CHIVALRY (y/ills, '44) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



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. 



CINNAMON TOAST (Sass, '53) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A big and bold creamy yellow plicata, sanded with red-brown. 38 

 inches in height. HM AIS, 1953. 



CLIFFS OF DOVER (Fay, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 36. 



CLOUD CAP (DeForesf, '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 origin- 

 ator, the big flowers are borne on SV2- to 4-foot stalks. HM AIS, 1951; 

 AM, 1953. Shown on page 21. 



COLLEGIATE (Hall, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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. 



BRIAR ROSE 



CONGO (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.00 



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 35. Extra large, nicely branched, 42 inches in height. 



CONSTANT COMMENT (Hall, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 $7.50 



A lovely new citron-yellow Iris of large size and delightful 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. 



COPPER HALO (Gibson, '58) Each $7.50 



Here we have a new plicata from the originator of the popular but 

 still scarce Taholah. Illustrated on pages 57 and 46, it is a creamy 

 white or ivory ground in both standards and falls, heavily peppered 

 and stitched with rosy copper. Broad petals, graceful ruffling and 

 thick texture mark this strain and set a new standard for plicata 

 types. Copper Halo is a lively color pattern which blends well in 

 almost any garden scheme. Very late. 34-36 inches in height. HM 

 AIS, 1958. 



BAZAAR 



COLOR CARNIVAL (DeForesf, '49) Each $1.00 



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. 



CORONATION GOLD (H. F. Hall, '52) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Giant, ruffled and heavily substanced deep golden yellow with a 

 green-gold cast. The flowers are rather rounded in form, the falls 

 very wide and of thick, firm texture. Height 38 inches. 



CONCORD RIVER (Buttrick, '56) Each $8.00 



Light blue, with very wide hafts and domed standards. The beard is 

 white. Color is smooth and even, without the detracting veins so 

 often evident in blue varieties. The 38-inch stalks are strong and well 

 branched. HM AIS, 1956. 



COUNTRYSIDE (DeForesf, '59) Each $17.50 



Here is an eye-popper for size, in lovely chartreuse-yellow. There is a 

 faint plicata dusting of lavender across the wide hafts. Tall, vigorous 

 and excellent in every way.
