CATHEDRAL BELLS (Wallace, 1953) Each $15.00 



A grand new pink with a hint of shrimp in its make-up. At the A.I.S. 

 Convention in Boston it attracted much attention and comment. Heavy 

 substance in nicely formed ruffled flowers on 42-inch stalks. Very 

 fine! HM AIS, 1953. 



CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $1.50 



One of trie 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 glistening 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 19. 



CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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. See 

 page 16. 



CHEEKS OF TAN (Craig, 1950) Each $2.00 



A large ma,llow-pink blend with a lavender blaze and a haft and 

 beard of burnt umber and golden brown. Height 40 inches. 



CHERIE (Hall, 1947) Each $5.00 



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 increases above average. Well illustrated 

 above. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949; Dykes Medal, 1951. 



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 de- 

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

CHIVALRY (Wills, 1944) Each $2.00 



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 varieties of the day. 

 Illustrated on page 15. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



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

 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 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



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

 ye,Uow 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 36. 



CLOTH OF GOLD (Wriifing, 1945) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



To say that this is another excellent deep yellow would attract scant interest. 

 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, tal,l and stately. We 

 highly recommend it as one of the very finest yellows. HM AIS, 1947; 

 AM, 1950. 



CLOUD CAP (DeForest, 1950) Each $10.00 



This vigorous and husky growing new "bfossom-pink" created a great stir when 

 it came into bloom just right for the Shreveport Convention in 1951. Probably 

 the largest pink to date, with very broad falls and an extra heavy bright tan- 

 gerine beard. Free blooming, on 3y 2 -foot stalks. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. 



CLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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.
