DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 36”. 
A gay, percolating golden pink with a coppery undertone. 
One of the finer pink blends. Good form and substance and 
a good stalk. A slight suggestion of ruffling gives it a de- 
lightful informal air. HM’42. AM’43. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
DESERT SONG (Fay 1946) EM. 40”. * 
Surely if this is not the finest, most beautiful cream Iris, it 
ranks so close that drawing a line of distinction would be 
difficult. The ramrod stiff stems carry the delectable cream 
flowers with butterscotch tinge, with an easy grace. Combines 
smooth color, good form, substance and quality. There is a 
good illustration on page 34. Just the right shade for planting 
with other Iris. HM’46. AM’49. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
DISPLAY (Grant 1942) ML. 33”. 
A beautiful red—one of the darkest and richest of the reds. 
A brilliant, glowing red mahogany type; rich and smooth 
without veinings at the haft. Large sized flowers. HM’42. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
DISTANCE (Cook 1946) M. 36”. 
One of the finest blues, a cool translucent light blue with a 
silvery cast reminiscent of winter twilight. The pure, un- 
marred flower gives a cool, serene effect. Nice sized blooms 
with an airy grace and limpid color that strikes a responsive 
note with those in search of real blue shades. Color carries 
remarkably far. Very popular. HM’46. AM’49. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
DOLLY VARDEN (D. Hall 1950) M. 38”. 
A nicely formed large light pink with a salmon overlay; of 
better than average substance in the flamingo pink creations. 
It is one of the best of this type. HM’50. $12.00 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook 1943) M. 38” * 
The loveliest pure orchid-pink done to perfection. A vision 
of sheer loveliness. A near white beard emphasizes the solid 
orchid-pink coloring. The flower is full with domed standards 
and falls of exceptional width, full and rounded. This gives 
the flower an extraordinarily full and billowy effect. Ilus- 
rated pages 5 and 25. HM’44. AM’48. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
DREAMLAND (Snyder 1945) M. 38”. 
A full formed, deep hollyhock red. Each petal has a crease 
that breaks the formality of the broad petals. Solidly colored, 
rich and free growing. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
DRUM MAJOR (Douglas 1947) ML. 38”. * 
A broad, roundly formed rosy cast red. The falls have a vel- 
vety flush and the even coloring of the entire flower, even to 
the red colored styles, gives an overall deep rose-red effect. 
Especially good for warmer sections, non-fading. $3.50 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell 1946) M. 38”. 
Very attractive warm toned pink with an unbelievable half 
inch band of gold on both the standards and falls; heavy gold 
beard and golden throat. HM’46. $1.00 
EBONY QUEEN (Sass 1947) EM. 36”. 
A dark, blackish purple Iris from the Sasses. Medium large 
blooms on well branched stems, fragrant. HM’47. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) ML. 36”. * 
This huge, ruffled bloom, measuring up to 7 inches, is one 
of the most exciting Iris we grow. It is an exquisite shade 
of rich, reddish mulberry, incredibly glossy and lustrous. The 
color seems to smolder as if some interior source of light were 
seeping out. Distinct rounded form and unique manner of 
venation. A thrilling Iris. AM’44. DM’45. 
$1.00; 3 for $2 50

ENVOY (DeForest 1948) L. 30”. 
A glossy, dark descendant of Iris Ethiop Queen. A dark Iris 
with some red-purple in it. Dusky orange beard, very smooth 
and attractive. $6.50 
EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) VL. 36”. 
An amoena of cream-white standards and rich velvety prune- 
plum falls with a copper medley artfully touching up the 
haft and edge of the fall. The last Iris to bloom. Pictured 
pag erZ lee LUNI AA AVA 7s $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
FALL DAYS (K. Smith 1948) E. 36”. 
Fall Days brings to our garden the bright, vivid colors of 
autumn foliage in an Iris of rose, copper and bronze blended 
tones. $5.00 
FANTASY (D. Hall 1947) EM. 30”. 
Possessing that touch of distinction, this Ivis is one of our 
favorites. Different from any other sort of rose and orchid 
pink combination, the shadings have a touch of purplish 
raspberry about them. The broad, full blooms have a bit of 
rufHe, the heart of the flower is brilliantly lit up by an effec- 
tive tangerine beard. HM’47. AM’49. Pictured page 1. 
$5.00 
FIREDANCE (Fay 1947) ML. 36”. 
A deep, glowing red marked plicata, the striking pattern of 
markings gives a strident note. The falls are marked in a 
narrow perimeter while the standards are more generally 
marked a shade of wine red. Most effective. HM’47. $3.50 
FIRECRACKER (D. Hall 1943) M. 33”. 
Brilliant dark burgundy-red marked plicata with a yellow 
trim. This showy Iris with its vivid shading of red on yellow 
looks like a red Amaryllis with white stripe from a distance. 
It is an Iris that commands attention; snappy and brisk. We 
like it very much. HM’43. $2 00: 3 for $5 00 
FLARE (Schreiner 1951) M. 34”. 
Here is a brilliant flash of color. The standards are orange 
ycilow, the smoothly lacquered falls are a rich red brown 
like the finish of a horse chestnut when freshly picked and 
still retaining the oily, shiny lustre. $3.00 
FLYING SAUCER (Schreiner 1953) ML. 38”. 
You will not only stop and look once but you will probably 
look again at this plicata with the darkest markings, nearly 
as dark as Sable, on a clear white ground. Most unusual and 
novel. We haven’t seen another like it. $3.00 
FRANK PUGLIESE (Lapham 1947) M. 38”. 
A redder, more vibrant Christabel, possibly a shade or two 
darker and even more of a self. The standards are so rich 
they are practically the same shade as the lustrous, fiery falls. 
A “house afire’” red; fragrant. $2 00: 3 for $5 00 
FROLIC (Schreiner 1952) ML. 36”. 
There are countless plicatas marked with blue and _ scores 
etched cinnamon and tan, but, strangely, very few that have 
a completely solid deep yellow background throughout the 
entire flower. In Frolic we find the unusual combination of 
deft brown stippling on a solid gold ground reminding one 
of Cypripedium pubescens, the yellow ladyslipper, or of cer- 
tain tropical orchids. Frolic is most exotic and orchid-like as 
the stunning corsage on page 43 reveals. $15.00 
FROST GLINT (Whiting 1951) L. 34”. 
About the coolest white we grow. A blue white of intriguing 
form and amazingly heavy substance. A very full formed 
flower of imposing proportions. HM’51. $5.00
