CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook, 1941) Each $4.00 



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. 



CAROLINE BURR (Smith, 1940) Each $5.00 



Cool ivory with an odd cast of soft and elusive green. Large and well 

 proportioned, from three to four feet tall, splendidly branched. Truly 

 something different in a cream or white Iris and one of Kenneth 

 Smith's finest varieties. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. 



CARVED IVORY (Essig) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Large creamy ivory self, with thick petals, rounded form, about three 

 feet in height. A California introduction and especially fine there 

 and in the South. 



CASA MORENA (DeForest, 1943) Each $15.00 



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 

 of this on inside front cover . . . the picture, of course, is much 

 reduced in size. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1945. 



CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) Sold out for 1946 



The instant popularity of this remarkable Iris absorbed every salable 

 rhizome last year. We are thus obliged to withdraw it until 1947 

 when we hope to again have a limited number of plants to offer. 



CHARLOTTE MILLET (Cayeux, 1937) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Bright reddish lilac in a shade that is both novel and beautiful. Im- 

 mense foliage and heavy stalks, with large self-colored flowers. 

 Nothing else like it. 



CHEERIO (Ayres, 1934) 



Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



In the red class it has no peer at the same price. It is tall, vigorous, 

 dependable, and a striking red Iris in the garden. Not as red as some 

 of the new ones, but remains one of the most popular sorts in our 

 catalog. 



CHICORY BLUE (Douglas, 1942) Each $8.00 



Large blue self with closely domed standards slightly ruffled at the 

 edges. A four-footer with broad flaring falls. Color matches chicory- 

 blue of Ridgeway. HM AIS, 1942. 



CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945) Each $15.00 



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 Flpmingo Pinks. 36-inch 

 stems, strong and well branched. HM AIS, 1945. 



GOLDEN FLEECE 



CHINA MAID (Milliken, 1936) Each $1.00; 3 lor $2.50 



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 four feet, with a myriad of 

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



CHIPPEWA (Salbach, 1943) Each $5.00 



A new plicata in very deep yellow tones and a rather different 

 form remindful of an oncocyclus hybrid. Standards clear deep 

 yellow with slight brown markings near the haft. Falls yellow, 

 very heavily suffused and dotted brown. Strong yellow beard. 



CLOUD CASTLE (Graves, 1944) Each $9.00 



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. 



COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk., 1934) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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 blendings. Dykes Medal, 1938. 



CHRISTABEL (Lapham, 1936) Each 75c 



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 three feet in 

 height. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. Very limited stock. 



COPPER PINK (Kellogg, 1941) Each $5.00 



Big pink blend with coppery suffusion at the haft. There is some 

 blue shading on the midrib and the style-arms are blue. Beard 

 orange-brown, with considerable gold about the center. HM AIS, 

 1942. 



CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1936) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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

 Clear golden yellow standards, broad fiery red falls, startling in 

 their contrast. When well grown on an established plant it is un- 

 beatable. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1939. 



COPPER RIVER (DeForest, 1945) Each $20.00 



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.
