 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.

 deeper. New shade and style in a 

 familiar but popular and useful 

 garden color. 



DREAMCASTLE 



(Cook, 1943) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



An orchid-pink self, segments very 

 broad and of bright clear tones. 

 The white beard, tinted lemon at 

 the base, tends to emphasize the 

 solid pink effect. One of the most 

 sought after varieties. AM AIS, 

 1948. 



EBONY ISLE 



(DeForest, 1949) Each $5.00 



Rich, smooth, well formed flowers 

 of deepest purple, in some lights a 

 red-black. There are no markings 

 of any kind to mar the sleek, even 

 richness of the heavy falls. The 

 very dark thickly set beards are 

 tipped burnt orange. In spite of its 

 darkness it glows with color. 33 to 

 36 inches, late. HM AIS, 1950. 



ELLA CALLIS 



(H. Sass, 1942) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



For sheer brilliance here is an Iris 

 that will constantly catch the eye 

 of every visitor. It is a huge deep 

 yellow with falls flushed orange. 

 The striking feature about it, how- 

 ever, is the infusion of orange-red 

 on the falls, sort of brushed on, 

 ) particularly about the center. Not 

 a plicata and can hardly be called 

 a blend. One of the most distinct 

 of all Sass Irises.
