LAVANESQUE 



NUEVO LAREDO 



CELESTIAL BLUE (Mission, '55) Each $2.00 



Clear light blue self, near to true blue. A frosty sheen on both 

 standards and falls provides a necessary sparkle for good garden 

 effect. A single stalk has produced as many as 17 blossoms with 

 seven open at once! Large, with flaring falls and ruffled standards 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1955. 



CELESTIAL GLORY (Bro. Charles, '61) Each $25.00 



Bright golden orange or tan with a very bright red beard. In 1956 

 we saw this bloom for its first time and now can feel extra satis- 

 faction in being among the first to offer it. It is large, ruffled, and 

 extra heavy in texture. 3 feet. 



CELESTIAL SNOW (Bro. Charles, '57) Each $10.00 



An absolutely spectacular pure white, the great falls ruffled and 

 folded like white draperies. Stalks are widely branched and will 

 reach a height of almost four feet. Beard is white, tipped lemon. 

 This is a real triumph! HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 51. 



CENTENNIAL QUEEN (Wallace, '54) Each $1.50 



A blend of buffy watermelon-pink or rose. One of the largest 

 new Iris we have grown, with wide, thick petals and very tall 

 alks. The flowers are nicely waved at the edges. 



CHERIE (Hall, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Most famous of all the Hall "flamingo-pinks." A large, 

 ruffled, full bodied pink self of excellent form and sub- 

 stance with a deep tangerine beard. I he 34-inch stems 

 are stout and well branched; growth is ^igorous and in- 

 crease above average. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949; Dykes 

 Medal, 1951. See page 33. 



CHI-CHI (Hall, '59) Each $6.00 



Deeper in color than May Hall; a seedling of that famous variety 

 crossed with Limelight. This is a sumptuous shade of pink, a large 

 smooth flower without ruffles. Petals are wide and well formed, the 

 stalks robust with good branching and it increases rapidly. 35 inches 

 in height. HM AIS, 1961. 



CHINESE LANTERN (Fay, '58) Each $5.00 



Deep yellow with a tangerine-red beard. This is a seedling of Techny 

 Chimes crossed with Mary Randall. It is smoothly tailored, large, 

 and grows to 42 inches; midseason. HM AIS, 1958. 



CHINQUAPIN (Gibson, '60) Each $12.00 



A big golden brown plicata, the standards solid golden brown, the 

 falls same color with ivory shading in the central areas where they 

 are speckled and blended with brown. Standards are extra broad 

 and fluted or waved, completely closed at the top. The wide falls 

 flare gracefully and seem to undulate at the margins. Beard is 

 bronzy orange. Mr. Gibson called this seedling "Honey Bear" but 

 the name had been taken. Anyway, it certainly is a "honey" in the 

 plicata class! Height 34-36 inches. HM AIS, 1960. Shown on page 50. 



CHRISTMAS ANGEL (DeForesf, '60) Each $15.00 



An extra large, warm white with bright gold at the haft, evenly laid 

 on. Beard is white, tipped gold, and solid golden yellow within the 

 flower. A very tall and robust improvement on the fine varietv Pa- 

 trician. Magnificent in every way. Well illustrated on page 9. HM 

 AIS, I96I. 



CINNAMON TOAST (Sass, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A big and bold creamy yellow plicata, sanded with red-brown. 38 

 inches in height. HM AIS, 1953. 



CLIFFS OF DOVER (Fay, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Large, flaring and ruffled clear white of great substance. There are 

 no haft markings and the beard is light yello^^•. This is the best of 

 a number of excellent new whites produced from Snow Flurry 

 crossed with Cahokia. A strong grower, hardy, 36 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. See page 38. 



CLOUD CAP (DeForesf, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Probably the largest pink to date, with very wide falls and an 

 extra heavy bright tangerine beard. Termed "blossom-pink" 

 by the originator, the big flowers are borne on 31/2- to 4-foot 

 stalks. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. Shown on page 20. 



CLOUD DANCER (Plough, '59) Each $20.00 



Heavily ruffled and fluted white with a vivid tangerine-red 

 beard. The standards do not fully close at the top, thus the 

 fiery center of the flower is rather startlingly exposed to view. 

 A color break bred from two pinks. HM AIS, 1959. 



COFFEE ROYAL (Merrill, '61) Each $20.00 



A gigantic blend of reddish brown and reddish purple, the stand- 

 ards garnet brown and the falls Doge purple. The haft and a very 

 narrow edge of the falls are same color as the standards. Beard is 

 brownish with purple tips. Falls flare then turn gracefully down- 

 ward, adding depth to width of petals. This is a stalwart, vigorous 

 grower, over three feet
