CANDLE MAGIC (DeForest, '61) Each $6.00 



Wide standards of pink-tinted tan; the falls are cream with bright 

 tan-gold hafts. A creamy version of the Dawn Crest and Dawn Star 

 lusciousness might be an apt description. Tall and large. 



CAPTAIN GALLANT (Schmelzer, '59) Each $7.50 



This brand new red has had probably more advance fanfare than 

 any other in its color class. Several breeders of today's finest reds have 

 told us, after seeing it, that it is probably the finest red to date. The 

 introducer calls it "the red Iris that is red throughout, with no 

 purple influence and no haft markings." Huge in size and holds its 

 color in heat or wind. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



CARIBOU TRAIL (Plough, '57) Each $2.50 



Light but rich golden brown with a bright violet blaze radiating out 

 into the falls. All petal edges are heavily crimped and shirred on this 

 large, heavily substanced creation. Shown on page 12. HM AIS, 1957 

 AM, 1959. 



CARLA (DeForest, '59) Each $3.50 



Rich apricot-pink, remindful of Dawn Crest and Real Delight but 

 lighter in tone. Not very well known but deserving of a spot in any 

 collection of top-notch varieties. Big stalks, 34 to 40 inches tall. 



CARMELA (Schreiner, '55) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



One of the laciest and most exotic of all the new crinkled introduc- 

 tions, selected as one of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 1961. Color is a 

 blend of honey and caramel. Height 38 inches; mid-season bloom. 

 HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1958. See page 54. 



CASHMERE (Fay, '59) Each $15.00 



Deep rose-pink or rose-red, however you may choose to describe the 

 color. The very full, heavy beard is brilliant, almost pure red. If we 

 had to choose a dozen of the top Iris of the past ten years this cer- 

 tainly would be near the head of our list! It is as close to perfection 

 as one could wish for and the color is alive and pleasing. Will be a 

 leader for years to come. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1959 AM, 1963. 

 Shown on the cover. 



CATHEDRAL BELLS (Wallace, '53) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A tall and wide petaled light pink, uniformly colored in both stand- 

 ards and falls. It is a profuse bloomer and the color is fresh and 

 definitely pink. Edges of petals are notched and serrated and the 

 beard is yellow. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1956. 



CATHERINE CLAAR (E. Claar, '55) Each $1.00 



An almost black and white addition to the Amigo and Wabash class, 

 on stems which reach to 3\/ 2 feet. Falls are broad and velvety and 

 solid to the center. One of the very latest to flower. Pictured on page 



CAYENNE CAPERS (Gibson, '61) Each $10.00 



Shown on page 28 in precise and accurate detail. Vivid and flashing 

 with the sunshine on it or through it . . . glowing and alive on a 

 cloudy day or in pouring rain. For rich, intense color in a plicata, 

 this red-hot eye-catcher has no parallel. Dominant color is fiery bur- 

 gundy to red pepper but a minor area on the falls is lit with cream. 

 Beard is orange-bronze. HC AIS, 1960; HM AIS, 1962. 3 feet tall. 



COOL COMFORT 



CAROLINE JANE (DeForesf, '51 ) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



There are many plicatas in white with blue stitchings or dots, but 

 this one appears to be the very finest of all. Flowers are huge, the 

 stems very tall, and the white ground glistens like snow. Markings 

 are clean and distinct— a delicate violet blue. Must be seen to be 

 fully appreciated. One of the "Iris of the Year" for 1959. HM AIS, 

 1951; AM, 1955. See page 53. 



CASA GRANDE (Gibson, 1963) Each $15.00 



A giant deep Burgundy red plicata, the effect of which is more red 

 than is generally associated with plicata patterns. A welcome feature 

 is the pleasing fragrance of the blossoms ... it is one of the most 

 sweetly scented of all Iris. Standards are almost solid Burgundy, the 

 falls are the same with a creamy white central area. Bold in habit 

 and bright and rich in garden value. 



MELODRAMA 



CELESTIAL GLORY (Bro. Charles, '61) Each $15.00 



Bright golden orange or tan with a very bright red beard. In 1956 we 

 saw this bloom for its first time and now can feel extra satisfaction 

 in being among the first to offer it. It is large, ruffled, and extra heavy 

 in texture. 3 feet. HM AIS, 1962. 



CELESTIAL SNOW (Bro. Charles, '57) Each $5.00 



An absolutely spectacular pure white, the great falls ruffled and 

 folded like white draperies. Stalks are widely branched and will 

 reach a height of almost four feet. Beard is white, tipped lemon. 

 This is a real triumphl HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 29. 



"Thank you for the prompt attention you gave our late 

 order. Iris arrived in fine condition. Thank you for the 

 extras, always a pleasant surprise."
