WAKARUSA (Lapham 1941) EM. 34”. 
Brilliant and vivid, a striking orange and bright red. In 
effect a burnt-orange bicolor with velvety falls. As brilliant 
and colorful an Iris as we grow. HM’41. 75¢; 3 for $2.00 
WASATCH (Thorup 1935) E. 34”. 
One of the largest plicatas. A stunning, broad petaled white 
flower with even buttonhole stitching of medium blue. Sub- 
stance is excellent. HM’36. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
WATCHFIRE (Stevens 1948) M. 38”. 
Watchfire was our choice from a whole series of blends char- 
acterized by their splendid height and better than usual 
branching. We believe that the breeders specializing in the 
development of blends will be intensely interested when they 
behold the ramrod stiff, well branched stems. A copper with 
a red cast whose brilliant colors are carried aloft and send 
WORTHINGTON (Cook 1943) M. 36”. 
Strong and clear, bright rosy red that carries very effectively. 
A harmonious bicolor, the colors are all pleasingly clear and 
bright; good form, nice size, smoothly textured and heavily 
substanced. $1.00 
ZANTHA (Fay 1947) EM. 35”. 
A gorgeous shade of golden yellow and amazingly large flower. 
Winner of the President’s Cup for 1947. Freshly opened 
blooms are so luxurious they almost take one’s breath away. 
In time of extreme heat the bloom may be inclined to be a 
bit soft. For a blaze of color it knows few equals and we 
doubt if it has a superior. HM’47. $4.00 
The Tris plants I have dreamed of buying for the last 7 or 8 
years arrived from you in perfect condition. Ever since I placed 
my order with you | knew I had something marvelous to look for- 
ward to. Now I can hardly wait for the blossoms! 
MRS. HAZEL SIMON, Calif. 
their beams across the garden attracting and holding one’s 
attention. A wonderful clump. For a single flower see illus- 
tration on page 9, a group on page 4. $3.50 
WHITE CITY (Murrell 1939) EM. 40”. 
Immense flowers of silken blue-white with a flush of plumbago-blue around 
the heart of its stiff, starwart bloom. Crisp finish and ice cold effect of 
the blooms is very striking. AM’45. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith 1936) M. 38”. 
Statuesque white with beautiful domed standards. Both standards and 
falls lightly ruffled. Large flower whose glistening white blooms and 
yellow beard are borne on tall, sturdy stalks. HM’36. 50c¢; 3 for $1.25 
WHITE TOWER (Schreiner 195]) E. 42”. 
Well named! Definitely one of the tallest, and, I really believe, the whitest 
and largest of all white Iris, standing out in the Iris patch like a white 
campanile tower over a mediaeval city. he massive snow sculptured 
blooms are very nobly formed with broad falls of extraordinary substance 
and a texture whose stardust sheens warms to gold dust near the golden 
bearded haft. Blooms are spaced well apart along the stem, somewhat after 
the manner of Desert Song. A sedate, kingly Iris that will prove an ace 
as a landscape flower. $10.00 
WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grant 1943) M. 38”. 
A porcelain white with blue at the base of the beard and haft. The con- 
trast of a bluish brushing at the beard is quite novel and unusual. A large 
flower. HM’43. AM’45. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the giant Iris blooms. Simply gargantuan violet self. Surprisingly 
good substance for such a mammoth flower. Heavy branched stems. In- 
dividual blooms measure 6 inches across and 7 inches high! 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
WINSTON CHURCHILL (Stevens 1944) ML. 32”. 
A red close to crimson, it gleams with jewel-like luster. A deeper red than 
most, the color and texture are very fine. The standards are a glowing 
red, the falls more crimson velvet with a rich gold beard. A striking red 
Iris from that fine New Zealand breeder, Mrs. Stevens. $4.00 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 38”. * 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in form as it is pure in color, 
tall snow-white. One of the most beautiful white Iris. The pronounced 
flare of the stiffly substanced flower reminds one of a piece of stiffly 
starched material. Flowers are very large, nicely proportioned, giving the 
flower the feeling of elaborate styling. A lavish gold throat regally caps 
its pure beauty. One of the best whites in the garden, perfectly hardy, 
free flowering and prolific. Illustrated on page 44. HM’42. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50
