New Snow Each $2.50 
A white Iris which is neither warm nor a cold white but is as white as 
new snow. The beard is full and bright yellow, adding a great deal of 
life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft veinings 
or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches tall, the big 
flowers very much ruffled and flaring. 
Nightfall Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
The falls are very velvety rich dark pansy-purple with almost no vein- 
ing on the haft. Standards are several ‘shades lighter than the falls, 
making a very striking color combination. Plush-like substance with a 
glistening sheen. 36 inches tall, well branched. One of the finest, if not 
the finest of the dark blue-black Iris. Makes a superb contrast along- 
side a white variety. 
Ola Kala Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Here is a deep yellow Iris that perhaps outdoes all others for depth of 
color and in addition its petals are heavily ruffled. Medium large flow- 
ers on nicely branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the 
Orange side. Considered one of the finest new Iris. 
Old Parchment Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
A light creamy tan with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color break 
and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and closed; 
falls flaring and rather tailored in appearace. A perfectly huge bloom, 
heavy of substance, and the longest lasting variety in our garden. 
Pink Reflection Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 
thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and 
clean-cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard 
is lemon. Height 3 feet; late flowering, prolonging the Iris season. 
Prairie Sunset Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
All that has been said about this gorgeous creation is true, but it 
simply has to be seen to be realized. Fhe blendings of peach, apricot, 
rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at a loss to describe 
it in a manner that might be conceived in the mind of the listener. A 
fine big flower, and the color will absolutely stun you when first you 
see it, and every time you see it! Dykes Medal, 1943. 
Ranger Each $1.50, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.00 
Very dark crimson-red. The standards are closed and are long and 
cone-shaped, while the wide falls are like smooth rich velvet. Most 
unusual and showy. A late bloomer. 
Redward Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $18.00 
Deepest crimson-red—an approach to red from the purple side without 
the orange or brown influence. A large and brilliant Iris with widely 
flaring velvety falls. One of the finest in this color group. 
- 
Sable Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65

beard. Sable has every attribute that a fine Iris should possess; large 
size, reasonably tall stalks, thick substance and a wonderfully lustrous 
sheen. Everybody wants Sable. 
Sleepy Hollow Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Handsome iridescent, rich, velvety, deep violet flowers. A stunning deep 
color note in the garden; regardless of its detph the color carries well.

good landscape qualities. 
Solid Mahogany Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz $7.25 
This grand new red is one of the finest dark Irises of recent years.

venation and a deep bronze-gold beard accents the richness of the 
Plush-like falls. Height 3 feet. 
Spun Gold Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Perhaps the most famous yellow Iris ever introduced. It has all of the

low color. Eagerly sought after because of its fine record. 
Sunny Ruffles Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz $4.00 
The name describes the Iris. Of a glorious new lemon-yellow-chrome.

are ruffled also and add to the beauty of the whole plant. A very 
choice variety. : 
The Red Douglas Each 75c, Three $1.86, Doz. $5.65

Immense flowers of silken blue-white with a flush of plumbago-blue

Gee Kaempferi RAINBOW IRIS 
The ancient poets called their Iris, Ground Rainbows; also Children 
of the Gods. A promise from them that beauty on earth would ever be. 
The finest of all their varieties is the Kaempferi which we offer you in 
a wide choice of colors. Not the least of their fine points is the grace- 
ful foliage. A thing of beauty after the blooms are past. 
Planted in a mass, or as a border, they are ideal. A few edging a 
reflecting pool or stream, is something to remember. No matter how 
fine your Iris collection may be, not to have these is to deprive yourself 
of something that will make it complete. 
CULTURE. Late plantings should be protected by a light covering 
of straw or leaves after the ground is permanently frozen to prevent 
roots from being heaved out of the ground by frost. Plant in spring 
or September and October. Avoid all lime.
