BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each ^3.50 



A distinct and warm shade of lienna-copper, self colored and so named 

 because of the similar colors found in the rock formations of one of 

 America's most famous tourist attractions. It has especially broad 

 hafts, large, rounded falls, and finely held standards. The picture on 

 page 12 is an excellent likeness. Bryce Canyon achieved instant popu- 

 larity. Awarded HM ALS in 1945; AM in 1947, and is in sixth posi- 

 tion in this year's list of 100 most popular Iris. A good grower every- 

 where, hardy, 3 feet and over in height. 



BUFFAWN (Andrews, 1940) Each 50c 



If you are looking for an Iris of unusual coloring and with tlie most 

 brilliant tangerine beard, this is it. A soft pinkish buff self, hard to 

 describe, set off with a very red-orange beard. Nicely shaped, prolific 

 bloomer and attracts wide attention. 



BURGUNDY ROSE (Hall, 1946) Each ^3.00 



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 o<lds 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 ver>' 

 large size and surpasses everything in its color except the recent novel- 

 ties. See page 34. 



CAMEROUN (Cajeux, 1938) Each ^1.00 



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 beau- 

 tiful sheen and very broad falls. Our stock is limited. 



CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whiting, 1947) Each ^15.00 



Glowing ruby self, heavily overlaid with bright copper which gives it 

 a metallic sheen. A genuine self with no haft markings — even the 

 beard is deep copper-red. Wide and full form but the flowers are of 

 medium size. Substance is firm and the blooming season very long. 

 Height 30 to 36 inches. A very rare color gem. HM AIS, 1947. 



CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook, 1941 ) 



Each ^1.00 



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. 



Azure Skies 



CAS A MORENA (Deforest, 1943) Each ^2.00; 3 for ^5.00 



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 en- 

 tirely new, rich note to the garden picture. See the accurate picture 

 on page 15 — the picture, of course, is much reduced in size. Height 

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



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each ^3.50 

 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 un- 

 usual in so large an Iris. It blooms quite late. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 

 1947. .See back cover for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each ^5.00 



One of the largest Irises w^e have ever introduced, beautifully 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 finish 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; AM, 1948. Shown in color on page 10.
