DRUM MAJOR (Douglas 1947) ML. 38’’. 
A broad, roundly formed rosy cast red. The falls have a 
velvety flush and the smooth coloring of the entire flower, 
even to the red colored styles, gives an overall deep rose-red 
effect. Especially good for warmer sections. $3.00 
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 ECHO (Tompkins 1948) ML. 33”. 
A provocative, attractive flower with crisp, horizontal flaring 
flowers touched with ruffling. A deep carmine red with heavy 
brown overlay that shines like a black sheen. Highly unusual 
and richly colored. HM’49. AM’53. $7.50 
EBONY QUEEN (Sass 1947) EM. 36’. 
A dark, blackish purple Ivis from the Sasses. Medium 
large blooms on well branched stems, fragrant. HM’47. 
AM’53. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
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. $5 00 
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 on 
page 51. HM’44. AM’47. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
FANTASY (D. Hall 1947) EM. 30’. * 
Possessing that touch of distinction, this Iris is one of our 
favorites. Different from any other sort of rose and orchid 
pink combination, the shadings have a touch of purplish 
raspberry. The broad, full blooms have a bit of ruffle, the 
heart of the flower is brilliantly lit up by an effective tan- 
gerine beard. HM’47. AM’49. Pictured page 28. $5.00 
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. 
An Iris that commands your attention; snappy and _ brisk. 
Pictured page 32. HM’43. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
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. $3.00 
FLARE (Schreiner 1951) M. 34”. 
Here is a brilliant flash of color. The standards are orange 
yellow, 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. $2.50 
FLYING SAUCER (Schreiner 1953) ML. 38”. 
You will not only stop and look once but 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 
JANE PHILLIPS 
FRANCES CRAIG (Craig 1952) E. 38’. 
This immense silvery lavender blue is one of the very finest 
of all the Mohr hybrids. Quantities of varieties have been 
raised in this general coloring but for substance, size, quality 
and color FRANCES CRAIG, without doubt, is close to per- 
fection. One of the very finest varieties raised by Mr. Craig. 
$15.00 
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. 
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 en- 
tire flower. In Frolic we find the unusual combination of 
deft brown stippling on a solid gold ground reminding one 
of the yellow ladyslipper, or of certain tropical orchids. Frolic 
is most exotic and orchid like as the stunning corsage on page 
25 reveals. $12.00 
GALA FINALE (DeForest 1950) ML. 37’’. 
Dramatically, this rich yellow ground plicata is heavily over- 
laid glowing Indian red, giving a spicy splash of gorgeous 
* La =a 9 } 
color. HM’52. $6.00 
GALATEA (Schreiner 1953) M. 36’. 
This Iris can best be visualized as a vast improvement on 
Melitza. The soft pinky-fawn tones are much clearer so the en- 
tire flower is very fresh looking. Blooms are 2 to 3 times as 
large. $4.00 
GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass 1941) M. 34’. » 
A rich rose with deeper tints of rose and brown in the center, 
or perhaps more truly descriptive, a rosy garnet. A striking 
Iris with large, rounded flowers. Pictured page 53. HM’40. 
AM’43. $1.00; 3 for $2.50
