RUFFLED BROCADE (Marx 1953) Each 4.00 
Intensely ruffled with an extremely tufted center composed of 
several petaloids and colored in chameleon like fashion this 
intriguing iris is most difficult to describe. The central portion 
is medium bluish violet marked by conspicuous yellow spears 
which in turn are further emphasized by deep blue borders 
like halos. The outer portion becomes lighter in shades of lav- 
ender and orchid. The double 8 inch flowers possess superior 
substance withstanding all kinds of weather. Perfect 3 way 
branched stems each producing 6 to 8 flowers. Height 4 feet. 
Midseason. 
SNOWY HILLS (Marx 1954) Each 7.50 
Snowy white with an all around frilly rim, a feature inherited 
from the pollen parent, Perfect Peace. Definitely a finer iris of 
larger size, much better form and greater height. In fact sev- 
eral fanciers consider this to be our best double white to date. 
Wonderful substance and the frilly or crimped border are 
highlights of this superior iris. Midseason. 4 feet. 
SORCERER’S TRIUMPH (Marx 1954) Each 7.50 
Our finest veined iris with the sharpest and most contrasting 
color pattern of all. Extravagant and bizarre an exotic flower 
indeed suggestive of the Orient. Lightly ruffled double flowers, 
both standards and falls pure white with wide spaced red 
purple penciling. The brilliant purple styles stand out in bold 
relief and the deep orange spears add an extra dash of color. 
An elegantly formed flower and one of the most striking 
varieties in our entire collection. Midseason to late. 
STORM AT SEA (Marx 1954) Each 5.00 
Huge, impressive Otomene seedling. Double 10 inch flowers of 
bright lavender shading to plum purple on the outer portion. 
Deeper veining radiates from a purple center. Large yellow sig- 
nals extend prominently out on the falls. Dark purple styles. 
Four foot stems bear many magnificent blooms after Otomene 
is past. Quite similar in color to its parent and will appeal to 
those who prefer the double type. 
TEMPLE MAIDEN (Marx 1953) Each 2.50 
The rare delicate shades, a prime feature of Japanese Iris, 
manifest refinement and tranquility not visible in any other 
type of Iris. We selected this seedling for its beautiful lavender 
tone with just the faintest suggestion of orchid pink. An ab- PUNE St RIte 
solute self even to the upright lavender styles. Large 10 inch THUNDER & LIGHTNING (Marx 1954) Each 5.00 
flowers of artistic mold and sleek texture. Branched 40 inch Vivid red violet double that outshines other red varieties. The 
stems. Midseason. lustre or sheen is most intense. Prominent orange spears and a 
glowing electric blue center combine to give us a flower of daz- 
zling beauty. Beautifully ruffled this seedling displays the best 
qualities of its splendid parents, Hisakata and Mahogany. In 
fact this cross has produced many spectacular seedlings now 
under observation. Midseason to late. 
WORLD’S DELIGHT (Marx 1953) Each 5.00 
In the pink class World’s Delight represents a marked improve- 
ment over such varieties as Light-in-the-Opal, Norma, Pink 
Pearl and the like. The color is uniform light orchid pink with- 
out a trace of the blue zone characteristic to most of the older 
pinkish varieties. Even the styles are shaded pink and the yel- 
low spears are of minimum size. Three to four double 7 inch 
flowers on 40 inch stems are produced from early to midseason.
