substance. Highly recommended. 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
This intensely ruffled yellow plicata is one of our favorites. 
Both standards and falls are heavily flushed deep rose pink. 
Large crisp flowers that make this a most distinctive plicata. 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) Each 2.00 
There is nothing like this fine iris and it has been acclaimed 
both in this country and abroad as one of the very best crea- 
tions from Dr. Kleinsorge. The entire flower is a golden to- 
bacco brown. Substance is unusually good and the wide falls 
extend horizontally. A topnotcher in all respects. 
TOKEN (Hall 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Huge golden brown blend with faint suffusion of rose through- 
out the flower, the falls being considerably darker than the 
standards. Strong grower and rather late. 
TREVA (DeForest 1945) Each 2.00 
One of the brightest of the yellow blends. Because of the 
frosted finish the large golden apricot flowers seem to glitter. 
A splendid variety that we like very much. 
UTAH SPECIAL (Muhlestein 1950) Each 5.00 
Many colors are combined here to create a most delightful 
blend that is enchanting in the garden and exquisite as a cut 
flower. Rich mellow shades of peach, salmon, yellow and 
pink are apparent but the briefest description might be a pink- 
ish pale buff blend. Flowers are well formed on 3 foot stems. 
Midseason. 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A blue biend and the only variety of this color offered this 
year. Huge flowers of blue and bronze. 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) Each 1.50 
A notable newcomer to the oldest color class in iris. Quality 
radiates from this gorgeous blue toned purple and if you 
think purple iris are all alike there is a big surprise in store 
for you. 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith 1940) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Large mauve self and a good companion for any of the pinks. 
VISION FUGITIVE (Wareham 1942) Each 2.50 
Refreshing and cool describes the impression created by this 
large creamy iris. There also appears to be the faintest sug- 
gestion of olive green especially in the centers. Blooms possess 
superior substance and the plant is a vigorous grower. Lovely 
and different from other creams. 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
One of the most popular of all iris due to its striking color con- 
trast combination unequaled by any other variety. A true 
amoena with pure white standards and dark violet falls with 
light borders. There is nothing else like it. Won the Dykes 
Medal in 1940. Picture on page 15. 
WEST POINT (Nicholls 1938) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Two-toned indigo blue iris of refined form and splendid tex- 
ture. Quite late. 
WHITE WEDGWOOD (Grant 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Tall early blooming bluish white iris with a blue beard. Large 
flowers of pleasing form and fine substance. An intriguing 
novelty. 
WM. MOHR (Mohr 1925) Each .50 
A famous hybrid and one of the parents of the giants Elmohr 
and Ormohr. Exotic flowers of colossal size. Color is laven- 
der definitely dotted and veined purple. Always makes small 
rhizomes. Quite dwarf. 
WINNESHIEK (Egelberg 1931) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Large deep bluish purple of elegant wavy form and lustrous 
finsh. A magnificent iris and still one of the best of the dark 
varieties.
