BEARDED IRIS — Contineud 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) Each .50 
One of the very few tall bearded varieties that is a reliable 
fall bloomer here. Large wine red flowers and most popular 
with visitors. 
EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) Each 2.00 
A highly rated new amoena on the order of the older Shah 
Jehan. Standards are cream white. Falls a blend of red purple 
and copper. Very late. HM AIS 1944, AM 1947. Picture on 
page 29. 
FABULOUS KATE (Muhlestein 1950) Each 5.00 
Soft light yellow of gigantic proportions. Lightly ruffled flow- 
ers of elegant form not inclined to floppiness a fault of most 
big varieties. Well branched stems up to 4 feet in height. The 
finest light yellow in our opinion. A Pink Formal seedling. 
FANTASY (Hall 1947) Each 5.00 
Delicious new tone of pink that has appeared among Dr. Hall's 
famous flamingo pinks. The large flowers are orchid, or rasp- 
berry pink as some critics choose to describe this new color. 
HM AIS 1947, AM 1949. 
FIRECRACKER (Hall 1943) Each 2.00; 3 for 5.00 
This most brilliant of all plicatas stands out like a beacon in the 
garden. Bright burgundy red markings on a yellow ground that 
always attracts attention. HM AIS 1943. 
FLORA CAMPBELL (Hill 1940) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Glowing russet red or peach red describes this large flower of 
splendid form and flaring falls. 
FLORENTINE (Cayeux 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A giant plicata of a unique color pattern. The white ground is 
completely speckled and striated soft lavender blue. Strong 
grower. 
FORWARD (Marx 1952) Each 3.00; 3 for 7.50 
Purest chrome or lemon yellow self. A deeper yellow and 
more brilliant than all others of this color and without any 
white whatever. Definitely a step forward in the development 
of a lemon yellow self. Even the beard is of similar color. The 
flowers of medium size are borne on well branched slender 
‘stems. A most appealing garden subject with arching rich 
green leaves very resistant to leaf spot. 40 inches. Late. 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
This old timer is still a very popular variety, and justly so. 
Large pinkish lilac flowers of classic form and sweet fragrance. 
Picture on page 33. 
GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass 1941) Each 1.00 
Unlike any other red iris. Definitely a rose toned variety with 
less yellow or purple than displayed in all other reds. The color 
is warm and pleasing and we regret only that this grand iris is 
a slow increaser. HM AIS 1940, AM 1943. 
GARDEN GLORY (Whiting 1943) Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
An absolute self of rich bordeaux red with smooth enameled 
finish. Truly one of the best of the new reds. One of our 
favorites. HM AIS 1945, AM 1947. 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Still a top ranking red which compares favorably with the 
more recent and higher priced novelties. HM AIS 1937. 
GAY ORCHID (Muhlestein 1949) Each 3.50 
The deepest pure orchid self that we have seen and one of the 
finest of all Muhlestein introductions. Large flowers with flar- 
ing form and early. HM 1949. 
GIBSON GIRL (Gibson 1948) Each 2.00 
A heavily marked plicata on the order of Tiffany that is prov- 
ing its garden value twofold as a reliable rebloomer. For the 
past 3 years we have enjoyed many fine blooms in the fall as 
well as spring. Of the tall bearded varieties Ethel Peckham 
and Gibson Girl are the two most consistent rebloomers in our 
list. 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
We think this is one of the iris aristocrats. Large noble flow- 
ers of frosted light blue and delightful wavy form. Every gar- 
den should have it. HM AIS 1933, AM 1935. 
GOLDEN FLEECE (J. Sass 1940) Each .75 
A tall iris of lemon and cream with gold edging. HM AIS 
1940, AM 1942. 
GOLDEN MAJESTY (Salbach 1938) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Much larger flower than Golden Hind and of different form. 
A quality iris, reliable everywhere. HM AIS 1939, AM 1940. 
30 
GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
Name describes this giant iris which is among the biggest of 
all. Warm appealing color. HM AIS 1947, AM 1952. 
GOLDEN SYMPHONY (Horten 1944) Each 5.00 
Truly a symphony of colors this fine iris will appeal to all 
who favor the softer shades. Standards are buff toned yel- 
low, falls a blending of blue purple and bronze. The massive 
flowers possess elegant form. Very late. 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) Each 1.50 
Sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon and the brightest 
of the three. Color is near mustard yellow or golden buff but 
of a brilliance rarely seen in this shade. Large broad flowers 
on 32 inch stems. HM AIS 1947. 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935) Each .75 
Wm. Mohr seedling of pale lilac veined purple. Flaring falls 
and about the tallest of the Mohr line seedlings. Good grower. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
An odd and enchanting blend of plum, copper and gold which 
we like better every year. A color combination resembling 
some of the Breeder Tulips. HM AIS 1943, AM 1944. 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
In 1942 this iris won the Dykes Medal and has been the most 
popular blue variety ever since. Pure light blue flowers on 
well branched stems. Picture on page 37. 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A gigantic white on rather short stems best suited for fore- 
ground planting. Heavy gold beard adds to its beauty. No 
garden should be without it. 
GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) Each 1.50 
The best dark blue iris we have seen. Unlike the lighter shades 
of blue most of the dark varieties of this color carry so much 
purple in their pigment that there is actually little blue to see. 
Of uniform color without haft markings this fine iris has been 
widely acclaimed and justly so. Large flowers on 40 inch stems. 
Early. HM 1946. 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) Each .75 
A giant among variegatas. The deep orange standards and 
brownish maroon falls present a bold and resplendent flower. 
The immense blooms on stout 40 inch stems stand out in any 
part of the garden. Very late. HM AIS 1945. 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A beautiful orchid pink self of much larger size and better 
form than the old orchid pink varieties. Very floriferous and 
most effective in a clump. HM AIS 1945. 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) Each 2.50 
The queen of all light blue iris and winner of the coveted 
Dykes medal in 1949. Of ethereal beauty and majestic port 
this champion iris will be in great demand for years to come. 
One that delights the most fastidious. 
HERITAGE (Hall 1949) Each 8.00 
Selected from hundreds of Flamingo pink seedlings this fine 
iris is just a shade deeper than Cherie. Noteworthy for its 
graceful lines, superior substance and smooth uniform color. 
Height about 3 feet. Few plants. HM 1949, AM 1951. 
INSPIRATION (Stevens 1937) Each 1.00 
A beautiful and unique variety developed in New Zealand. 
The novel color is described as rose cerise or rosy carmine and 
there is no other iris quite like it. The huge fragrant flowers 
are carried on 40 inch stems. Midseason. 
JAKE (Long-Sass 1943) Each .75 
As the saying goes, ’’You can’t keep a good man down’’. This 
noble iris has forced its way into the company of the highest 
priced white varieties with practically no fanfare to augment 
its popularity. This variety is recognized today as one of the 
topflight whites by most iris critics. 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Truly a magnificent iris in the garden. Large flowers with 
coppery gold standards and coppery red falls. A very early 
bloomer that attracts everyone. HM AIS 1936, AM 1937. 
KATHERINE FAY (Fay 1945) Each .75 
Very large and impressive alabaster white of semi-flaring 
form. Strong grower. HM AIS 1945, AM 1947.
