CHERIE (Hall, '47) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 bodied pink self of e.xcellent form and substance with a deep tan- 

 gerine beard. The 34-inch stems are stout and well branched; growth 

 is vigorous and increase above average. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949; 

 Dykes Medal, 1951. See page 31. 



CHI-CHI (Hall, '59) Each $15.00 



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. It is one 

 of the "pinkest" of all Hall productions and we hesitated to intro- 

 duce it only because we regard May Hall so highly. 35 inches in 

 height. 



CHINESE LANTERN (Fay, '58) Each $10.00 



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. 



CHIVALRY (Wills, '44) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This outstanding big blue won the Dykes Medal in 1947. Of smooth, 

 medium blue color, large in size and quite ruffled, a sturdy growing 

 Iris with every good point. It is one of the most sought after varieties 

 of the day. 



CINNAMON TOAST (Sass, '53) Each $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 .50; 3 for $4.00 



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

 no haft markings and the beard is light yellow. 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 43. 



CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



We highly recommend this as one of the very finest yellows. Tall 

 and stately, widely branched, carrying handsome deep butter-yellow 

 flowers of large size, it is simplv superb as a garden subject. 



CLOUD CAP (DeForest, '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 26. f 



COLLEGIATE (Hall, '55) Each $2.00 



This ivory-white Iris has a distinction which our picture does 

 not quite properly portray. Actually, the base of the standards 

 and the markings near the center are about the color of a ripe 

 cantaloupe— neither orange nor yellow. Under side of the falls 

 is yellow and the buds are yellow. 30-34 inches in height. See 

 page 19. 



COLOR CARNIVAL (DeForest, '49) Each $1.50 



A startling arrangement of colors in the range of the new pinks. 

 The ground color is a deep shade of pink in both standards and falls, 

 with heavy markings of vivid purple on the falls. Beard is tangerine- 

 red. Big flowers, very well formed, on excellent stalks. HM AIS, 1950. 



CONGO (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.50 



The first large dark Iris with a reddish silken sheen on top of a 

 coal-black undertone. A very good color photo of this appears on 

 page 16. Extra large, nicely branched, 42 inches in height. 



CONSTANT COMMENT (Hall, '54) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Pinkish apricot is probably the best way to describe the color of this 

 delicious looking affair. Or, you might call it a "peachy" tint. At 

 home with the pinks, and from pink breeding, it flaunts a heavy red- 

 orange beard that is as brilliant as a house afire. Flowers are large 

 and heavily substanced with ruffled and finely notched edges. Bold 

 stalks and thrifty foliage, a husky grower. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 

 1956. 



COOL COMFORT (Tompkins, '58) Each $10.00 



A lovely new citron-yellow Iris of large size and delight- 

 ful form. The broad, heavily substanced petals have a 

 sleek sparkling finish and a hint of lace. This is a self, 

 including the beard, but there is a small, snow-white, 

 green flushed blaze at its tip. A luscious and refreshing 

 flower, certain to please. Rather late. 36 inches tall.
