FIRECRACKER 



COPPER ROSE (Cook, 1941) Each $4.00 



A smooth blending of old rose, tan and copper, brightened by a 

 glow of golden yellow at the center. Standards between buff-pink 

 and Japan-rose; falls between terra cotta and ochre-red. Coloring 

 is rich and bright, the flowers medium to large in size, with very 

 wide standards and falls. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. 



DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A great heavy flower of deepest blackish bronze-purple, the beard 

 rich golden bronze. From New Zealand, and credit is due the 

 originator for having made it possible for American gardens to 

 enjoy such an outstanding Iris. It has all good points — excellent 

 form, tall stems, and succeeds everywhere. 



CORAL MIST (Grant, 1941) Each $10.00 



A medley of 'pink and deeper coral-pink, with cinnamon flush. 

 Large flowers, flaring, on tall stems. Gives a pink garden effect, 

 although a blend. Few plants. 



CORINTHE (Cayeux, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A huge purple self, bishop's violet by Ridgeway, with an almost 

 white beard. Blooming at the very last of the season it is seldom 

 seen and but little known. One of the best of this color. 



CORITICA (H. Sass, 1942) Each $10.00 



Precisely dotted brown on a rich yellow ground, it is regarded by 

 some Iris enthusiasts as the best of the Sass yellow plicatas. 

 Deeper in color than Balmung, but not quite as large. 



DAMERINE (Gage, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This fine red, not so well known, is a real surprise in this color 

 group. A large flower of deep red, the standards domed and the 

 falls flaring. Sells out fast and had to be withdrawn last season. 

 Bronze Medal at the New York World's Fair in 1940. 



DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $6.00 



Huge golden pink, with slight undertone of copper. The flowers 

 are well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi- 

 flaring, but there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. 

 The name is most appropriate. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1943. Run- 

 ner-up for Dykes Medal, 1945. 



DEEP VELVET (Salbach, 1939) Each $2.50 



A striking introduction, one of the richest and best dark Irises we 

 have yet seen. Self colored in very dark, yet bright, blackish red 

 purple, with perfectly formed blossoms of very large size. Brown- 

 ish suffusion at the haft, with deep bronze beard. HM AIS, 1941; 

 AM, 1942. 



DIRECTEUR PINELLE (Cayeux, 1932) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Another deep bronze-purple, a bit more on the reddish side than 

 Destiny. The center is aglow, owing to the golden beard and 

 bronze-yellow suffusion at the heart. Very large in size and a 

 rapid increaser. 



DISPLAY (Grant, 1942) Each $7.50 



One of the darkest and richest reds we have ever bloomed in our 

 garden. Almost black in certain lights, it glows with a hidden 

 fire in others. Described as Spanish red, shading to deep maroon, 

 it has but little of the purple influence in it. No veining at the 

 haft; yellow beard flecked brown. About three feet tall. HM AIS, 

 1942. 



DOGROSE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tall wiry stems. We originally im- 

 ported this Iris from England several years ago and have con- 

 stantly had difficulty in keeping enough stock to offer. A very 

 free bloomer, it is of medium size but makes a most colorful and 

 effective pink garden clump and is a beautiful cut flower in the 

 house. 



DUBROVNIK (Williamson, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A brilliant rosy blend, richly toned with gold. It carries some blue 

 in its makeup, too, but this is subdued by the golden copper-rose 

 effect. HM AIS, 1940. 



E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Glowing coppery red blend; it stands in a special niche all its own, 

 because it is neither red nor copper. Large flowers of silky tex- 

 ture, fragrant, on 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1939. 



EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham, 1942) Each $10.00 



A very fine new red by the man who produced Red Gleam. The 

 coloring is rich and glossy, deep but bright maroon-red; the blooms 

 trimly tailored with no haft venation and a brownish touch near 

 the center. Bronze-gold beard. Height about three feet.
