ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) 



Each $1.00 



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

 every visitor. It is a huge deep yellow with 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. Not a plicata and 

 can hardly be called a blend. One of the most distinct of all Sass Irises. 



EL PASO (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $3.00 



This seedling of Tobacco Road crossed with Goldbeater is a richer, 

 brighter, more lively golden brown than the famous "tobacco colored" 

 parent. It has a luminous, metallic finish which gives it exceptional 

 richness and a glowing quality which most browns seem to lack. 

 Standards are closed and the broad falls flare gracefully. A large flower 

 of medium height — about 32-34 inches: good branching. Shown on page 

 14. HM AIS, 1950. i 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this 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 3 feet tall. Because it has 

 proven to be hardy everywhere and increases rapidly, the price has 

 reached a point where every genuine Iris connoisseur can and should 

 own it. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. Shown in color on page 28. 



EL MOROCCO (Becherer, 1945) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 tall. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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

 its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blossoms are of 

 good size, rounded in form and slightly frilled at the edges. 3 feet tali. 

 HM AIS. 1939; AM, 1944. See page 35. 



ENVOY (Deforest, 1948) Each $6.50 



Among the most deeply colored of new Irises, the falls practically 

 black but with a hint of brown-purple. The beard is brilliant orange on 

 a solid blackish haft. Standards are bright and silky with a flush of red- 

 dish purple. A very impressive thing on 34-inch stems. Illustrated on 

 page 39. 



EXTRAVAGANZA 



( Douglas, 1944) Each $2.00 



Almost white standards shaded cream 

 at the base, the falls a medley of cop- 

 per, red lavender and deep violet, with 

 a violet flush down the center. On the 

 order of Wabash, but is more of a blend 

 especially in the falls. One of the most 

 talked about new things. HM AIS, 

 1944; AM, 1947. See page 20. 



PROSPECTOR 



Like the gold rush pioneer figure for 

 whom it was named, this nugget of 

 a flower will bring rich reward to 

 any garden. It just can't be beaten 

 for color . . . and loads of it! 



FALL DAYS (K. Smith, 1947) 

 Each $5.00 



Glowing flower in autumn colors of 

 copper and red Standards rose and gold 

 flushed bronze, falls rose-brown with 

 chestnut-brown base and velvety finish. 

 Five by five inches in size, over 40 inch- 

 es tall and with many branching sterns. 

 A colorful mass of autumn-red in the 

 garden. HM AIS, 1947. 



FANTASY (Hall, 1947) 



Each $5.00 



A lovely rose and orchid-toned pink, 

 distinctive and quite different in color 

 from the flamingo- pinks. The coloring 

 is smooth and luscious, more vivid than 

 most in this series. Beard is tangerine- 

 red. Beautiful branching above average 

 size, stout 30-inch stems. HM AIS, 

 1947; AM, 1949.
