Nightfall Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
The falls are very velvety rich dark pansy-purple with almost no vein- 
ing on the. haft. Standards are several shades lighter than the falls, 
making a very striking color combination. Plushlike substance with a 
glistening sheen. 36 inches tall, well branched. One of the finest, if not 
the finest, of the dark Iris. 
Ola Kala Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Here is a deep yellow Iris that perhaps outdoes all others for depth of 
color and in addition its petals are heavily ruffled. Medium large flow- 
ers on nicely branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the 
orange side. Considered one of the finest new Iris. 
Old Parchment Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color break 
and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and closed; falls 
flaring and rather tailored in appearance. A perfecty huge bloom, 
heavy of substance, and the longest lasting variety in our garden. 
Ormohr Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
One of the most outstanding Iris. The color is a very pleasing shade of 
manganese violet, heavily veined cream and dotted deep violet. The 
standards are big and gracefully domed; falls semi-flaring, broad and 
round. Substance of flowers is excellent and they withstand rain, heat 
and wind without apparent harm. Blooms freely and grows well. 
Pink Opal Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
A beoutiful flower on tall stem. A rich pure pinkish lilac self. Not 
a new variety but still a great favorite because of its hardiness and free- 
dom of bloom. Its soft colors light up in the sun and create a lovely dis- 
play. é 
Pink Reflection Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 
thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and

Prairie Sunset Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
All that has been said about this gorgeous creation is true, but it 
simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings of peach, apricot, 
rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at a loss to describe 
it in a manner that might be conceived in the mind of the listener. A 
fine big flower, and the color will absolutely stun you when first you 
see it, and every time you see it! Dykes Medal, 1943.

unusual and showy. A late bloomer. 
Redward Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $18.00 
Deepest crimson-red—an approach to red from the purple side without 
the orange or brown influence. A large and brilliant Iris with widely 
flaring velvety falls. One of the finest in this color group. 
Rosy Wings Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1939. A blending of soft amber-brown, 
red and pink, with a conspicuous orange beard, makes this one of the 
fine Iris of today. The flowers are handsome, and when lighted by the 
sun, sparkle with life. Very conspicuous in any collection.

are ruffled also and add to the beauty of the whole plant. A very 
choice variety. 
The Red Douglas Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Dykes Medal, 1941. This rich deep red-purple is still a favorite with all 
Iris lovers. The gigantic flowers seem to glow with inner lights of red.

Gris Kaempferi RAINBOW IRIS 
The ancient poets called their Iris, Ground Rainbows; also Children 
of the Gods. A promise from them that beauty on earth would ever be. 
The finest of all their varieties is the Kaempferi which we offer you in 
a wide choice of colors. Not the least of their fine points is the grace- 
ful foliage. A thing of beauty after the blooms are past. 
Planted in a mass, or as a border, they are ideal. A few edging a 
reflecting pool or stream, is something to remember. No matter how 
fine your Iris collection may be, not to have these is to deprive yourself 
of something that will make it complete. 
CULTURE. Late plantings should be protected by a light covering 
of straw or leaves after the ground is permanently frozen to prevent 
roots from being heaved out of the ground by frost. Plant in spring 
or September and October. Avoid all lime.
