BEARDED IRIS — Contineud 
MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stevens 1946) Each 5.00 
Many fine iris have come from New Zealand and this en- 
chanting iris is no exception. A soft sulphur yellow, not bril- 
liant, but sleek and smoothly finished. In addition the petals 
are uniquely serrated. Semi-flaring flowers on 3 foot stems. 
Late. 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) Each .50 
A large rose pink iris that has been in heavy demand. One of 
our most popular varieties. 
MOUNT TIMP (Muhlestein 1945) Each .75 
The first plicata to bloom and ideal for foreground planting. 
Flowers are very large and certainly among the prettiest of 
all the rose trimmed plicatas. It has attracted much attention 
here. Not tall. 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Another most desirable near black variety. Large deep blue 
purple flowers of velvety texture and heavy substance. We 
like it very much. DM England 1949. 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Well described by the name, this marvelous iris adds a new 
color to the iris spectrum. The color is enhanced by the brown 
hafts and bronze beard. HM AIS 1943, AM 1944. Picture on 
page 36. 
MYSTIC MELODY (Stevens 1951) Each 8.00 
We are strongly attracted by this alluring and beautiful iris. 
On the order of Pinnacle but more of a blend than a bicolor. 
Standards are soft cream, falls rich butter yellow. Nicely 
formed flowers on well branched 40 inch stems. Midseason. 
HM 1952. 
MUSKETEER (Marx 1952) Each 5.00 
A giant we believe to be one of the largest iris in existence. 
Beautifully molded flowers with exceptionally good substance 
and texture, qualities rarely seen in the giant iris, but so nec- 
essary to maintain a pleasing appearance. A warm blended self 
of golden tan with just enough purple to give the entire bloom 
the faintest rosy hue. Stems are strong and well branched. 
We predict a great future for this handsome Goliath. 44 inches. 
Late midseason. 
NEW SNOW (Fay 1946) Each 2.50 
We believe this is the most beautiful white iris on the market. 
The big ruffled flowers are purest white except for the bright 
yellow beard. An exhibition variety of unusual loveliness in 
flower arrangements. Stems are rather short branched. 40 
inches. Midseason. HM AIS 1946, AM 1948. 
NIGHT LIFE (Muhlestein 1948) Each 4.00 
Very deep blackish purple that will command attention any- 
where. Flowers are smoothly finished with no markings on 
the hafts. Very new and will surely be most popular when 
more stock becomes available. Few plants. 
OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
In our opinion the very finest deep yellow iris. In fact it is 
almost pure orange. Dykes Medal 1948. Picture on page 28. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Splendid large iris lightly tinted buff or creamy tan. Most 
striking and beautiful when planted in front of evergreen 
shrubbery. HM AIS 1940, AM 1941. 
ORELIO (DeForest 1947) Each 2.00 
Bright brownish red distinct from others of this color. The 
big flowers possess good form and substance. Well branched 
3 foot stems. A Casa Morena seedling. HM AIS 1948. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
One of the largest iris in existence. The rounded flowers are 
light lavender with rather inconspicuous violet veining. A tall 
Wm. Mohr seedling and a good grower everywhere. HM AIS 
1939. 
PAGEANTRY (Marx 1952) Each 3.00 
A large variegata blend that will add a striking color note in 
your garden. Massive flowers of broad flaring form are per- 
fectly spaced on superbly branched stems. Standards are near 
mustard yellow, the wide falls near garnet red with practically 
no veining on the hafts. Heavy bronze beard that extends out 
on the fall. 42 inches. Late midseason. 
34) 
PALLIDA VARIEGATA Each .75 
Often called the Zebra Iris because of the striped green and 
yellow leaves. Flowers are of medium blue but the plant with- 
out blooms is a bright ornamental garden subject. Stock is 
quite scarce. 
PATRICE (DeForest 1945) Each .75 
Very large refined plicata and rated highly everywhere. 
Creamy standards flushed rosy lavender, falls white trimmed 
rosy brown. Tall stems, splendid branching and strictly first 
class on all other counts. HM AIS 1946. 
PEPPER (Marx 1950) Each 1.50; 3 for 3.50 
One of the most interesting yellow ground plicatas we have 
seen. This hybrid is one-eighth Oncocyclus contributed by 
its parent, Suez. Standards are soft creamy yellow with a 
wide border of light reddish purple. Falls are deeper yellow, 
bordered ruddy crimson. Entire flower is delightfully ruffled 
and possesses tremendous substance. A prodigious bloomer 
and a strong grower ideal for foreground planting because of 
its height which does not exceed 30 inches. 
PIERRE MENARD (Faught 1948) Each 7.50 
The finest medium blue iris to date and a definite advance 
in the darker blues. Flowers are of massive size with broad 
falls, ruffled and semi-flaring. Stems are strong with 3 way 
branching. We predict tremendous popularity for this superb 
iris. 40 inches. HM AIS 1948, AM 1950. Picture on page 25. 
PINK CAMEO (Fay 1941) Each 1.50 
Though not large this new pink exhibits clear and excep- 
tionally fine color comparable to the highest priced pink 
varieties. Excellent growing habits and a rapid increaser. 
HM AIS 1946, AM 1948. 
PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein 1949) Each 10.00 
All reports indicate this to be the most spectacular of the new 
pinks. Depth of color and substance is superior to any other 
pink iris. Large ruffled flowers on tall stems. A real triumph 
for Mr. Muhlestein. Very few plants. HM AIS 1949, AM 
{95 1. 
PINK RUFFLES (Smith 1940) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A Noweta type iris of even more ruffling and slightly darker 
color. Most effective in mass planting. AM AIS 1940, AM 
1942. 
PINK TOWER (Muhlestein 1948) Each 2.00 
The tallest pink in our collection. Large flowers on well 
branched stems. 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) Each 7.50 
Here we have an entirely new bicolor that represents another 
milepost in the development of modern iris. In this refresh- 
ing color break we now have an iris with clear white standards 
and pale primrose yellow falls. Large flowers are borne on 
well branched 3 foot stems. An unrivaled beauty to be coveted 
by every iris fancier. HM AIS 1949, AM 1951. Picture on 
page 25. 
PIPPIN (Marx 1952) Each 2.00 
Another giant and though the color is not apple red this iris 
is a pippin. Standards are russet brown, the broad falls chest- 
nut red. A decided improvement on Spokan which it resem- 
blues in color. Most impressive in foreground planting. A 
Marquita seedling with slender small leaves. 34 inches. Late 
midseason. 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass 1939) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Perhaps no iris has received more publicity than this huge 
gorgeous blend which won the Dykes Medal in 1943. Very 
difficult to describe but pinkish copper is pretty close. Must 
be seen to be appreciated. HM AIS 1937, AM 1941, DM 
1943. Picture on page 36. 
PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
Sister seedling of the new famous flamingo pinks and ot much 
larger size. A cream peach self of fine form. The color is best 
here if shaded from the afternoon sun. Very limited stock.
