CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each ^3.50 



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 flov*rer. From 

 the same line of breeding as the famous Flamingo Pinks. 36-inch 

 stems, strong and well branched. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. Shown 

 on page 14. 



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 delight- 

 fully formed big flowers. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1939. 



CHIVALRY (Wills, 1944) Each ^7.50 



This outstanding big blue won the Dykes Medal in 1947. Of smooth 

 medium blue color, large in size and quite ruffled, a sturdy growing 

 Iris with every good point. It is one of the most sought after varie- 

 ties of the day. Stock limited. 



CHRIST ABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 50c 



Continues to hold its own with the newest red introductions. It is bril- 

 liant and very red in effect, glorious as a garden clump. Almost a 

 self, smoothly finished, large in size and about 3 feet in height. HM 

 AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. 



CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Brightest, largest, and surely the finest of all true Variegatas. Clear 

 golden yellow standards, broad, fiery red falls, startling in their con- 

 trast. When well grown on an established plant it is unbeatable. 

 HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1939. See page 35. 



CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, 1945) Each ^2.00 



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, tall and stately. We highly recommend it as 

 one of the very finest yellows. HM AIS, 1947. 



CLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) Each 0.00 



Exquisite Wistaria-blue with mauve undertone, a very large and ma- 

 jestic 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 0.25 



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 copper, gold, and pinkish tan Mend- 

 ings. Dykes Medal, 1938. 



COPPER RIVER (DeForest, 1945) Each 0.00 



Glistening tan; falls overlaid bright new penny copper. The ruffled 

 flaring form of this new Iris, coupled with its brilliant sheen, makes 

 it most attractive. 36 inches, well branched. 



COPPER ROSE (Cook, 1941) Each ^1.00 



A smooth blending of old rose, tan and copper, brightened by a glow 

 of golden yellow at the center. Standards between buff-pink and 

 Japan-rose; falls between terra cotta and oclire-red. Coloring is rich 

 and brightl, the flowers medium to large in size, with very wide stand- 

 ards and falls. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. 



CORDOVAN (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each 0.50 



A seedling of Bryce Canyon. The coloring is close to that of cordovan 

 leather — a deep coppery oxblood tone, very rich and glossy. Standards 

 are coppery rose-red, the hafts are finely netted with minute webbing 

 and the falls have a distinct frill or ruffle. HM AIS, 1947. 



CORNFLOWER (Whiting, 1948) Each 0.00 



Not a large Iris as new ones go, but noted for the blueness of the 

 classically formed flowers. Darker than Great Lakes, one of its par- 

 ents, with good branching and vigorous growth. 36 inches. 



CHERIE (Hall, 1947) Each 08.00 



Most famous of all the new Hall "flamingo pinks." A large, ruffled, 

 full bodied pink self of excellent form and substance with a deep 

 tangerine beard. The 34-inch stems are stout and well branched; 

 growth is vigorous and increase above average. Well illustrated on 

 page 9. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949. 



COURTIER (Hall, 1947) Each ^6.00 



Deepest in color of the flamingo pinks. It is not as large nor has it 

 as good form as Cherie, but the color is outstanding. The 30-inch 

 stems are strong and the branching is good. The vivid, deep tangerine 

 beard is very prominent and adds a fiery note. All of these new pinks 

 are winter hardy and set seed freely.
