CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook, 1941) Each $4.00 



Deep glossy maroon-purple; a large, rich, solidly colored self, neat 

 and finished in appearance. There are no haft markings and beard 

 is a subdued bronze-yellow. Possesses a wonderful "shine" or gloss 

 that gives it life despite its unusoal darkness. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 

 1943. 



CAROLINE BURR (Smith, 1940) Each $3.50 



Cool ivory with an odd cast of soft and elusive green. Large and well 

 proportioned, from three to four feet tall, splendidly branched. Truly 

 something different in a cream or white Iris and one of Kenneth 

 Smith's finest varieties. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. 



BLUE SHIMMER 



CARVED IVORY (Essig) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Large creamy ivory self, with thick petals, rounded form, about three 

 feet in height. A California introduction and especially fine there 

 and in the South. 



CASA MORENA (DeForest, 1943) Each $10.00 



Large flowers — yes, extra large — of deep, glistening, rich brown. 

 Same solid color on standards and falls.. Styles yellowish; beard 

 brownish orange. Not just a novelty, but a flower that adds an en- 

 tirely new, rich note to the garden picture. See the accurate picture 



of this below . . . the picture, of course, is much reduced in size. 

 Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each $15.00 



Very large ruffled pink, tan and apricot blend, with extra heavy stalk 

 40 inches tall and bearing up to ten flowers. The ruffling is more 

 pronounced than in any Iris we have ever introduced and is most un- 

 usual in so large an Iris. It blooms quite late. Withdrawn last year 

 to build up stock but we have a fair supply again this year. HM AIS, 

 1945. See page 3 for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) 



Each $15.00 



One of the largest Irises we have ever introduced, beautifully formed, 

 both standards and falls waved at the edges. It is pure chamois in 

 color, standards and falls identical, the beard yellow, tipped bronze. 

 There are no veinings or markings of any kind; the petals have a soft, 

 satiny finish and glisten with myriad frosty particles. We are certain 

 that you will find this Iris different from any other you have ever seen. 

 HM AIS, 1945.
