CASCADE SPLENDOR 

 BURGUNDY ROSE fHall, 1946) Each $7.50 



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. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitch., 1933) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



By all 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 novelties. 



CAMEROUN (Cayeux, 1938) Each $L50 



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 beautiful sheen 

 and very broad falls. Our stock is limited. 



CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook, 1941) Each $2.50 



Deep glossy maroon-purple; a large, rich, solidly colored self, neat and 

 finished in appearance. There are no haft markings, and beard is a subdued 

 bronze-yellow. Possesses a wonderful "shine" or gloss that gives it life 

 despite its unusual darkness. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. 



CASA MORENA (Deforest, 1943) Each $6.00 



Large flowers — yes, extra large — of deep, glistening, 

 rich brown. Same solid color on standards and falls. 

 Styles yellowish; beard brownish orange. Not just a 

 novelty, but a flower that adds an entirely new, rich 

 note to the garden picture. See the accurate picture on 

 page 8 — the picture, of course, is much reduced in size. 

 Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) 



Each $10.00 



Very large ruffled pink, tan and apricot blend, with extra 

 heavy stalk 40 inches tall and bearing up to ten flowers. 

 The ruffling is more pronounced 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 

 at left for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $10.00 



One of the largest Irises we have ever introduced, beau- 

 tifully 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 fnish and glisten with myriad frosty particles. We 

 are certain that you will find this Iris different from any 

 other you have ever seen. HM AIS, 1945. Shown in 

 color on page 8. 



CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each $7.50 



A ruffled 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 some line of breed- 

 ing as the famous Flamingo Pinks. 36-inch stems, strong 

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



CHEERIO (Ayres, 1934) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



In the red class it has no peer at the same price. It is 

 tall, vigorous, dependable, and a striking red Iris in the 

 garden. Not as red as some of the new ones, but remains 

 one of the most popular sorts in our cctolog. 



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. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 50c 



Continues to hold its own with the newest red introduc- 

 tions, it is brilliant and very red in effect, glorious as a 

 garden clump. Almost a self, smoothly finished, large in 

 size and about three feet in height. HM AIS, 1 936; AM, 



1938. 



CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1936) 



Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Brightest, largest, and surely the finest of all true Varie- 

 qatas. Clear golden yellow standards, broad, fiery red 

 falls, startling in their contrast. When well grown on an 

 established plant it is unbeatable. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 

 1939. See page 21. 



CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, 1 945) Each $4.00 



To say that this is another excellent deep yellow would 

 attract scant interest. But last spring we saw a great 

 many wonderful seedlings and new named varieties in 

 Mrs. Whiting's iowa garden. One of the best displays 

 in the planting was a group of Cloth of Gold — deep in 

 color, perfectly formed, tail and stately. We highly 

 recommend it as one of the very finest yellows. HM AIS, 

 1947. 



CLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) Each $5.00 



Exquisite Wistaria-blue with mauve undertone, a very 

 large and majestic Iris. The falls are slightly waved and 

 ruffled, broad and widely flaring. A fit companion to 

 Azure Skies, taller and more on the mauve side than 

 blue. HM AIS, 1944. 



COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk., 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Entirely different from all others, its great popularity has 

 resulted not only from the odd and beautiful copper tone 

 of its flowers, but also from the fact that it performs 

 well in all sections of the country. It positively glows in 

 its bright cooper, gold, and pinkish ton blendings. Dykes 

 Medal, 1938.
