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 Iris. $2.50 
TRULY YOURS (Fay 1949) L. 40’. * 
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. The most ruffled, lace-edged Iris. We have only 
a limited supply. AM’51. DM’53. Pictured page 40. 
$15.00 
VANITY FAIR (Hall 1951) L. 36’. 
One of the very few flamingo pinks that flower later in the 
season. Also invaluable because of its color which rivals Pink 
Sensation in depth and richness of pink, a very smooth, well 
tailored and worthy Iris. We consider it one of the finest of 
all the flamingo pink Iris. $10.00 
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. 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 har- 
mony with the flower. Tall stems. Pictured on page 23. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
VENTURA (Walker 1949) M. 36”. 
This fine Iris was a pleasant surprise to us when we first saw 
it in California. A very lovely mulberry with heavily marked 
chocolate shoulders alongside the gold beard. An Iris that de- 
serves a place in the Iris limelight. Certainly very much over- 
looked, we recommend it most wholeheartedly. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50

VERNAL PEACE (Stevens 1952) L. 34’. 
A lovely cool, light yellow Iris. Actually it is a two-toned yel- 
low 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. $7.50 
VICE REGAL (Miles 1946) EM. 34’. 
A fine velvety bronzy red-purple practically a self. We feel we 
cannot emphasize the importance of fine purple Iris in the 
garden too much. They give the depth and timbre to the gar- 
den composition. HM’47. AM’51. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (Smith 1940) M. 40”. 
A gleaming lilacmauve self, the individual blooms have a 
finished apearance as if precisely carved. Huge in size, broad 
petaled. A splendid Iris whose quiet beauty ranks it near the 
top of its class. HM’40. AM’43. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
VOODOO (Kleinsorge 1948) M. 34”. 
Not a briliant Iris, this two-toned chocolate tan with rich red- 
maroon-brown falls with crimped and fluted edges is an un- 
usual creation. You will find it a superb subject to cut and 
bring indoors, it combines so well. $1.50 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36”. 
Fresh toned as any orchid is this amoena with snowy white 
standards and ultramarine-blue falls with brighter margin- 
ing. One of the very few true amoenas, it is a long time 
favorite. AM’38. DM’40. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
WAKARUSA (Lapham 1941) EM. 34’. 
Brilliant and vivid, a striking orange and bright red. In effect 
a burnt-orange bicolor with velvety falls. As brilliant and 
colorful an Iris as we grow. HM’41. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
WATCHFIRE (Stevens 1948) M. 38”. 
Watchfire was our choice from a whole series of blends char- 
acterized by their splendid height and better than usual 
branching. The stiff stems, well branched, will interest the 
breeder. A copper with a red cast whose brilliant colors are 
carried aloft and show from afar. A wonderful clump. $2.00
