CHROMYLLA EACH $1.50 



With its soft smooth fiiiisli, lieavy substance, and 

 nnifonn lemon clirome eohn-inp-, Cliromylla has stead- 

 fastly advanced in po]Hilarity until it stands in the 

 front rank of modern yellow irises. Of course there 

 are a number of very good new ones, and tastes are 

 bound to differ, but we can hig-hly recommend tliis 

 one. 



CLARA NOYES EACH 60c, THREE FOR $1.50 



Tills lovely warm blend from tlie Sass jrardens lias 

 been a sensation in the iris world for the ])ast few 

 years. The coloring is a medley of ])each and aijricot 

 tones, suggesting- the rich and brilliant blendings of 

 the rose "Talisman." A beautiful novelty which is 

 always a complete sell-out each season. Small rhiz- 

 omes always. See page 24. 



COLUMBINE EACH 50c; THREE FOR $1.00 



Introduced as a white Aphrodite, one of the 

 pai-ents. As clean and clear as a crystal, with lovely 

 form, slender branching stems, this free flowering 

 white is distinct from all other white irises, and as a 

 result it was awarded the silver medal at the English 

 Iris Society's exhibit in London in 1930. Columbine 

 is a very fast multiplier. 



COPPER LUSTRE ,,ch $25.00 



Absolutely unicjue, a magnificent iris from the 

 hand of Dr. Kirkland, who gave us Desert Gold, 

 Black Wings, and a number of very recent novelties 

 cei'tain to make a fine impression on the iris growing 

 ])ublic. Copper Lustre ])ositively glows in its bright 

 coi)per, 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 

 last Mav when the American Iris Society met in 

 Nashville. H. M. AIS 193."). 



CORALIE EACH $7.00 



A blend of ])ink and red that ai)proaches rasp- 

 berry color in effect, 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. Very 

 limited stock. 



CORONATION EACH 20c; THREE FOR 50c 



For those who do not feel like investing in the 

 newer yellows offered in this list because of the 

 higher cost, we sincerely reconnnend Coronation. It 

 is a uniform deep yellow, absolutely hardy, doesn't 

 fade, and compares well with irises of recent intro- 

 duction in other colors. 



CROWN JEWEL EACH $6.00 



A redder Clara Noyes, giving a burnt-orange 

 mass effect. Vahiable on account of its vivid color- 

 ing, being neither large nor tall, about thirty inches. 

 An easy grower and ra|)i(l iiicreaser. 



CROWN PRINCE EACH $1.50; THREE FOR $3.50 



Finest and richest of Dominion variegatas, with 

 deep orange-yellow standards and falls of dark and 

 velvety red-brown, solid to the edge. A superb iris 

 on the Pacific Coast, it reaches real perfection in 



New England and the Northern tier of states. Pro- 

 duced by Dr. Kleinsorge, and one of our own well 

 received introductions. 



CRYSTAL BEAUTY EACH $7.50 



A new white from the Sass Brothers, said by some 

 to be the cleanest white yet produced. It has been 

 highly praised by critics in the Iris Bulletins. Few 

 ])Iants. 



DAUNTLESS EACH 65c; THREE FOR $1.50 



Probably the most poinilar and widely known of 

 all so-called red irises. Although we now have sev- 

 eral newer introductions that surjjass it, none the less 

 Dauntless remains near the top, and there has never 

 been sufficient stock to supply the demand. The 

 blooms are of great size, on tall heavy stems, and last 

 over a long season. The coloring is rich velvety red, 

 with very little of the blue or purple undertone. A 

 former Dykes medal winner. 



DAY DREAM EACH 50c; THREE FOR $1.00 



One of those "peachy-apricot" blends in shades of 

 ])ink and yellow. For some reason, this variety has 

 never been exploited as have many less deserving 

 sorts. Day Dream is not just a lovely color medley — 

 it is a very tall, well branched, vigorous growing iris, 

 with large flowers : one of those things that will bring 

 exclamations of delight from your garden visitors. 



DEPUTE NOMBLOT EACH 75c; THREE FOR $2.00 



()ni' of the world's greatest irises, a French intro- 

 du'jtion that has proven extremely popular every- 

 where. Standards light glowing rosy-purple, over- 

 laid bronzy gold. Falls very wide, spreading, pvir- 

 l)lisli garnet-red shading to lighter rosy bronze at the 

 edge. Deep orange beard. Over four feet tall, espe- 

 cially well branched. A Dykes Medal winner in 

 France. Photogi'ai)li on page 9. 



DESERT DAWN EACH $1.00 



Glorious .yellow and lavender blend, the gold of 

 the center extending- almost to the ti]is of the stan- 

 dards and falls, which are pure lavender. A great 

 improvement on Candlelight, with less lavender, 

 larger blooms, and a stronger stem. Extra late. 



DESERT COLD EACH 75c; THREE FOR $1.75 



Among the earliest of the tall bearded grouj). An 

 t'xtremely large, fine formed, smooth clear yellow. 

 Standards are nicely domed, pure light yellow. Falls 

 are extra broad, pure yellow with very rich yellow 

 beard. It certainly is deserving of a position among 

 the best new introductions. Plant a clump in front of 

 several clumps of Santa Barbara — they bloom to- 

 gether, and what a picture! H. M. AIS 1931; A.M. 

 1 932. 



DOCROSE EACH $1.00; THREE FOR $2.00 



A very beautiful, superb ])ink iris, with vci-y lai-ge 

 oval shai)ed flowers in a uniform shade of soft rose- 

 jiink. with dee]) gold beard. The stalks are almost 

 shoulder high, and it is a profuse bloomer. This vari- 

 ety will show lip to best advantage after it has be- 

 come established a full year. Winner of a silver medal
