Lonug’s “TOP OF THE WORLD” IRIS 
Proudly We Present 
Two beautiful new Iris from the noted hybridist, Mrs. C. G. Whiting, of Mapleton, 
Iowa. With her retirement from the field of commercial iris selling in order to 
devote her time and effort exclusively to hybridizing, Mrs. Whiting has most 
generously allowed us to introduce her latest achievement in iris breeding, 
these two outstanding varieties: 
PINK CLOVER “Whiting, 1955) 
No. 5213 (4910 x Pathfinder) 
A deep mallow pink of delicious color and pleasing 
personality. The wide, full flowers are large and 
of very heavy substance with arched, closed 
standards and semi-flaring falls. A taffeta satin 
texture enhances the beauty. The beard is peach 
pink. Height averages 30 to 32 inches. Strong, 
sturdy stalks carry 5 to 7 or more buds. The 
branching is rather close, but not so much so as 
its parent Pathfinder. Mid-season to late, with the 
flowers opening slowly and lasting longer than 
average. Plants are hardy and vigorous. $20.00 
ADMIRATION (Smith, 1946) A massive iris of rich medium yellow. 
Heavy substance and excellent form. $2.00 
ALADDIN’S WISH (Murawska, 1945) Light blue with brushings of thick 
cream radiating through the large blossoms. A husky, tall well- 
branched iris that is an interesting novelty. 75c 
ALBA SUPERBA (J. Sass; 1943) Very large pure white flower of good 
substance on tall, well-branched stalks. 75c 
ALEPPO PLAIN (J. Sass, 1943) Yellow-red plicata. Cream ground 
heavily dotted on edge forming a border of pansy purple. 75c 
ALLINE ROGERS (Kleinsorge, 1950) A blend of pink, rose and ashes 
of roses, with considerable gold in the blending of color especially 
near the haft. Golden yellow beard. $2.50 
ALICIA (Rawlins, 1948) Smooth silvery blue with cool, crisp irides- 
cence. A medium blue with little veining. $2.50 
ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1945) Large flower of pastel rose tones 
bordering on lilac or pale violet. Golden beard. 75c

ards are broad and domed; falls full. Ruffled. $1.50 
AMBER GEM (Salbach, 1946) Fine large blooms of subdued rose with 
blending of golden brown on well-branched stalks. $1.50 
ANNA WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1946) Pink bi-color. The rosy pink tone has 
an underlying yellow suffusion. $1.00 
VICTORIA “Whiting, 1955) 
No. 5313 (Vatican Purple x Cornflower) 
This deep blue purple matches Victoria Violet on 
the Wilson color chart—a hue Queen Victoria 
preferred to the more common Royal Purple. The 
flowers are large, of heavy substance and glossy 
texture. The petals are wide; the standards closely 
domed and the falls flaring. The haft is smooth 
and the deep purple beard is very lightly tipped 
yellow. Height averages 36 to 38 inches. Stalks 
are strong and well branched, carrying 7 to 9 buds. 
Mid-season to late. The vigorous plants are healthy 
and hardy. $20.00 
ARAB CHIEF (Whiting, 1944) A near self of rich copper-cream of 
splendid texture and substance. Pure cadmium beard and metallic 
overlay at the haft give it radiance. 75c 
ARABY ROSE (Whiting, 1952) Glamorous golden tan iris. Falls heavily 
flushed with violet. The large, firm blooms with flaring falls are 
pleasingly ruffled. $3.50 
ARABIAN NIGHTS (Whiting, 1949) Exotic medley of smoothly blended 
peach, yellow and copper. Fine form and substance. $1.50 
ARGUS PHEASANT (DeForest, 1948) This Dykes Medal winner is a 
smooth, bright golden Argus brown with self beard. Large flowers 
have broad flaring falls and wide standards. $2.50 
AUBURN (Kleinsorge, 1945) Standards and falls are coppery henna- 
brown with gold undertone. Brilliant blue patch at tip of beard. A 
vivid iris in a new color class. $1.00 
AUGUSTA (McKee, 1948) A beautiful blend of blue, rose, pink and 
gold. $1.00 
AURORA DAWN (Whiting, 1948) A tall and stately iris of glowing rose 
red and gold—far surpassing the average sunrise. $1.00 
AZALEA (Nesmith, 1946) Azalea pink with just a flush of ivory envel- 
oping the whole flower. Soft pink beard. $1.00 
AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Ruffled azure-blue self of heavy sub- 
stance with firm domed standards and flaring falls. 60c
