GRACE MOHR Each $2.00 A seedling of William Mohr, with widely flaring falls and tall stems reaching to 40 inches. The color is not mu«h different than that of Ormohr, but the flower is of different shape and a bit earlier. GRAND CANYON Each $10.00 Illustrated in color on the cover and offered for the first time on page 3. GREAT LAKES Each $2.50 A new clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London, Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome foliage and finely branched 4-foot stalks. Color is about the same shade as Shining Waters. H.M.A.I.S. 1939. GUDRUN Each 35c Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a magnolfa. A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and a slight gold dust sprinkling over the entire bloom. A constant winner at the shows. HAPPY DAYS Each 25c A giant of a flower, smooth light yellow in color. Inclined to lush growth and in severe climates should be afforded some protection, but it amply rewards this extra care. For years it has com- manded a rather high price, but we can now supply it at a figure any gardener can afford. IMPERIAL BLUSH Each 25c Tall free flowering blush pink, reaching 40 inches in height. This does not carry any of the yellow influence of most pinks, but a lemon beard adds an interesting touch. INCOGNITO Each $3.00 Dark and swarthy, a rich and velvety blackish purple. It has the shape and carriage of Legend, but is darker in tone and more of a self. Over four feet tall in our garden, and one of our largest irises. INDIAN HILLS Each 50c; 3 for $1 Very brilliant light \ iolet purple, brighter than Magenta and lighter in tone than Itasca. Rather long flowers, self colored. ITASCA Each 75c Of the darkest, yet most vivid deep amethyst. A rounded bloom of silk-like texture and finish, with beard of soft brown overlaid blue. One of the loveliest things we have ever introduced, and it has never been equalled. Inclined to flower too freely—cut out some of the spikes when they are first forming and finer ones will result. JASMANIA Each $1.00 GREAT LAKES The color is about that of a ripe banana! Near the center is a faint suggestion of light brown, and a still fainter flush of pale blue in the center of the falls. While not a clear yellow, it is nearly so, and is actually the more beautiful for its blended additions. JEAN CAYEUX Each 35c A smooth, soft, light buff, described by some as "coffee colored." The stems are tall and well balanced in branching with a long season of bloom. A very distinct iris. Sec page 13. JELLOWAY Each $2.00 This yellow is as deep in tone as Golden Hind. It is preferred by some because of its larger size and greater height, but it is not so perfect in form. Few plants. JEANLAFITTE Each $1.00 Standards coppery rose, domed; falls broad and semi-flaring, rose with a coppery undertone. A well branched and colorful iris from the intro- ducer of Mary Geddes. JEB STUART Each 50c Deep blackish maroon brown, with rich orange beard. A great improve- ment on Grace Sturtevant, being larger, taller and of much better form. JERRY Each 25c A bright ruby red iris of medium size and splendid growing habits. It increases fast, and is a heavy bloomer. JOYCETTE Each 35c An extra late deep blackish red with an undertone of rich mulberry. The stalks are tall and sturdy, the blooms practically self colored. lO
