Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Truly Yours (Fay 1949) This is the most sensational iris we have seen. The heart 
of the flower is bright yellow, which shades off to almost white at the bottom 
of the falls and at the top of the standards. The buds are bright yellow. The 
bottom side of the open falls is yellow and the top side is faced with white. The 
flowers are extremely large and ruffled with heavy lace edges. This is not only 
another novelty iris, it is also extremely beautiful. The general effect is a large 
creamy white iris trimmed in gold with fancy lace edges, Blooms very late; is 
winter hardy and about 38 inches tall. $15.00 
Twilight Sky (Fay 1948) A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds, 
red beard. Standards domed; falls flare at just the right angle. The flower is 
medium in size, tailored; the haft is clean. The widely spaced flowers are carried 
on a strong, graceful 35-inch stem. Plant is hardy, vigorous, and a very fast 
increaser. $3.00 
Velvet Dusk (Schreiner 1948) Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
color of that family of darks. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. Bloom is full, well-flared and rounded. Has a dull bluish-brown 
beard that is in fitting harmony with balance of the flower. 36”. $2.50 
Violet Symphony (Smith 1940) Midseason. There is a quiet beauty in this gleaming 
violet self, with a slight bronze blush at the haft. Flowers are very large and 
precisely formed, 40”. 75¢c 
Wabash (Williamson 1936) Probably the most outstanding anemone of today. 
Standards are white and the falls hyacinth violet with a very definite white 
margin. This gives the flower a striking contrast that is both pleasing and 
attractive. 39’. 50c 
White Sprite (Cassebeer 1951) A pure white self without a trace of blue or yellow 
even in the beard. This delicately ruffed and waved flower combines the airy 
grace and charm of its pollen parent, Azure Skies, with the breadth of falls 
and large size of its pod parent, And Thou. It grows about 38 inches tall on 
slender, wiry stems. $10.00 
Zantha (Fay 1947) A very large clear deep yellow. Winner of the President’s Cup 
at the 1947 Iris meeting. Because of its clear sparkling color and extremely 
large flowers this variety is one of the finest yellows. 37”. $3.00
