ORANGE FLAME (Salbach, 1940) Each $3.50 Standards golden orange of exceptional brilliance, falls semi-(laring and of fiery copper red. A larger, taller and more orange colored Radiant, with glowing beards and finely netted haft. This is a seedling of Copper Lustre crossed with Radiant. OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $10.00 A big heavy textured flower in smoothly blended shades of tawn\' salmon. There is a rich gold heard and odd soft brown areas surmount- ing the broad falls. This distinct blend of rich colors, much deeper and more vivid than such things as Far West and Fiesta, ranks along with Old Parchment, Tobacco Road and Aztec Copper for sheer individuality Medium in height, 3 feet or slightly over, with heavy stems and large flowers; very late. Shown in color on page 4, ORMACO (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $8.00 From a cross of Ormohr and Aztec Copper, Dr Kleinsorge secured this first seedling of the famous Ormohr. The color is an odd blend of violet with much bronze and brown, especially about the center. The whole flower has a metallic cast. Not as large as Onnohr, but an extra large iris nevertheless. As with Ormohr, the stems are branched and produce several blossoms per stalk, but it is not as tall as the parent. ORMOHR (Klein., 1937) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 One ot the largest irises in existence, and especially noteworthy because it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, with several great blooms on well branched stems. Perfectly hardy and a producer of seed and a new race of seedlings. The color is pale lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. H M. A.I.S. 1939, A,M, 1940. ORLOFF (H. Sass, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 New pUcata of good size and most unusual coloring, being a sort of cinnamon brown in effect. The ground color is deep cream, heavily dotted and etched red-brown, with considerable gold near the center Throws several spikes per rhizome, but increases rapidly even so, H.M. A.I.S. 1937. OZONE (J. Sass, 1935) Each 40c A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in standards and falls, with a pronounced copper area throughout the center. Large and of ideal shape, a fine grower. H.M. A.I.S. 1936, A.M. 1938. PACIFIC SUNSET (Salbach, 1944) Each $7.50 An appealing big blend in old rose, gold and pink. Standards old r<^sc shading to gold at the base; falls light amaranth pink shading to gold on outer edges and upper half. Beard bright gold. 3-foot well branched stem. Perfect form with ruffled standards. PATRICIA (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Pure white, both standards and falls hca\ ily ruffled. 1 his is a medium sized flower, about 34 inches tall, a gem for creating a mass of white bloom in the garden. Rapid increaser and very free flowering PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $5.00 A pinkish plicata with yellow ground cover. The combination of soft yellow and pink gives it a very "peachy" appearance. This is another and quite different iris in the interesting Sass plicata series. PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $7.50 A seedling of Daybreak and another truly beautiful almost true peach- pink iris. While the individual flowers are large and perfectly propor- tioned, it is as a garden clump that this lovely creation is startlingly effective. The tall wiry stems bear a great number of flowers which last from early mid-season to late. As colorful and luscious as a bowl of Georgia peaches. PERSIAN PRINCE (H. Sass, 1941) Each $5.00 A variegata of the City of Lincoln type with solidly colored falls. Standards are bright yellow, falls flaring and solid maroon-brown. H.M. A.I.S. 1942. PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $10.00 Chamois skin-pink sell, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike an\- thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone, but strangely enough you just can't put your finger on it , A crisp and clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard is lemon. Height 3 feet; very late. H.M. A.I.S. 1942; A.M. 1944. PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Solidly colored lilac pink that might be classed as an intermediate be- cause of its low growth—about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are self colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. Ideal for foreground planting. H.M. A, I S. 1940; A.M. 1942. PIUTE (Thomas, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 One of the most popular of all red irises and surely one of the nearest to true red. Of medium size and height, it is a self of dark but very bright bronzy maroon red
