EL CAPITAN Each 35c 



Here is one of the best and most popular irises 

 ever originated, a gigantic light manganese violet 

 bicolor, a frequent winner at the shows, and a real 

 stunner in the garden. 



ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Deep fluorite purple self, with very rich falls. The 

 opening flower is almost black, and the heavy blue 

 beard tends to increase the depth of color. This is 

 the leading fall-blooming iris in commerce today, be- 

 cause it increases very fast, is most reliable in flower- 

 ing habit, and is one of the most beautiful irises in 

 the garden regardless of its added value as a re- 

 bloomer. 



ELKHART Each $10.00 



Newest introduction from E. G. Lapham, a velvety 

 deep fiery chestnut of perfect shape and habit. See 

 page 1 1 . 



ELOISE LAPHAM Each 40c; 3 ioi 90c 



This delightfully ruffled flesh pink iris has re- 

 ceived two successive awards. It appears to have 

 the delicate smoothness of kid, and its rapid increase 

 and great freedom of bloom will be sure to make it a 

 great favorite. About the size and shape of Midgard; 

 of medium height. See page 38. 



ELSINORE Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A flower but little known, and one which is de- 

 serving of greater popularity. Of only medium size, 

 its dainty blossoms of pale primrose-yellow are deli- 

 cately edged and stained violet, and are produced 

 abundantly. Something different. Try it. 



EL TOVAR Each $6.00 



A gorgeous variegata blend, in rich brown-yellow 

 and blackish maroon, with a yellow glow at the heart. 

 This iris is one of the foremost of all new introduc- 

 tions of the past three years, having been awarded 

 an H. M. of the AIS in 1932 when first exhibited. 

 Nothing like it. Height 3 feet. 



EOTHEN (Out of the East Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Soft ivory-yellow, entirely overlaid buff, produc- 

 ing an effect of rich antique ivory. Typical Dominion 

 shape, the falls flaring widely, and with domed stand- 

 ards. Large blooms, freely produced, make this a 

 marvel in the garden picture. 



EREBIAN Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A self of rich, dark, bordeau red lightened by a 

 heavy gold beard. The big dusky flowers are freely 

 produced on very tall and well branched stalks. This 

 iris was produced by Dr. Loomis of Colorado Springs, 

 who gave us the popular Blue Velvet. H. M. AIS 1930. 



EROS Each $4.50; 3 for $10.00 



Very tall salmon colored self, possibly the nearest 

 to this color ideal that has ever been offered. The 

 throat is lit with gold, giving it a brilliance and 

 warmth especially telling in garden effect. Stock is 

 scarce, and we have only a few rhizomes for sale this 

 year. 



ETHEL PECKHAM Each $3.50; 3 for $9.00 



Large, perfectly formed flowers of a blazing red- 

 dish tone. This iris, put on the market in 1932, has 

 created a stir equaled by few introductions in the 



past twenty years. The reason is that many irises 

 with quite red falls possess standards of tan or violet 

 or lilac, but Ethel Peckham is a red self — the largest, 

 most brilliant, and most nearly red of all irises. One 

 stalk of bloom in the garden will draw instant atten- 

 tion! H. M. AIS 1932. 



ETHEL WYN DUBUAR Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A new outstanding pink, produced by E. G. Lap- 

 ham, of Elkhart, Indiana, and introduced in 1933. A 

 heavy flowering variety, it evoked the following com- 

 ments in the AIS Bulletin for October, 1933: "The 

 largest flower of any pink I have seen. A 'best seller' 

 in my garden. A larger flower than Pink Satin." 

 Deep pink in general effect, with lemon beard. Height 

 3 feet. See page 40. 



EUPHONY Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



The standards are mustard yellow, waved and 

 fluted, stained with light brown at the tips. Falls 

 are squarely held, mustard yellow, flushed with 

 blue in the central portion and overlaid soft brown. 

 Th's is a lovely and bright color harmony, and the 

 great freedom of bloom of this variety makes it a 

 heavy favorite. See color reproduction on page 34. 



EVOLUTION Each 65c 



Pale copper-bronze self, with heavily frilled stand- 

 ards. The falls are also copper-bronze, but are over- 

 laid blue and capped with a brilliant orange beard. 

 This is of French origination, and is one of the most 

 worthwhile irises we have had from that master. 

 Cayeux. 



FAR WEST (Kleinsorge, 1936) Each $15.0a 



Shown on page 14, a warm and mellow blend of 

 salmon and golden sand, of coral and henna, with 

 a soft glow at the heart. Originated in the West, and 

 containing that multitude of tints seen in the western 

 sky at sundown. Of bold and sturdy growing habit, 

 the big blooms are well spaced on fine stalks reach- 

 ing 40 inches in height. 



The likeness of this flower is achieved by a new 

 process and we guarantee its absolute accuracy, 

 although some reduction in size was necessary. 



FRIEDA MOHR Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Dependable anywhere, despite the fact that it was 

 originated in California and contains tender blood, 

 it is perfectly at home in Ohio, Minnesota, and New 

 England, as well as in the moist climate of the Pacific 

 Northwest. The color is r: lively shade of violet-pink, 

 standards slightly lighter than the falls. Its huge 

 size and great height make it a leader in any color 

 class. See color illustration on page 34. 



FRIVOLITE Each 75c; 3 for $1.75 



The general effect is one of brilliant shrimp-pink, 

 with golden glints. This French introduction is of- 

 fered as a great improvement upon the fine variety 

 Marquisette, being a deeper shade. A very lovely 

 and unique novelty, at its best when established a 

 year. It increases rapidly. See page 24. 



FROST QUEFN Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Frosty white, exceptionally free bloomer, and of 

 perfect form. This has ^roven very dependable as a 

 re-bloomer in Kansas, Nebraska, and Tennessee, as 

 well as on the Pacific Coast. A succession of new 

 bloom stalks follow each other throughout the fall.
