CAIRO (Kleinsorge, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A great, spreading, broad peialed Hovver in light tan, with 

 tawny yellow overtone and a biiffy suffusion near the haft. 

 The horizontal falls Hare out to full 7 inches, curling at 

 the tips. Beard is bronze-yellow and there is some fine 

 brown netting on the shoulders of the falls. Height 40 

 inches. 



CALDRON (Schreiner, '57) Each $5.00 



A vivid new red from the copper side. Its 3-foot stems, well 

 branched, are somewhat unusual in the red class and the 

 flowers are large and splendidly formed. Both Ranger and 

 Cordovan are in the parentage. 



CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whiting, '47) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Glowing ruby self, heavily o\erlaid with bright copper 

 which gives it a metallic sheen. A genuine self with no haft 

 markings— even the beard is deep copper-red. Wide and full 

 form but the flowers are of medium size. Substance is firm 

 and the blooming season very long. Height 30 to 36 inches. 

 A very rare color gem. HM AIS. 1947. See page 34. 



CAPTAIN GALLANT (Schmelzer, '59) Each $25.00 

 This brand new red has had probably more advance fan- 

 fare than any other in its color class. Several breeders of 

 today's finest reds have told us, after seeing it, that it is 

 probably the finest red to date. The introducer calls it "the 

 red Iris that is red throughout, with no purple influence 

 and no haft markings." Huge in size and holds its color in 

 heat or wind. HM AIS, 1959. 



CARIBOU TRAIL (Plough, '57) Each $12.50 



Light but rich golden brown with a bright violet blaze 

 radiating out into the falls. All petal edges are heavily 

 crimped and shirred on this large, heavily substanced cre- 

 ation. Shown on page 47. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. 



CAROLINE JANE (DeForest, '51) Each $2.00 



There are many plicatas in white with blue stitchings or 

 dots, but this one appears to be the very finest of all. Flow- 

 ers are huge, the stems very tall, and the white ground 

 glistens like snow. Markings are clean and distinct— a deli- 

 cate violet-blue. Must be seen to be fully appreciated. One 

 of the "Iris of the Year" for 1959. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 

 1955. See page 14. 



ROSEDALE 



CASA MORENA (DeForest, '43) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 entirely new, 

 rich note to the garden picture. See the accurate picture on page 41— 

 the picture of course, is much reduced in size. Height 38 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, '45) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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

 40 inches tall and bearing up to 10 flowers. The ruffling is more 

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

 unusual in so large an Iris. It blooms late. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. 

 See page 41 for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



NOMOHR 



CASCADIAN (Linse, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A ruffled, cool, crisp, pure white with greenish midrib visible from 

 beneath. The beard is also white. From Snow Flurry crossed with 

 Cloud Castle, it may be a little tender for cold sections, but else- 

 where it is surely one of the largest and most striking pure whites in 

 commerce. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957.
