TALL BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
We think this is one of the iris aristocrats. Large noble flowers 
of frosted light blue and delightful wavy form. Every garden 
should have it. HM AIS 1933, AM 1935. 
GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting 1950) Each 3.50 
If you seek the finest deep golden yellow self and cannot afford 
to buy Solid Gold this year then settle for Gold Sovereign. 
Both are leaders in their color class and have won highest 
praise throughout the land. Picture on page 37. 
GOLDEN EAGLE (Hall 1942) Each .75 
Satiny clear light yellow of immense size. A beautiful iris and 
a good grower everywhere. Early. HM AIS 1942. 
GOLDEN LAKE (Marx 1953) Each 3.00 
Glittering golden yellow of unmatched intensity, has all the 
desirable habits of a top flight garden plant. The flower is rich 
and brilliant like the color of Ola Kala but at least 14 larger. 
Tall slender stems perfectly branched that carry 4 or 5 open 
flowers at a time for weeks. Vigorous habit and a rapid in- 
creaser. As before we have delayed introduction until we had 
sufficient stock to offer this fine iris at a price within the 
reach of all iris lovers. Midseason. 4 feet. 
GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
Name describes this giant iris which is among the biggest of 
all. Warm appealing color. HM AIS 1947, AM 1952. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner 1952) Each 10.00 
The purest and clearest yellow iris on the market today. An 
absolute self of perfect form and large size, we believe this 
beautiful iris will delight all who prefer yellow above other 
colors in their garden. Over 3 feet. Midseason. 
GOLDEN SYMPHONY (Horten 1944) Each 4.00 
Truly a symphony of colors this fine iris will appeal to all who 
favor the softer shades. Standards are buff toned yellow, falls 
a blending of blue purple and bronze. The massive flowers 
possess elegant form. Very late. 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) Each 1.50 
Sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon and the brightest 
of the three. Color is near mustard yellow or golden buff but 
of a brilliance rarely seen in this shade. Large broad flowers 
on a 32 inch stem. HM AIS 1947. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
An odd and enchanting blend of plum, copper and gold which 
we like better every year. A color combination resembling some 
of the Breeder Tulips. HM AIS 1943, AM 1944. 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
In 1942 this iris won the Dykes Medal and has been the most 
popular blue variety ever since. Pure light blue flowers on 
well branched stems. Picture on page 33. 
GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) Each 1.00 
The best dark blue iris we have seen. Unlike the lighter shades 
of blue most of the dark varieties of this color carry so much 
purple in their pigment that there is actually little blue to see. 
Of uniform color without haft markings this fine iris has been 
widely acclaimed and justly so. Large flowers on 40 inch stems. 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) Each .75 
A giant among variegatas. The deep orange standards and 
brownish maroon falls present a bold and resplendent flower. 
The immense blooms on stout 40 inch stems stand out in any 
part of the garden. Very late. HM AIS 1945. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall 1952) Each 12.00 
Perhaps the finest flamingo pink to date from Mr. Hall. Color 
is similar to Heritage but much larger. Deeper in color than 
Ballerina and more colorful than Cherie. A strong grower and 
a fast increaser. 3 feet. HM AIS 1952. 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A beautiful orchid pink self of much larger size and better 
form than the old orchid pink varieties. Very floriferous and 
most effective in a clump. HM AIS 1945. 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) Each 2.00 
The queen of all light blue iris and winner of the coveted 
Dykes medal in 1949. Of ethereal beauty and majestic port this 
champion iris will be in great demand for years to come. One 
that delights the most fastidious. 
HERITAGE (Hall 1949) Each 5.00 
Selected from hundreds of Flamingo pink seedlings this fine 
iris is just a shade deeper than Cherie. Noteworthy for its 
graceful lines, superior substance and smooth uniform color. 
Height about 3 feet. Few plants. HM 1949, AM 1951. 
ahi 
INSPIRATION (Stevens 1937) Each 1.00 
A beautiful and unique variety developed in New Zealand. 
The novel color is described as rose cerise or rosy carmine and 
there is no other iris quite like it. The huge fragrant flowers 
are carried on 40 inch stems. Midseason. 
JANE PHILLIPS (Graves 1950) Each 5.00 
Just about the nearest approach to true blue. A shade deeper 
than its parent Helen McGregor and just as elegant in form 
and size. We give this enchanting flower our heartiest recom- 
mendation. HM AIS 1950. AM 1952. 
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
Truly a magnificent iris in the garden. Large flowers with 
coppery gold standards and coppery red falls. A very early 
bloomer that attracts everyone. HM AIS 1936, AM 1937. 
LADY ALBRIGHT (Muhlestein 1950) Each 6.50 
Many who have seen this glorious creation agree that it is one 
of the most colorful blends. Standards are coppery rose, falls 
deep rosy lavender trimmed same color as the standards. Very 
few plants. HM 1950. 
LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves 1946) Each 1.00 
We rank this regal beauty and New Snow as two of the very 
finest white introductions. The well branched stems up to 4 
feet in height bear many large ruffled flowers over a long 
period. HM 1946, AM 1948. 
LADY MOMHR (Salbach 1944) Each 1.00 
The most distinctive novelty of the Wm. Mohr derivatives. 
Exotic in appearance and of elegant form this iris is entirely 
different. The domed standards are oyster white, the wide 
rounded falls soft olive yellow with dark veins and a dark red- 
dish patch surrounding the beard. HM AIS 1944, AM 1946. 
LADY OF SHALLOT (Schreiner 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Dainty flowers of lightly ruffled form with white standards 
flushed soft rose and white falls margined with a peppering 
of rose pink. Midseason. 
LEADING LADY (Lyell 1949) Each 4.00 
Yes, this scintillating lady leads the parade of the new ice or 
lemon yellow iris. In no other variety are the white and lemon 
tones so sharply contrasted. It was a case of love at first sight 
with us and we think you too will be quickly won over by 
this beauty. 3 feet. Picture on page 36. 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1946) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
Very large bright rose blend with just the slightest touch of 
yellow on the haft. A noble flower. HM AIS 1937, AM 1940. 
LIGHTS ON (Lapham 1946) Each 1.50 
A definite step nearer to the first RED iris. A redder and larger 
Red Gleam but not as tall. Outstanding. HM AIS 1946. 
LOTHARIO (Schreiner 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A regal iris of huge and striking color. Color pattern is quite 
like Amigo but twice the size. 
LOUISE BLAKE (K. Smith 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
This was one of the loveliest iris in our garden last year. An- 
other with the Amigo color pattern but so much more glittering 
that it can hardly be compared with the older and duller 
variety. HM AIS 1944, AM 1947. 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
The finest dark brown iris with a velvety finish. HM AIS 1939. 
Picture on page 32. 
LUCKY STAR (Marx 1950) Each 1.00 
Crossing Amigo with Shah Jehan produced this intriguing iris 
of rounded form and largest size. Standards are creamy yellow, 
falls are the same color tinted blue which vanishes as the flower 
ages. A lovely new cream and a remarkable color considering 
its parentage. The globular flowers are perfectly placed on 
well branched 3 foot stems. Early to midseason. 
LYNN LANGFORD (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
Occasionally we see a new iris which is much more beautiful 
than anticipated. This is one. A lustrous lavender pink self 
except for the golden yellow glow in the center. Large flowers 
of excellent texture and substance. HM AIS 1946, AM 1950. 
MAGIC CARPET (Schreiner 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Heavily marked plicata on the order of Firecracker with a 
light color pattern. 
MAJENICA (Cook 1941) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
A large pinkish blend with just a tint of salmon. An iris of good 
habits and especially colorful in large clumps. HM AIS 1943. 
MARQUITA (Cayeux 1931) Each .60 
Every iris collection should include this glorious variety. The 
extra large standards are pure cream or ivory, the falls the 
same color but completely veined dark rose red. A rather late 
variety. AM 1936.
