and excellent substance. HM’40. AM’42. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936) M. 38”. *

An Iris of elusive charm. HM’36. AM’38. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting 1950) M. 32”. 
Everyone who attended the National Iris Meeting in 1950 
recalls the display this vivid gold-yellow self, placed against 
the background of spruce trees, gave. Its sharp, brilliant col- 
oring drew people to it like a magnet. HM’48. $7.50 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 33”. 
Bright mustard-gold self, broad flowers, wide in both the 
standards and the falls. A sister to the famous Bryce Canyon 
and Chamois, it is more a shade of rich old gold. HM’47. 
$2.00 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 38”. * 
A subtle deep colored blend of plum, copper and gold with 
center brightened by a gold beard and throat. Shows won- 
derful play of colors planted in the half shade and an ad- 
mirable Iris to bring indoors. Reminiscent of the famous 
scenic canyon it was named after. Illustrated page 25. HM’43. 
AM’44, 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40”. * 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1942, this is one of the famous 
light blues. Of splendid mien with a pronounced flare; stiff, 
crispy petal texture, it is strikingly fine. Stately stems of per- 
fect branching. Rugged and hardy, we: highly recommend it. 
Present day pre-eminence and popularity attest this Ivis’ all- 
around value; fragrant. AM’40. DM’42. 75¢; 3 for $2.00 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32”. 
One of the finest whites for foreground planting. A very 
large variety with shapely blooms of splendid texture. A warm 
white with golden beard and haft. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
EXTRAVAGANZA 
GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) EM. 38”. 
Rich dark blue, a self without haft markings. The blue beard 
continues the pleasant harmony in a well formed flower. 
A deep blue Iris yet not a purple. HM’46. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) L. 38”. * 
A warm orangy cast variegata with copper-gold standards and 
solid chestnut-brown falls. Imposing stems, a vibrantly col- 
ored Iris. It brings to this class a warmth of coloring many 
of the other varieties lack. HM’45. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
GYPSY BARON (Schreiner 1942) EM. 40”. 
Unusual because of its unique marbling and striation of 
mulberry-purple on a crisp, silvery white background. It is 
like a feathery tracery of frost on a window pane. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
INDIANA NIGHT 
GYPSY ROSE (Whiting 1946) ML. 38”. 
A warm tapestry red, tall and stately, with a smooth brushing 
of copper at the haft and a hint of blue at the tip of the 
heavy yellow beard. The blooms are extra large and broadly 
round in form so it ranks as one of the largest Iris. Well 
branched on strong stems. HM’49. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
HARLEQUIN (Stevens 1949) L. 32”. 
Technically a plicata, this fantastic, “believe-it-or-not” Iris 
looks like an Oncocyclus hybrid. The heavy silvery falls with 
perky horizontal flare are not only veined like a butterfly’s 
wing, but bizarrely stippled and dappled chocolate and purple 
to match the feathery standards. Exotic, sophisticated, never- 
to-be-forgotten, its weird beauty makes garden visitors exclaim.
