CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each $12.00 



A ruffled orchid-pink. The edges of both standards and falls are 

 so heavily ruffled and frilled that they have the appearance of 

 being edged with lace of a lighter shade than the rest of the flower. 

 From the same line of breeding as the famous Flamingo Pinks. 

 36-inch stems, strong and well branched. HM AIS, 1945. 



CHEERIO (Ayres, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



In the red class it has no peer at the same price. It is tall, vigorous, 

 dependable, and a striking red Iris in the garden. Not as red as 

 some of the new ones, but remains one of the most popular sorts 

 in our catalog. 



CHINA MAID (Milliken, 1936) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Gigantic pink blend, with copper and gold tones smoothly blended 

 into a harmonious whole. The effect is a luscious pink. A rampant 

 grower, producing stalks that reach four feet, with a myriad of 

 .delightfully formed big flowers. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1939. 



CHIPPEWA (Salbach, 1943) Each $2.50 



A new plicata in very deep yellow tones and a rather different 

 form remindful of an oncocyclus hybrid. Standards clear deep 

 yellow with slight brown markings near the haft. Falls yellow, 

 very heavily suffused and dotted brown. Strong yellow beard. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 75c 



Continues to hold its own with the newest red introductions. It is 

 brilliant and very red in effect, glorious as a garden clump. Almost 

 a self, smoothly finished, large in size and about three feet in 

 height. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. Very limited stock. 



CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1936) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Brightest, largest, and surely the finest of all true variegatas. 

 Clear golden yellow standards, broad fiery red falls, startling in 

 their contrast. When well grown on an established plant it is un- 

 beatable. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1939. 



CLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) Each $7.00 



Exquisite Wistaria-blue with mauve undertone, a very large and 

 majestic Iris. The falls are slightly waved and ruffled, broad and 

 widely flaring. A fit companion to Azure Skies, taller and more 

 on the mauve side than blue. HM AIS, 1944. 



COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk., 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Entirely different from all others, its great popularity has resulted 

 not only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of its flowers, 

 but also from the foct that it performs well in all sections of the 

 country. It positively glows in its bright copper, gold, and pinkish 

 tan blendings. Dykes Medal, 1938. 



COPPER PINK (Kellogg, 1941) Each $3.00 



Big pink blend with coppery suffusion at the haft. There is some 

 blue shading on the midrib and the style-arms are blue. Beard 

 orange-brown, with considerable gold about the center. HM AIS, 

 1942. 



COPPER RIVER (DeForest, 1945) Each $15.00 



Glistening tan, falls overlaid bright new penny copper. The ruffled 

 flaring form of this new Iris, coupled with its brilliant sheen, 

 makes it most attractive. 36 inches, well branched. 



COPPER ROSE (Cook, 1941) • Each $3.50 



A smooth blending of old rose, tan and copper, brightened by a 

 glow of golden yellow at the center. Standards between buff-pink 

 and Japan-rose; falls between terra cotta and ochre-red. Coloring 

 is rich and bright, the flowers medium to large in size, with very 

 wide standards and falls. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. 



DAMERINE (Gage, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This fine red, not so well known, is a real surprise in this color 

 group. A large flower of deep red, the standards domed and the 

 falls flaring. Sells out fast and had to be withdrawn last season. 

 Bronze Medal at the New York World's Fair in 1940. 



DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $5.00 



Huge golden pink, with slight undertone of copper. The flowers 

 are well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi- 

 flaring, but there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. 

 The name is most appropriate. Daybreak has a proud record: 

 HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943; runner-up for Dykes Medal in 1945; 

 TIED FOR DYKES MEDAL IN 1946. We have fine rhizomes this 

 year, and lots of them. 



DEEP VELVET (Salbach, 1939) Each $2.00 



A striking introduction, one of the richest and best dark Irises we 

 have yet seen. Self colored in very dark, yet bright, blackish red 

 purple, with perfectly formed blossoms of very large size. Brown- 

 ish suffusion at the haft, with deep bronze beard. HM AIS, 1941; 

 AM, 1942. 



DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A great heavy flower of deepest blackish bronze-purple, the beard 

 rich golden bronze. From New Zealand, and credit is due the 

 originator for having made it possible for American gardens to 

 enjoy such an outstanding Iris. It has all good points — excellent 

 form, tall stems, and succeeds everywhere. 



DINAH SHORE (T. Williams, 1945) Each $7.50 



An enchanting honey-oronge shaded Iris, deeper than Stardom and 

 lighter than Tobacco Road. A pure self, with ideal branching and 

 an exceptionally long season of bloom. From Nashville, Iris capitol 

 of America, where it has made a great hit. 



DISPLAY (Grant, 1942) Each $5.00 



One of the darkest and richest reds we have ever bloomed in our 

 garden. Almost black in certain lights, it glows with a hidden 

 fire in others. Described as Spanish red, shading to deep maroon, 

 it has but little of the purple influence in it. No veining at the 

 haft; yellow beard flecked brown. About three feet tall. HM AIS, 

 1942. 



DOGROSE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tall wiry stems. We originally im- 

 ported this Iris from England several years ago and have con- 

 stantly had difficulty in keeping enough stock to offer. A very 

 free bloomer, it is of medium size but makes a most colorful and 

 effective pink garden clump and is a beautiful cut flower in the 

 house. 



DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each $15.00 



An orchid-pink self, the segments very broad and of bright clear 

 tones. The white beard, tinted lemon at the base, tends to em- 

 phasize the solid pink effect. One of the most sought after va- 

 rieties and stock is very scarce. We have a few plants only. 



E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Glowing coppery red blend; it stands in a special niche all its own, 

 because it is neither red nor copper. Large flowers of silky tex- 

 ture, fragrant, on 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1939. 



EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham, 1942) Each $7.50 



A very fine new red by the man who produced Red Gleam. The 

 coloring is rich and glossy, deep but bright maroon-red; the blooms 

 trimly tailored with no haft venation and a brownish touch near 

 the center. Bronze-gold beard. Height about three feet. 



ELIZABETH ANN (Lapham, 1940) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This tall pink Iris is one of the last to flower in our garden. Very 

 tall, with as many as 1 1 blooms per stalk. A blend of pink shades, 

 with much cream in its makeup. A fast increaser but rhizomes 

 not very large. 



ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) Each $7.50 



For sheer brilliance here is an Iris that will constantly catch the 

 eye of every visitor. It is a huqe deep vellow with the falls flushed 

 orange. The striking feature about it, however, is the infusion 

 of orange-red on the falls, sort of brushed on, particularly about 

 the center. It is not a plicata and can hardly be called a blend. 

 One of the most distinct of oil Sass Irises. 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this rich red-violet seedling 

 of Wm. Mohr has acquired the greatest popularity in the shortest 

 time of any Iris ever introduced. One of the very largest of all 

 Irises, the great blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture and 

 remarkable substance. The stems are well branched and at least 

 three feet tall. Because it has proven to be hardy everywhere and 

 increases rapidly, the price has reached a point where every gen- 

 uine Iris connoisseur can and should own it. HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM, 1943. Shown in color on the back cover. 



EL MOROCCO (Becherer, 1945) Each $5.00 



A beautiful opal-pink Iris whose broad rounded falls and leather- 

 like substance quickly attracts attention. About half way between 

 the colors of Angelus and Morocco Rose, well branched, 36 inches 

 toll. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a greenish 

 cast in its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blos- 

 soms are of good size, rounded in form and slightly frilled at the 

 edges. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1944. See page 16. 



EROS (Mead-Riedel, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Very tall salmon-colored self, the throat lit with gold. Stems are 

 slim but stout, and the flowers are produced in great profusion. 

 Increases rapidly, making a splendid mass of solid salmon-.oink. 

 HM AIS, 1934.
