DISTANCE (Cook, 1946) Each ^5.00 



Silvery light blue, smooth in finish and very evenly colored. There 

 is no coarse veining in the flower and almost no markings at the haft. 

 The white beard is quite inconspicuous. Selected from hundreds of 

 blue seedlings by the originator of such things as Sable, Dreamcastle, 

 Pink Reflection and Capt. Wells. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. 



DOGROSE (Insole, 1930) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tall, wdry stems. We originally imported 

 this Iris from England several years ago and have constantly had 

 difficulty in keeping enough stock to offer. A very free bloomer, it is 

 of medium size but makes a most colorful and effective pink garden 

 clump and is a beautiful cut flower in the house. 



DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each ^3.50 



An orchid-pink self, the segments very broad and of bright clear tones. 

 The white beard, tinted lemon at the base, tends to emphasize the 

 solid pink effect. One of the most sought after varieties and stock is 

 very scarce. See page 34. AM AIS, 1948. 



EBONY ISLE (Deforest, 1949) Each $15.00 



Rich, smooth, well formed flowers of deepest purple, in some lights a 

 red-black. There are no markings of any kind to mar the sleek even 

 richness of the heavy falls. The very dark thickly set beards are 

 tipped burnt orange. In spite of its darkness it glows with color. 

 33 to 36 inches, late. HM AIS, 1950. 



ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) Each ^1.50 



For sheer brilliance here is an Iris that will constantly catch the eye 

 of every visitor. It is a huge deep yellow with the falls flushed orange. 

 The striking feature about it, however, is the infusion of orange-red 

 on the falls, sort of brushed on, particularly about the center. It is 

 not a Plicata and can hardly be called a blend. One of the most dis- 

 tinct of all Sass Irises. 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this red-violet seedling of Wm. 

 Mohr has acquired the greatest popularity in the shortest time of any 

 Iris ever introduced. One of the very largest of all Irises, the great 

 blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture and remarkable sub- 

 stance. The stems are well branched and at least 3 feet taU. Because 

 it has proven to be hardy everywhere and increases rapidly, the price 

 has reached a point where every genuine Iris connoisseur can and 

 should own it. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. Shown in color on pages 

 15 and 27. 



EL MOROCCO (Becherer, 1945) Each ^1.00 



A beautiful opal-pink Iris whose broad rounded falls and leather-like 

 substance quickly attracts attention. About half way between tbe 

 colors of Angelus and Morocco Rose; well branched; 36 inches taU.
