Veivet Dusk (Schreiner 1948) Velvet Dusk is a descendent of Sable and carries the 
color of that family of darks. The good sized flowers are carried on well- 
branched stems. Bloom is full, well-flared and rounded. Has a dull bluish-brown 
beard that is in fitting harmony with balance of the flower. 36”. $1.50 
Wabash (Williamson 1936) Probably the most outstanding amoena of today. 
Standards are white and the falls hyacinth violet with a very definite white 
margin. This gives the flower a striking contrast that is both pleasing and 
attractive. 39’. 60c 
White Sprite (Cassebeer 1951) A pure white self without a trace of blue or yellow 
even in the beard. This delicately ruffled and waved flower combines the airy 
grace and charm of its pollen parent, Azure Skies, with the breadth of falls 
and large size of its pod parent,, And Thou. It grows about 38 inches tall on 
slender, wiry stems. $5.00 
Zantha (Fay 1947) A very large clear deep yellow. Winner of the President’s Cup 
at the 1947 Iris meeting. Because of its clear sparkling color and extremely 
large flowers this variety is one of the finest yellows. 37”. $2.00 
FANCY LACE-EDGED SEEDLINGS

edging similar to that on the beautiful variety Chantilly. These are mixed shades,

PLICATA SEEDLINGS 
Because of their unique and novel coloring the plicatas always attract the atten- 
tion of visitors in our gardens. Some are white dotted with purple, others with 
lavender, etc., and some seem to be sprinkled with all the colors of the rainbow.. If 
you want some pleasant surprises plant a few of these plicata seedlings.. 
Special selected plants — no two alike. Each $1.50 
DWARF AND BORDER IRIS 
These cheerful little flowers are greatly appreciated, especially because of their 
early blooming habit. They are among the first of our hardy perennials to brighten 
the garden, usually blooming with the dwarf early tulips. Very attractive color 
combinations can be made with a planting of dwarf iris and early tulips.
