VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith ‘40) 
(Easter Morn X Violet Crown) 
This huge, broad petaled flower is a gleaming lilac-mauve 
self of great distinction. H.M. ‘40 - A.M. ‘43 
M 40” $.75 
VOODOO (Kleinsorge ‘48) M $1.00 
(Mexico X Tobacco Road) 
This flaring, ruffled variegata has yellowish-brown standards 
and falls of a deep garnet-brown. A sister seedling to ‘Pretty 
Quadroon’. 
WABASH (M. Williamson ‘36) M-L $.60 
(Dorothy Dietz X Cantibile) 
A striking flower in a class which has few examples. The 
white standards are waved and rise above falls of a very 
deep violet with a rich velvety texture. 
H.M. ’37 - A.M. ‘38 - Dykes Medal '40 
WARPATH (Craig ‘51) M 36” $6.00 
[(China Maid X Tiffany) X (Sultan's Robe) ] X (Prairie 
Sunset X Brilliant Amber) 
A handsome self of copper-red with an all over iridescence. 
It probably carries the genes for rich blends and plicatas 
as well as a tendency to re-bloom. 
WEIRDIE (Craig ‘49) $1.50 
(Sister to Rich Raiment) 
A really different fancy blend which has the effect of deli- 
cately washed buff and tones of rose. 
WESTERN HILLS (F. A. Brown ‘51) M $1.50 
(?Radiant?) 
Here is quite a reliable rebloomer and should prove valuable 
as a parent along this line. The flowers melt from golden 
mustard to tan and brown and the falls have a flush of that 
strange blue in the peacock’s neck. 
WHITE CITY (Murrell ‘39) EM $.75 
(Unknown) 
The blue-white silkey flowers have a deeper blue finish at 
the throat. Dyke’s Medal, England ‘40 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner ‘41) 
WHITE PEACOCK (Paitison ‘50) M 40” $12.00 
(Lady Boscawen X Katherine Fay) 
An outstanding achievement by an outstanding lady! The 
large, beautifully ruffled flowers have an ethereal quality of 
blue infused into its classic white color. We are not overly 
impressed ordinarily by yellow, blue or white Iris but we 
went overboard for this one. 
WHITE RUFFLES (C. Taylor ‘47) E-M-L $3.00 
(Snow Flurry X Princess of Brentwood) 
The wide ruffled flowers of white are lighted with gold at 
the hafts. H.M. ‘47 
WILMA VALETTE (Craig ‘50) M $1.50 
(Rich Raiment X Joseph’s Mantle) 
This large all over patterned fancy is just what you would 
expect from its parentage. The crimson-burgundy flowers 
have a richness which is almost a Craig Hallmark. 
M 38” $.75 
(Violet Crown X Easter Morn) 
A pure white of ruffled flaring form. It has good substance 
and despite its Easter Morn parentage (sometimes found 
tender) it has proven winter hardy. H.M. ‘42 
ZANTHA (Fay ‘47) E-M $2.00 
(Gold Medal : Crown of Gold X Lady Paramount) X 
(41-42 : Golden Hind X probably Jean Cayeux) 
This clear brilliant yellow has a really huge bloom. To add 
to its honors, it is the pollen parent of the 1953 Dykes Medal 
winner—'Truly Yours’. H.M. ‘47 
ZEBRA (pallida variegata) M 30” $.75. 
Interesting as a novelty. Its leaves are striped or marbled 
with cream. The flowers are lavender blue.
