SUZETTE (Knowlton 1945) EM. 38”. 
As pert as a French mademoiselle. An airily marked plicata 
of rose madder on edges of standards and falls, this overlaid 
on a creamy background. HM’45. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SYLISTA (Mitchell 1950) M. 36”. 
This snow sculptured beauty with its prominent yellow shoul- 
ders, haft and bright beard is a classic. Of several of this 
general color pattern we believe this is the most artful 
achievement. Relatively unknown, it is destined for great 
popularity. $3.50 
SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton 1944) EM. 38”. 
An Iris of precise styling, lovely poise and smooth tailored 
appearance. A beautiful very light blue of classic form. There 
is a charm about blue Iris that other Iris, with the possible 
exception of the new pinks, somehow miss. Fragrant. HM’46. 
AM’49. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36”. 
Strong growing tea rose with buff shadings. ‘This deep shade 
of mallow pink with its coppery shading gives the effect of a 
copper pink. Perfect form. HM’45. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
TECHNICOLOR (Whiting 1950) M. 34”. 
A brilliant red with a Spanish brown cast, this breeder‘s 
closest approach to red with just a hint of mahogany. A rich 
and glowing color from the cross of Garden Glory x Rocket, 
both superior Iris in their own right. HM/’50. $10.00 
THE ADMIRAL (Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper than 
medium blue but not really dark. Form is unusual. Falls 
flare in a dashing way and the finish and substance age out- 
standing. HM’40. AM’44. 75c: 3 for $2 00 
THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton 1945) EM. 38”. 
A gleaming, large full formed white Iris with a bright gold 
haft and a bright orange beard. Striking and spectacular with 
as prominent a beard as can be imagined. HM’46. AM’51. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THE ORIOLE (Schreiner 1947) ML. 36”. 
The Oriole has the greatest contrast of colors we have seen 
outside of the amoenas. The standards are a shade of golden- 
red yellow, the falls rich blackish maroon so deep the flowers 
almost look like a piece of black and gold velvet. It is not a 
fast grower. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent Iris. A vibrant red of rich plush-like quality. 
Rich, rosy wine red solid to the haft. It is a sterling, gor- 
geously rich, deep dark Dahlia red. Critics agree it is one 
of the finest Iris we have. AM’39. DM’41. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
THOTMES III (Kleinsorge 1950) M. 40”. 
A sultry, sombre medium to light toned golden tan with a 
bronze beard and very broad, large flowers; a blend of merit. 
HM’51. $11 00 
THREE CHEERS (Cook 1945) M. 38”. 
A brilliant, sharply contrasting, blue bicolor. The stand- 
ards are an opaque light blue almost blue-white; the falls a 
sort of ultramarine-purple. Prominent whitish beard. Ilus- 
trated page 23. HM’46. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THREE OAKS Whiting 1943) M. 38”. 
This glowing, massive old-rose-pink blend with very broad 
flowers is an eye catcher. The pleasant color has a mellow 
tone and the flower is high-lighted with an overlay of rosy 
copper, pleasantly ruffled. Branched stems, long blooming 
season. HM’45. AM’49. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Smooth, clear cut plicata, stylishly assembled. Standards 
creamy colonial buff with more white cast falls, both speckled 
and sprinkled light golden brown. HM’44. AM’46. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose stitching on a 
yellow background. The pattern is a most pleasing one. 
There is a freshness about this yellow plicata that makes 
it one of our favorites. HM’39. AM’43. 50c: 3 for $1.25 
TOURNAMENT (Wills 1948) L. 40”. 
One of the finest additions to lengthen the Iris blooming 
season is the fine rose-purple Tournament. Large blooms, 
copiously formed, ideal garden qualities. Prolong your iris 
bloom with this fine variety. $2.50 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1942) ML. 36”. 
A massive flower of a rich shade of vivid yellow. The pure 
golden tones are washed lighter cream at the very center 
of the flower. Rich golden beard, tall stems, moderately 
branched, large flowers and hardy. HM’39. AM’45. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
TROPIC MOON (Stevens 1950) E. 33”. 
Eye-level Iris may droop their falls with impunity but border 
Iris are more colorful if they have flaring form. This happily 
named lemon-cream qualifies in both form and _floriferous- 
ness, as well as in color, as a pre-eminent border Ivis. $3.50 
TRULY YOURS (Fay 1949) L. 40”. 
This is our candidate for the most ruffled, lace-edged Iris. 
A spectacular flower, the heart of the bloom is bright yellow 
shading to white at the edges of petals. Unopened buds are 
yellow and the under side of the falls are yellow though 
white on top. A very limited stock allows us to offer only a 
few rhizomes. HM’49. AM’51. $17.50 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. Seis 
Rich and majestic, a glossy blue-purple self with a satin-like 
finish. Heavily textured, broad formed blooms, wide spread- 
ing falls. Tall stalks carry many flowers. This color is always 
needed in the garden and this Iris is a reliable grower where 
many darks are less so. HM’43. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
VELVET DUSK (Schreiner 1948) ML. 36”. 
Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the coloring 
of that family of darks with a rich glisten like the glow and 
sheen of a piece of black fur. The good sized flowers are 
carried on well-branched stems. The bloom is full, well flared 
and rounded. Its form seems as if chiseled and the sonorous 
dull bluish brown beard is in fitting harmony with the 
flower. Taller stems than most dark Iris possess. Pictured 
on page 47. $2.50 
VENTURA (Walker 1949) M. 36”. 
This fine Iris was a pleasant surprise on our last trip to 
California to view new Iris. A very lovely mulberry with 
heavily marked chocolate shoulders alongside the gold beard. 
An Iris that deserves a place in the Iris limelight. Certainly 
very much overlooked, we recommend it most wholeheartedly. 
$1.25 
VERNAL PEACE (Stevens 1952) L. 34”. 
Have you ever taken a walk in the woods in spring and re- 
clined alongside a cool brook and absorbed the play of sun- 
light on the ground and running water? Such is the feeling 
of inward peace inspired by the quiet tones of this lovely 
cool light yellow Iris. Actually it is a two-toned yellow, as if 
the falls were bathed in just a bit more sunlight. Interior 
decorators love these serene lemon tones and they are just 
as useful in the garden. $10.00
