Iris Descriptions and Prices — 1954 
BiuE Horizon (de Graaff) — Soft, uniform violet- 
blue iris with Indian-orange narrow stripe down 
the falls. F.C.C.H. 1934. 
EDWARD SALBACH (Salbach-de Graaff) —Of the same 
strain as National Velvet, this iris is later flower- 
ing and further distinguished by the bright 
orange, almost circular spot on the falls. A mar- 
ket flower of great potential and one worthy of 
the Salbach name. 
GoLpEN Bronze (de Graaff) —A tall iris, the falls 
are deep golden bronze, the standards have a 
touch of purple. 
GoLpEN Harvest (Unknown) —This is a good yel- 
low iris, larger than Yellow Queen. 
HEAVENLY BLUE (de Graaff) —The nicest light blue 
we have raised, a large flower that is most attrac- 
tive in the garden and for cutting. Tall and 
rugged. 
ImpERATOR (Unknown) —The well-known commer- 
cial blue iris, late and strong-growing. It is still 
one of the best. 
NATIONAL VELVET (Salbach-de Graaff) — A hybrid 
iris of a rich, deep velvety-purple color. It is the 
first of a new strain of hybrids but since it flow- 
ers with the Dutch iris we list it here. The falls 
and standards are uniform in color, the stripe on 
the falls is of a rich orange color. Even in bud 
this is a beautiful plant, the green of the clean 
foliage making a beautiful contrast with the 
purple of the unfurling flower. Highly recom- 
mended. 
PANAMINT (de Graaff) —A new introduction of ours, 
patterned after the old Huchtenburg but cleaner 
in color and with far greater refinement. The falls 
are golden-yellow and the standards ivory-white. 
RoyaL PurpLe (Salbach-de Graaff) — This is the 
third of this new race of iris offered this year. It 
has the same shape and habit as National Velvet 
but an even deeper coloring. Test shipments to 
some of our leading florists were extremely well 
received. We foresee a great future for this iris 
and recommend it to you. 
VIOLET QUEEN (de Graaff) — Another fine novelty 
actually misnamed for it might just as well have 
been called Mauve Queen. Standards and falls 
are of a uniform rich, yet soft mauve-violet color- 
ing, a most distinctive shade. 
White Superior (de Graaff) — A pure self-colored 
white of great size and beauty. Following White 
Excelsior and only a close second to White Per- 
fection these three white Dutch iris exemplify 
the quality of the de Graaff strain. 
WHITE PERFECTION (de Graaff) —The finest white 
iris in existence. Long-stemmed, long lasting and 
a prolific grower, this is both a garden and flo- 
rist’s flower without rival. Highly recommended. 
First Class Certificate in 1945.
