WABASH 
TISHOMINGO (Caldwell 1942): M.L. 38 in. Large wisteria-blue 
self of very flaring form and firm substance. The standards are 
high and roundly domed and the falls flaring with a lighter flush 
around the beard. A frosty flush envelopes the entire flower and 
accentuates the cool crispness of this sturdy Iris. H.M., 1942; 
A.M., 1944. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) : M. 34 in. A golden tobacco- 
brown that is a lighter shade than most brown Irises. The 
standards are very erect and nearly closed. The broad falls are 
wide at the haft and horizontal and the flowers are large, of ex- 
cellent texture and long lasting. H.M., 1944; A.M., 1946. 
Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
TOURNAMENT QUEEN (Milliken 1947): E.M., 36 in. Bright 
fuchsia-toned Iris of fine texture and lustre. The petals are 
serrated and flexed enough so that portions of them are always 
highlighted. The beard styles are chartreuse with a fuchsia ridge 
down the middle. The flowers measure seven inches across and 
are very tragrant. Truly a tine Iris. Each $1.50; 3 tor $3.75 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937): M.L. 36 in. Colvssal, 
clear rich yellow flowers free from all markings to detract from 
the appearance of the blooms. The tall stems, the well spaced 
flowers, and the ease of growing makes this an Iris that should 
be in every garden. A.M., 1945. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
TWILIGHT SKY (Fay 1949): L. 38 in. An exceptional pink of 
fine form and substance, with pink buds and a pink beard. This 
soft, clean, clear pink has a very tailored appearance and is 
considered by Mr. Fay to be the best of his many hundreds of 
seedlings. H.M., 1950. Each $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937): M. 38 in. A rather unusual blend 
with standards of iridescent old gold and falls of wisteria-violet. 
The beard is a bright orange, thus giving the Iris an Oriental 
appearance. The tall stems have well branched and well spaced 
flowers on them. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VALOR (Nicholls 1932) : M.L. 42 in. Deep blackish-blue bi-color 
of fine large size and color. The standards are domed and the 
falls are slightly spreading and wide. In the bright sunlight this 
Iris often appears to be crimson. The flowers are very fragrant. 
IX, IN, WISS- Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943): M.L. 38 in. A rich dark 
blue-purple self with large well rounded flowes of extremely 
heavy substance and glossy finish. The huge flowers resist ad- 
verse weather and are very well branched. The strong stalks 
carry 9 to 12 flowers over a long period of bloom. H.M. 1943. 
Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

VELVET DUSK (Schreiner 1948): M. 36 in. This descendant of 
Sable carries the same rich black-violet tones. The blossoms are 
full, well flared and carried on well branched stems. A lovely 
bluish-brown beard completes the charm of this Iris. Each $3.50 
VICE REGAL (Miles 1946): E.M. 34 in. A very reliable, fine, 
richly colored iris from Canada. Both standards and falls are 
almost identical in color, like a piece of rich brocade. It is a 
bronzy red-purple with the falls appearing slightly deeper, due 
to the velvety texture. Scarcely any haft markings. H.M., 1947; 
A.M., 1951. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (Smith 1940): M. 40 in. Gleaming violet 
self, huge in size and bearing many perfectly shaped blossoms. 
Might be termed a light purple, very uniform in color except for 
a slight bronze flush at the haft. In its color class this is tops. 
H.M., 1940; A.M., 1943. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
VOODOO (Kleinsorge 1948): M. 34 in. A wonderful two-toned 
chocolate-tan with rich red-maroon-brown falls. The entire 
flower is crimped and ruffled at the edges and the broad falls 
are held stiffly horizontal and the wide standards are held 
closely together and erect. Excellent growing habits. 
Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
WABASH (Williamson 1937): M. 38 in. This is one of the most 
popular Irises ever introduced. The standards are pure white 
and sightly ruffled. The falls are velvety purple with a white 
border. It is a good bloomer and a top notch Iris. H.M., 1937; 
A.M., 1938; Dykes Medal, 1940. Illustrated. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25
