CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whiting, 1947) Each ^20.00 



Glowing ruby self, heavily overlaid vs^ilh bright copper v^hich 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 ^1.50 



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 (DeF crest, 1943) Each ^4.00 



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 18 — the picture, of cou-rse. is much reduced in size. Height 

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



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each ^6.00 

 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 un- 

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

 1947. See page 13 for an excellent kodachrome of this flower. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each ^6.00 



One of the largest Irises we 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 11. 



CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each ^5.00 



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

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

 on the cover. 



CHERIE (Hall, 1947) Each ^20.00 



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 

 this page. HM AIS, 1947. 



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 ^10.00 



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. Slock limited. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapharn, 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 28.
