Burning Bronze 



CHOSEN Each $25.00 



The great new yellow from Southern California. 

 Claimed to be solid yellow throughout, with no Dykes 

 parentage, a giant plant reaching 50 inches in height. 

 We have neither bloomed it nor seen it as this is 

 written, but of course shall have done so ere this 

 catalog reaches you. 



CHROMYLLA Each 50c 



With its soft smooth finish, 

 heavy substance, and uniform 

 lemon chrome coloring, Chromylla 

 has maintained a steady popular- 

 ity as one of the leading new yel- 

 lows. 



CLARA NOYES 



Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



This lovely warm blend from 

 the Sass gardens has been a sen- 

 sation in the iris -world for the past 

 few years. The coloring is a med- 

 ley of peach and apricot tones, 

 suggesting the rich and brilliant 

 blendings of the rose "Talisman." 

 A beautiful novelty which is al- 

 ways a complete sell-out each sea- 

 son. Small rhizomes always. See 

 page 39. 



COLUMBINE Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Introduced as a white Aphro- 

 dite, one of the parents. As clean 

 and clear as a crystal, with lovely 

 form, slender branching stems, this 

 free flowering white is distinct from 

 all other white irises. 



COPPER LUSTRE 



Each $8.00; 3 for $20.00 



Absolutely unique, a magnifi- 

 cent iris from the hand of Dr. Kirk- 

 land, who gave us Desert Gold, 

 Black Wings, and a number of 

 very recent novelties certain to 

 make a fine impression on the iris 

 growing public. Copper Lustre pos- 

 itively glows in its bright copper, 

 gold, and pinkish tan blendings. It 

 is a huge flower, with lush foliage, 

 and in the garden of its originator 

 was the center of attraction and 

 comment when the American Iris 

 Society met in Nashville. H. M. 

 AIS 1935, A. M. 1937. See page 11. 



CORALIE Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A blend of pink and red that 

 approaches raspberry color in ef- 

 fect, with a dazzling note added in 

 the bright golden beard. With this 

 fine variety Dr Ayres has scored 

 honors again, for Coralie was 

 awarded an H. M. by the AIS in 

 1932 and in 1933 was given the 

 Dykes Medal. Such recognition 

 stamps it as a certain leader for 

 many seasons to come. 



CORINTHE Each $10,00 



A new French introduction from Cayeux that was 

 awarded a special Certificate of Merit in Paris in 

 1934. The flowers are of immense size and beautiful 

 coloring, with broad arching standards of rich silky 

 bishops violet. The falls are broad and spreading, of 

 richest velvety bishop's violet. A strong grower, 

 reaching four feet in height. Very few rhizomes.
