Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Spanish Peaks (Loomis 1944) A pure, clean white of immense proportions and most 
graceful form. It has no yellow on the haft nor in the throat. $2.00 
Spring Chimes (D, Hall 1939) A large golden russet self, a shade lighter than Night- 
ingale. This is a new and very attractive color. Very rampant grower, hardy 
and a free bloomer. The form is good and substance fair, 38”. 75c 
Spun Gold (Glutzbeck 1940) An iris of deep golden yellow. There is no veining 
or shading to mar the purity of the color. The flower is a self, but over the 
whole surface of the falls there is a velvety luster that adds to the depth of 
color. Very nicely branched with good substance. Dykes medal winner for 
1944. 38”. 715¢ 
Sylvia Murray (Norton 1944) A cross of shining Waters and Great Lakes. Lighter 
in color than either of the parents and with a silvery smoothness of pale-blue 
silk. Enormous flowers on 40” stems. A really grand, blue iris. $1.00 
Tally-ho (D. Hall 1949) The general color of this iris is something new and unusual. 
The falls are close to the deep coloring seen in fuchsia-colored orchids. The 
domed standards and lower part of falls is somewhat lighter. Large, well formed 
and of heavy substance. 32”. $7.50 
The Admiral (D. Hall 1941) Here is really an exceptionally fine blue iris. An 
effective, intense blue that is a little deeper than medium blue. The falls flare 
in a dashing manner; the finish and substance are outstanding. 75¢ 
Tip Top (Hall 1947) A striking and unusual color combination. The standards are 
a solid violet blue and the falls white, with a very delicate peppering of blue 
in the throat and on the edges of the falls. Medium sized flowers have a clean, 
crisp appearance. Well branched. Substance and form good. 30”. $1.00 
Tranquility (Fay 1950) Tranquil, serene and restful. This very large milk-white 
flower is carried on a perfectly branched strong stem 38 inches tall. The haft is 
wide and clean and the beard is white. The fiower is round and full petaled, 
with nicely flaring falls and domed standards. Very large strong plants with 
blue-green leaves. Completely winter hardy at Chicago. Midseason. $8.00 
Truly Yours (Fay 1949) This is the most sensational iris we have seen. The heart 
of the flower is bright yellow, which shades off to almost white at the bottom 
of the falls and at the top of the standards. The buds are bright yellow. The 
bottom side of the open falls is yellow and the top side is faced with white. The 
flowers are extremely large and ruffled with heavy lace edges. This is not only 
another novelty iris, it is also extremely beautiful. The general effect is a large 
creamy white iris trimmed in gold with fancy lace edges. Blooms very late; is 
winter hardy and about 38 inches tall. $15.00 
Twilight Sky (Fay 1948) A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds, 
red beard. Standards domed; falls flare at just the right angle. The flower is 
medium in size, tailored; the haft is clean. The widely spaced flowers are carried 
on a strong, graceful 35-inch stem. Plant is hardy, vigorous, and a very fast 
increaser. $2.00 
Velvet Dusk (Schreiner 1948) Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
color of that family of darks. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. Bloom is full, well-flared and rounded. Has a dull bluish-brown 
beard that is in fitting harmony with balance of the flower. 36”. $2.00
