DISTANCE (Cook, 1946) Each $12.50 



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 Copt. Wells. HM AIS, 

 1946. 



Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



wiry stems. We originally 



DOGROSE 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tall 

 imported this Iris from England several years ago and have con- 

 stantly 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 $10.00 



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

 tones. The white beard, tinted lemon at the base, tends to em- 

 phasize the solid pink effect. One of the most sought after va- 

 rieties and stock is very scarce. We have a few plants only. 

 See at right. 



DRESS PARADE (Maxwell, 1944) Each $5.00 



A new type of Variegata with an unusually smooth haft. Standards 

 burnished gold; falls solid brownish red without any markings. 

 Beard is heavy and rich golden orange in color. Height 3 feet. 



E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Glowing coppery red blend; it stands in a special niche all its own, 

 because it is neither red nor copper. Large flowers of silky tex- 

 ture, fragrant, on 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1939. 



EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham, 1942) Each $4.00 



A very fine new red by the man who produced Red Gleam. The 

 coloring is rich and glossy, deep but bright maroon-red; the blooms 

 trimly tailored with no haft venation and a brownish touch near 

 the center. Bronze-gold beard. Height about 3 feet. 



ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) Each $4.00 



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, porticularly about 

 the center. It is not a Plicota and can hardly be called a blend. 

 One of the most distinct of all Sass Irises. 



ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $1.25; 3 for $3.00 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this rich 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 substance. The stems are well branched and at least 

 three feet toll. 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 the back cover and on page 23. 



EL MOROCCO (Becherer, 1945) Each $2.50 



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

 like substance quickly attracts attention. About half way between 

 the colors of Angelus and Morocco Rose; well branched, 36 inches 

 tall. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a greenish 

 cast in its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blos- 

 soms are of good size, rounded in form and slightly frilled at the 

 edges. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1944. See page 20. 



EROS (Mead-Riedel, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Very tall salmon colored self, the throat lit with gold. Stems are 

 slim but stout, and the flowers are produced in great profusion. 

 Increases rapidly, making a splendid mass of solid salmon-pink. 

 HM AIS, 1934. 



EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Soft powder-blue self, quite different from all other blues. Tali 

 and stately, with blooms of perfect form and thick enamel finish. 

 Just a suggestion of yellow in the center to liven it up. HM AIS, 

 1937; AM, 1939. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, 1944) Each $15.00 



Almost white standards shaded cream at the base, the falls a 

 medley of copper, red, lavender and deep violet, with a violet flush 

 down the center. On the order of Wabash, but is more of a blend 

 especially in the falls. One of the most talked about new things. 

 HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947.
