J. C. NICHOLLS, JR. 
Alchemy. A much larger Primrose, with rounded bloom of good substance on 
well branched stem. S. deep yellow, evenly colored; P. lighter, paling to almost 
white at center, which area is overlaid with a slightly bluish iridescence; deep 
orange beard. Fragrant; very much admired by visiting judges. $5.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nich. 1934). 4152). 36". Perthuis derivative. Very 
rich and distinct Bishop’s purple self of medium size on perfectly branched 
stalks. Brown beard and colored haft enhance the ‘‘self” effect. The distinct 
and beautiful feature of this flower is the mask-like flush of very deep Bishop’s 
purple on the haft and extending down on to the Falls to below the beard; also, 
its glowing satiny finish. Very fragrant. A first class Iris in every way. $10.00 
CROWN JEWEL (Nich. 1934). (9859). 34". A greatly improved Clara 
Noyes in many ways; taller, larger, and much redder, being a red orange, or 
burnt orange, in mass, whereas Clara Noyes is peach-colored, being much more 
yellow. Crown Jewel has better shape and substance than Clara, with much 
broader petals, the Falls being absolutely circular, and the S. domed, not cupped, 
as in Clara. Also, the petals are much more solidly colored than Clara’s. A 
stronger grower than Clara Noyes; very vigorous and floriferous. Planted next 
to Clara Noyes and Golden Light, it continually “stole the show” from those 
two, and, in fact, was more praised by both amateurs and experts than any other 
Iris in the entire garden. $10.00 
GOLDWING (Nich. 1934). (11390). 36". An even tone of bright yellow 
throughout. Clearer and more evenly colored than Pluie d’Or, and with better 
substance and shape on the same height. Larger bloom with widely flaring 
Falls that make it seem much larger. Well branched, a fast, strong grower, 
and very floriferous; an excellent, thoroughly hardy yellow Iris. $2.00 
JOLLY ROGER (Nich. 1934). (4374). 36". Rich, dark velvety indigo— 
purple with brown beard, S. Lighter than Falls. A fragrant, shapely, clean 
cut, blackish blue purple. Short but low-branched; has a very slender and 
graceful stalk compared to Blue Velvet, Black Wings, et cetera. Rich, pretty, 
and bright; not dull as are some of the dark blue purples. $10.00 
OXHEART (Nich. 1934). (10114). 36". (Cardinal X Seedling). Deep rich 
“Strawberry” red purple with large circular Falls; velvety, and a very rich 
self color, with beard in harmony, and no prominent reticulation. Grape fra¬ 
grance. Strong grower with several blooms open at once. Praised by everyone 
who saw it. $5.00 
SNOW SHADOW (Nich. 1934). (7249). 34". (Miss AVillmott X Cardinal). 
A large shapely white, pure in color, but Falls over-flushed with clear coerulean 
blue, and with beard of same pretty blue. Cardinal size, shape, and even 
heavier substance, well branched, and fragrant. Quite distinct from other whites, 
and a very beautiful Iris, $8.00 
SUNMIST (Nich. 1934). (8244). 36". A large glittering pure white with 
bright yellow central area composed of yellow beard and deep yellow haft flush 
that extends to the end of the beard. Tall, well branched, and a good grower. 
Locust fragrance. Has an ethereal look, but of really heavy substance. Was 
the most sensational thing in the garden in 1933, and has evoked much praise 
in other gardens this year. A very distinct Iris. $10.00
