CANDY STRIPE (Marx 1954) Each 5.00 
A color pattern of sharpest contrast and exceptional brilliance 
highlights this gay sparkling plicata. The illustration is re- 
markably true to color and portrays the elegant ruffling and 
perfect placement of the blooms on ideally branched stems. 
The large flowers are very showy and more eye catching in the 
garden than any other plicata we know. Each plant is in bloom 
for several weeks. Truly an iris with lots of personality and 
verve. See page 28. 
CAROLINE BURR (K. Smith 1940) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Large charming cream with the slightest suggestion of green.

tured on page 33. 
CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 1.50

AM 1948. 
CHANTILLY (Hall 1945) Each 1.00

ing novelty. Orchid rose self of medium size. HM AIS 1945, 
AM 1947.

The PINK of pinks. A luscious color that has ainazed all who 
have seen it and generally regarded as the finest of all the 
famous Hall “flamingo pinks”. Large ruffled flowers on 3 foot 
stems. And of course the brilliant tangerine beard character- 
istic of the new pinks. 1951 Dykes Medal winner. Pictured on 
page 28.

of the finest pink blends in big demand year after year. ‘Vall 
and a rampant grower. 
CHIVALRY (Wills 1944) Each 1.00

In our opinion it is about the ultimate in every respect except 
color. Like the reds a really BLUE iris is yet to come. AM 1946, 
DM 1947. 
CIRCUS (Marx 1950) Each 1.00 
The last of all bearded iris to bloom in our garden. In fact 
there are usually some blooms of Circus still remaining when 
the first Japanese Iris appears. This Marquita seedling delights 
all late iris fans and the bright gay color pattern is most re- 
freshing. Standards are light lemon yellow. Falls are creamy 
yellow contrasted by bright red veins. 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) Each .60; 3 for 1.50

so in clumps. HM AIS 1937, AM 1939.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. 
| wish to express my appreciation and sincere thanks for the prompt ship- 
ping, careful labeling and packing of my recent order. The DAHLIA blossoms 
were so large and gorgeous — like something out of this world. Your gen- 
erosity in substituting out of stock items for those much higher priced was 
most liberal and far beyond expectations. | have every confidence in deal- 
ing with Walter Marx Gardens and feel that | am getting more than double 
my money’s worth. John T. Lee. 
CLOUD CASTLE (Graves 1944) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Huge wisteria blue faintly tinted mauve. Tall and most effec- 
tive planted behind the new pinks. HM AIS 1944. 
COLORGLO (Schreiner 1953) Each 7.50 
Modern iris are now available in such an array of pleasing 
as well as nondescript color blends that one is often bewildered 
when trying to make a selection. Colorglo in our opinion, is 
one of the most colorful and beautiful blends introduced in 
recent years and we predict a great future for this fine iris. On 
the order of Rainbow Room but much brighter. The falls are 
rose pink suffused gold and copper about the haft. Standards 
are golden buff. Flowers are of good size on 3% foot stems. 
COLOSSAL (Marx 1946) Each 1.00 
A seedling of Wm. Mohr and El Capitan. The gigantic flowers 
are as large or larger than Ormohr. The color is quite similar 
to Ormohr but it blooms at least 10 days to two weeks earlier. 
Vigorous grower. 
CONQUEST (Marx 1952) Each 7.50 
An intriguing new hybrid described as a “blue Lady Mohr” 
by iris critics who have observed and admired the unusual 
and attractive qualities of this giant oncobred. A two toned 
flower of delicate shades, standards pale wisteria blue, falls of 
similar but lighter hue with a faint suffusion of chartreuse 
producing the bi-color effect. The imposing bloom is distin- 
guished further by a prominent bronze beard and a small 
purple signal patch. Extra early and unlike many of the hybrids, 
Conquest is vigorous and free blooming. Branching fair. Height 
about 30 inches. 
COOL LEMONADE (Muhlestein 1947) Each .75 
One of the first to bloom, this fresh, sprightly iris appeals to 
all. The light lemon yellow flowers are produced in profusion 
creating a delightful color effect in a foreground planting. 
Plant is low growing up to 30 inches. 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) Each .60; 3 for 1.50

Medal in 1938. There is nothing else like it. 
COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner 1951) Each 4.00 
Glittering metallic copper brown describes this glistening new 
iris. A seedling from Bryce Canyon X Sunset Serenade with all 
the qualities of a top flight iris. 
DAME FASHION (Marx 1954) Sold out until 1956. Each 30.00 
Our beautiful pink seedling that has created more excitement 
among visiting iris fanciers than any other seedling we have 
grown. Qualified critics familiar with most of the new “fla- 
mingo pinks” warmly praised this iris and on different occa- 
sions last year proclaimed it to be the finest pink they had 
seen anywhere. A large, ruffled Cherie x Pink Formal seed- 
ling decidedly pinker than either besides inheriting the best 
qualities of its illustrious parents. Color is near baby pink 
and unlike most iris the color intensifies as the flower ages. 
And of course the brilliant tangerine beard is present. Perfect 
three way branched stems 31% to 4 feet in height. Midseason. 
DAWN REFLECTION (Stevens 1948) Each 3.00 
Considered to be one of the largest if not the largest plicatas. 
The wavy flowers are ivory with the edges of the falls stippled 
rosy purple, the standards suffused a lighter shade of rose 
purple. The immense blooms are poised on well branched 
3 foot stems. One of the most charming iris. 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) Each .75 
Warm golden pink blend with buff overtones especially in 
standards and hafts. This iris has contended for highest honors 
ever since its introduction. HM 1942, AM 1943. 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
Without doubt this is one of the finest dark iris grown today. 
The glowing deep reddish violet flowers are simply stunning. 
Quite fragrant. HM AIS 1941, AM 1942.
