TALL BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell 1946) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Large golden pink blend that stands out in a group in which 
competition is now extremely keen. The warm tones of com- 
bined pink and yellow is appealing and visitors never pass it 
without some words of praise. 40 inches. HM 1946. 
ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass 1942) Each .75 
A brilliant iris in the same color class as Rocket. Standards 
are clear bright yellow. Falls bronze yellow brushed orange red. 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) Each 1.00 
Considered the finest Wm. Mohr seedling to date. This im- 
mense reddish violet flower with slight ruffling and elegant 
form won the Dykes Medal in 1945. Picture on page 33. 
ELSA SASS (H. Sass 1939) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
An entirely new shade which shows up occasionally among 
yellow plicata seedlings. The flowers are a sparkling lemon 
yellow with a blaze of white on the falls. HM 1939, AM 1941. 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) Each .60 
One of the very few tall bearded varieties that is a reliable 
fall bloomer here. Large wine red flowers and most popular 
with visitors. 
EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) Each 1.00 
A highly rated new amoena on the order of the older Shah 
Jehan. Standards are cream white. Falls a blend of red purple 
and copper. Very late. HM AIS 1944, AM 1947. Picture page 36. 
FANTASY (Hall 1943) Each 3.50 
Delicious new tone of pink that has appeared among Dr. Hall’s 
famous flamingo pinks. The large flowers are orchid, or rasp- 
berry pink as some critics choose to describe this new color. 
HM AIS 1947, AM 1949. 
FIRECRACKER (Hall 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
This most brilliant of all plicatas stands out like a beacon in the 
garden. Bright burgundy red markings on a yellow ground that 
always attracts attention. HM AIS 1943. 
FORWARD (Marx 1952) Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
Purest chrome or lemon yellow self. Definitely a step forward 
in the development of a lemon yellow self. Even the beard is 
of similar color. The flowers of medium size are borne on well 
branched slender stems. A most appealing iris with arching 
rich green leaves very resistant to leaf spot. 40 inches. Late. 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
This old timer is still a very popular variety, and justly so. 
Large pinkish lilac flowers of classic form and sweet fragrance. 
GALA FINALE (De Forest 1950) Each 3.50 
Bizarre and flashy plicata that usually draws that second look. 
Rich yellow ground heavily plicated Indian red. Rather late. 
HM AIS 1952. 
GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass 1941) Each .75 
Unlike any other red iris. Defenitely a rose toned variety with 
less yellow or purple than displayed in all other reds. The color 
is warm and pleasing and we regret that this grand iris is 
a slow increaser. HM AIS 1940, AM 1943. 
GARDEN GLORY (Whiting 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
An absolute self of rich bordeaux red with smooth enameled 
finish. Truly one of the best of the new reds. One of our 
favorites. HM AIS 1945, AM 1947. 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
Still a top ranking red which compares favorably with the 
more recent and higher priced novelties. HM AIS 1937. 
GAY ORCHID (Muhlestein 1949) Each 2.00 
The deepest pure orehid self that we have seen and one of the 
finest of all Muhlestein introductions. Large flowers with flar- 
ing form and early. HM 1949. 
GIBSON GIRL (Gibson 1948) Each 1.00 
A heavily marked plicata on the order of Tiffany that is prov- 
ing its garden value twofold as a reliable rebloomer. For the 
past 3 years we have enjoyed many fine blooms in the fall as 
well as spring. Of the tall bearded iris Ethel Peckham and 
Gibson Girl are the two most consistent rebloomers we grow.

LAKE ANDES, S. Dak. 
Thank you for the splendid order | received yesterday. The DAYLILIES 
especially were far superior to anything | ever received. Revolute was a regu- 
lar clump. Thank you so VERY much. Mrs. Dave Corrington.

GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
We think this is one of the iris aristocrats. Large noble flowers 
of frosted light blue and delightful wavy form. Every garden 
should have it. HM AIS 1933, AM 1935. 
GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting 1950) Each 2.00 
If you seek the finest deep golden yellow self and cannot afford 
to buy Solid Gold this year then settle for Gold Sovereign. 
Both are leaders in their color class and have won highest 
praise throughout the land. 
GOLDEN EAGLE (Hall 1942) Each .60 
Satiny clear light yellow of immense size. A beautiful iris and 
a good growcr everywhere. Early. HM AIS 1942. 
GOLDEN LAKE (Marx 1953) Each 2.00 
Glittering golden yellow of unmatched intensity, has all the 
desirable habits of a top flight garden plant. The flower is rich 
and brilliant like the color of Ola Kala but at least 4 larger. 
Tall slender stems perfectly branched that carry 4 or 5 open 
flowers at a time for weeks. Vigorous habit and a rapid in- 
creaser. Midseason. 4 feet. 
GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
Name describes this giant iris which is among the biggest of 
all. Warm appealing color. HM AIS 1947, AM 1952. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner 1952) Each 7.50 
The purest and clearest yellow iris on the market today. An 
absolute self of perfect form and large size, we believe this 
beautiful iris will delight all who prefer yellow above other 
colors in their garden. Over 3 feet. Midseason. 
GOLDEN SYMPHONY (Horten 1944) Each 2.00 
Truly a symphony of colors this fine iris will appeal to all who 
favor the softer shades. Standards are buff toned yellow, falls 
a blending of blue purple and bronze. The massive flowers 
possess elegant form. Very late. 
GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge 1946) Each 1.50 
Sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon and the brightest 
of the three. Color is near mustard yellow or golden buff but 
of a brilliance rarely seen in this shade. Large broad flowers 
on a 32 inch stem. HM AIS 1947. 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
An odd and enchanting blend of plum, copper and gold which 
we like better every year. A color combination resembling some 
of the Breeder Tulips. HM AIS 1943, AM 1944. Pictured on 
page 32. 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
In 1942 this iris won the Dykes Medal and has been the most 
popular blue variety ever since. Pure light blue flowers on 
well branched stems. Picture on page 33. 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
A gigantic white on rather short stems best suited for fore- 
ground planting. Heavy gold beard adds to its beauty. No 
garden should be without it. 
GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) Each 1.00 
The best dark blue iris we have seen. Unlike the lighter shades 
of blue most of the dark varieties of this color carry so much 
purple in their pigment that there is actually little blue to see. 
Of uniform color without haft markings this fine iris has been 
widely acclaimed and justly so. Large flowers on 40 inch stems. 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) Each .60 
A giant among variegatas. The deep orange standards and 
brownish maroon falls present a bold and resplendent flower. 
The immense blooms on stout 40 inch stems stand out in any 
part of the garden. Very late. HM AIS 1945. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall 1952) Each 8.00 
Perhaps the finest flamingo pink to date from Mr. Hall. Color 
is similar to Heritage but much larger. Deeper in color than 
Ballerina and more colorful than Cherie. A strong grower and 
a fast increaser. 3 feet. HM AIS 1952. 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
A beautiful orchid pink self of much larger size and better 
form than the old orchid pink varieties. Very floriferous and 
most effective in a clump. HM AIS 1945.
