CLIFFS OF DOVER (Fay, '53) Each $7.50 



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 Flunv crossed with Cahokia. 

 A strong grower, hardy. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. 



CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, '45) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 simply superb as a garden subject. 



CLOUD CAP (Deforesi, '50) Each $4.00 



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 16. 



COLLEGIATE fHol/, '55j Each $10.00 



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 23.

COLONEL PRIMROSE (DeForesi, '5i; Each $3.00

 ferent and brilliant yellow.

 lent stalks. HM AIS, 1950.

 on page 49. Extra large, nicely branched, 42 inches in hei^t. 



CONSTANT COMMENT (Hall, '54) Each $8.00 



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 

 Haunts 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 tfirifty foliage, a huskv 

 grower. 36 inches tall.
