CORALIE Each $1.00 



A blend of pink and red that approaches raspberry 

 color in effect, with a dazzling note added in the 

 bright golden beard. With this fine variety Dr. Ayres 

 has scored honors again, for Coralie was awarded an 

 H. M. by the AIS in 1932 and in 1933 was given the 

 Dykes Medal. Such recognition stamps it as a certain 

 leader for many seasons to come. 



CORINTHE Each $5.00 



A new French introduction from Cayeux that was 

 awarded a special Certificate of Merit in Paris in 

 1934. The flowers are of immense size and beautiful 

 coloring, with broad arching standards of rich silky 

 bishops violet. The falls are broad and spreading, of 

 richest velvety bishop's violet. A strong grower, 

 reaching four feet in height. Very few rhizomes. 



CORONET Each $22.50 



Soft rose-beige with a golden tone, a new color 

 and one of the leading novelties from Quality Gar- 

 dens in 1938. Produced by David Hall, the man who 

 originated the iris on our cover and four of our new 

 offerings for this year. Coronet is tall, widely branched, 

 with fine rounded flowers of large size. 



CREOLE BELLE Each $1.50 



A very dark blue purple, with odd brownish stain 

 about the hafts. Individual in effect, of large size and 

 excellent habits. One of the recent things from Col. 

 Nicholls, awarded an H. M. in 1936. 



CRYSTAL BEAUTY Each $1.00 



A new white from the Sass Brothers, said by some 

 to be the cleanest white yet produced. It has been 

 highly praised by critics in the Iris Bulletins. Height 

 40 inches. 



CYRUS THE GREAT Each 75c 



A great, flaring, dusky rich purple self. Huge in 

 size, very heavy flowering. From Chancellor Kirk- 

 land, producer of Copper Lustre. 



DAUNTLESS Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Probably the most popular and widely known of 

 all so-called red irises. Although we now have sev- 

 eral newer introductions that surpass it, none the less 

 Dauntless remains near the top, and there has never 

 been sufficient stock to supply the demand. The 

 blooms are of great size, on tall heavy stems, and last 

 over a long season. The coloring is rich velvety red, 

 with very little of the blue or purple undertone. A 

 former Dykes medal winner. 



DEPUTE NOMBLOT Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



One of the world's greatest irises, a French intro- 

 duction that has proven extremely popular every- 

 where. Standards light glowing rosy-purple, over- 

 laid bronzy gold. Falls very wide, spreading, pur- 

 plish garnet-red shading to lighter rosy bronze at the 

 edge. Deep orange beard. Over four feet tall, espe- 

 cially well branched. A Dykes Medal winner in 

 France. 



DESERET Each $2.00 



Here is a "brushed" variegata, a flower quite 

 apart from others of this class, creating a red-orange 

 tone in the garden. As exciting and gay as a gypsy 

 carnival, says the introducer. Standards are very 

 deep yellow, falls the same heavily brushed chestnut 

 red. 



DESERT GOLD Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Among the earliest of the tall bearded group. An 

 extremely large, fine formed, smooth clear yellow. 

 Standards are nicely domed, pure light yellow. Falls 

 are extra broad, pure yellow with very rich yellow 

 beard. It certainly is deserving of a position among 

 the best new introductions. Plant a clump in front of 

 several clumps of Santa Barbara — they bloom to- 

 gether, and what a picture! H. M. AIS 1931; A. M. 

 1932. 



DESTINY Each $3.50 



From New Zealand. A great heavy flower of deep- 

 est blackish bronzy purple, with rich golden beard. 

 If you think the ultimate has been reached in such 

 colors, wait until you see this one and Directeur 

 Pinelle . . . they are both real surprises! 



DIRECTEUR PINELLE Each $2.50 



Among the arrivals from France in recent years 

 this ranks near the top. Few iris are of greater size, 

 with such splendid form and branching habit. The 

 color is richest maroon purple, with bronzy under- 

 tone. Newly opened blossoms are almost black. 



DOGROSE Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



A very beautiful, superb pink iris, with very large 

 oval shaped flowers in a uniform shade of soft rose- 

 pink, with deep gold beard. The stalks are almost 

 shoulder high, and it is a profuse bloomer. This vari- 

 ety will show up to best advantage after it has be- 

 come established a full year. Winner of a silver 

 medal in England. Small rhizomes. Shown in color 

 on page 23. 



DORE Each $1.50 



A yellow and cream bi-color, the standards being 

 light yellow and the falls creamy white. It is the only 

 color combination of this kind in our list. Large flow- 

 ers on 36-inch stalks. 



E. B. WILLIAMSON Each $15.00 



Glowing coppery red blend, a deeper and redder 

 effect than Rosy Wings. The originator, Paul Cook, 

 of Bluffton, Indiana, has raised thousands of seedlings 

 over a period of many years, and this is his first 

 introduction. We saw it there last season and prompt- 

 ly bought stock. Not to be confused with either the 

 reds or the coppers, it stands in a special niche all its 

 own. Large flowers of silky texture, fragrant, on 3- 

 foot stems.
