Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Snow Flurry (Rees 1939) A beautiful ruffled white like an enveloping soft snow spray. 
The unopened buds are lightly tinted blue but the blossoms open a cool white. 
Large flowers, strong substance on tall stems. Short branching. Needs some 
protection in cold climates. Early midseason. 40”. $1.00 
Solid Gold (Kleinsorge 1952) A very large flower of deepest yellow imaginable. The 
color is very rich and clear, giving the impression of a velvety finish. $15.00 
Solid Mahogany (J. Sass 1944) One of the finest dark iris of recent years. Beautifully 
formed, and the color is aptly described by the name. No haft markings and a 
deep bronze-gold beard accent the richness of the plush-like falls. 36”. $1.00 
Spanish Peaks (Loomis 1944) A pure, clean white of immense proportions and most 
graceful form. It has no yellow on the haft nor in the throat. $3.50 
Spring Chimes (D. Hall 1939) A large golden russet self, a shade lighter than Night- 
ingale. This is a new and very attractive color. Very rampant grower, hardy 
and a free bloomer. The form is good and substance fair, 38”. 75¢ 
Spun Gold (Glutzbeck 1940) An iris of deep golden yellow. There is no veining 
or shading to mar the purity of the color. The flower is a self, but over the 
whole surface of the falls there is a velvety luster that adds to the depth of 
color. Very nicely branched with good substance. Dykes medal winner for 
1944. 38”. 75¢ 
Sylvia Murray (Norton 1944) A cross of shining Waters and Great Lakes. Lighter 
in color than either of the parents and with a silvery smoothness of pale-blue 
silk. Enormous flowers on 40” stems. A really grand, blue iris. $1.00 
Tally-ho (D. Hall 1949) The general color of this iris is something new and unusual. 
The falls are close to the deep coloring seen in fuchsia-colored orchids. The 
domed standards and lower part of falls is somewhat lighter. Large, well formed 
and of heavy substance. 32”. $7.50 
The Admiral (D. Hall 1941) Here is really an exceptionally fine blue iris. An 
effective, intense blue that is a little deeper than medium blue. Mr. Hall considers 
this as near to the standard of perfection as any iris he grows and we heartily 
approve his recommendation. The falls flare in a dashing manner; the finish and 
substance are outstanding. There is no variety grown that will take more 
punishment from the burning sun and driving rain without fading or losing form 
than “The Admiral.” A truly remarkable origination. 75c 
Tip Top (Hall 1947) A striking and unusual color combination. The standards are 
a solid violet blue and the falls white, with a very delicate peppering of blue 
in the throat and on the edges of the falls. Medium sized flowers have a clean, 
crisp appearance. Well branched. Substance and form good. 30”. $1.00 
Tranquility (Fay 1950) Tranquil, serene and restful. This very large milk-white 
flower is carried on a perfectly branched strong stem 38 inches tall. The haft is 
wide and clean and the beard is white. The flower is round and full petaled, 
with nicely flaring falls and domed standards. Very large strong plants with 
blue-green leaves. Completely winter hardy at Chicago. Midseason. $10.00
