BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A distinct and warm shade of henna-copper, self colored and so named 

 because of the similar colors found in the rock fonnations of one of 

 America's most famous tourist attractions. It has especially broad hafts, 

 large, rounded falls, and finely held standards. The picture on page 32 

 is an excellent likeness. Bryce Canyon achieved instant popularity. 

 Awarded HM AIS in 1945; AM in 1947, and is in 12th position in this 

 year's list of 100 most popular Iris. A good grower everywhere, hardy, 3 

 feet and over in height. 



BURGUNDY ROSE (Hall, 1946) Each $2.00 



Ruffled dark rosy amethyst, a very strong and bright splash of color 

 in the garden. The falls carry rather prominent veins of darker tone. A 

 self, borne on heavy, well-branched stalks just slightly under 3 feet in 

 height. 



BURGUNDY SPLASH (Craig, 1949) Each $10.00 



This new plicata is a big Iris, very well formed, the standards subdued 

 burgundy-red and the broad falls a creamy yellow ground heavily stip- 

 pled richer and more intense burgundy with a 1-inch border. A splash 

 of burgundy indeed! 



CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whifmg, 1947) Each $7.50 



Glovring ruby self, heavily overlaid 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 fuU 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 g^em. HM AIS, 1947. 



CASA MORENA (Deforest, 1943) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Large flowers — yes, extra large — of deep, glistening, rich brown. Same 

 solid color on standards and falls. Styles yellowish; beard brownish or- 

 ange. Not just a novelty, but a flower that adds an entirely new, rich 

 note to the garden picture. See the accurate picture on page 33 — ^the 

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

 1944; AM, 1946. 



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each $2.00 



Very large riifHed pink, tan and apricot blend, with extra heavy stalk 40 

 inches tall and bearing up to ten flowers. The ruffling is more pronounc- 

 ed than in any Iris we have ever introduced and is most unusual in so 

 large an Iris. It blooms quite late. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. See page 

 21 for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



CAHOKIA (Faught, 1948) Each $15.00 



Large exquisitely formed flowers of light butterfly-blue delicately veined 

 deeper. There is no hint of lavender in the color and the haft is smooth 

 and clean. Bright golden yellow beard. 42 inches tall, with widely spaced 

 branches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitch., 1933) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



By aU odds the best value in a yellow Iris at anywhere near the price. 

 It is an easy grower and free bloomer, a deep glittering yellow of very 

 large size and surpasses everything in its color except the recent novel- 

 ties. See page 30. 



CAMEROUN (Cayeux, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A but little known French Iris of velvety blackish hue, one of the best 

 we have ever grown. The blooms are huge, almost black, with a beau- 

 tiful sheen and very broad falls. 40 inches tall. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $2.50 



One of the largest Irises we have ever introduced, beautifully formed, 

 both standards and falls waved at the edges. It is pure chamois in color, 

 standards and falls identical, the beard yellow, tipped bronze. There are 

 no veinings or markings of any kind ; the petals have a soft, satiny finish 

 and glisten with myriad frosty particles. We are certain that you wiU 

 find this Iris different from any other you have ever seen. HM AIS, 1945; 

 AM, 1948. Shown in color on page 34. 



CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A raffled orchid-pink. The edges of both standards and falls are so 

 heavily ruffled and frilled that they have the appearance of being edged 

 with lace of a lighter shade than the rest of the flower. From the same 

 line of breeding as the famous Flamingo Pinks. 36-inch stems, strong 

 and well branched. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. 



CHEEKS OF TAN (Craig, 1950) Each $6.00 



A large mallow-pink blend with a lavender blaze and a haft and beard 

 of burnt umber and golden brown. Height 40 inches. 



CHERIE (Hall, 1947) Each $12.00 



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

 bodied pink self of excellent form and substance with a deep tangerine 

 beard. The 34-inch stems are stout and well branched ; grovrth is vigor- 

 ous and increase above average. Well illustrated on page 35. HM AIS, 

 1947; AM, 1949; Dykes Medal, 1951. 



CHINA MAID (Milliken, 1936) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Gigantic pink blend, with copper and gold tones smoothly blended into 

 a harmonious whole. The effect is a luscious pink. A rampant grower, 

 producing stalks that reach 4 feet, with a myriad of delightfully formed 

 big flowers. HM AIS, 1938 ; AM, 1939. 



Chivalry 



CHIVALRY (Wills, 1944) Each $3.00 



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. Illustrated at left. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Continues to hold its own with the newest red introductions. It is brU- 

 liant and very red in effect, glorious as a garden clump. Almost a self, 

 smoothly finished, large in size and about 3 feet in height. HM AIS, 1936 ; 

 AM, 1938. 



CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Brightest, largest, and surely the finest of all true variegatas. Clear gold- 

 en yellow standards, broad, fiery red falls, startling in their contrast. 

 When weU grown on an established plant it is unbeatable. HM AIS, 

 1937; AM, 1939. See page 30.
