BLUE VELVET (Loomis 1929) 46" S. F. An iris 
of superlative beauty. A large flower of heavy 
substance on rigid stems, finely branched. A clear, 
rich, heavy textured, dark blue self. The whole 
flower is of a hitherto unequalled velvety appear¬ 
ance. The standards are of the same shade as the 
falls and almost as velvety. It is like the richest 
shade of deepest darkest blue velvet. No other 
Dominion seedling compares with it and in our 
opinion, it is one of the best iris we have intro¬ 
duced. $2.00 
BUECHLEY’S GIANT (Buechley 1933). A huge 
iris, similar to lovely Lord of June in coloring. 
S. clear light blue, arched and held erect. F. a 
deeper shade of blue, widely flared and of firm 
texture. The stalks are well branched and carry 
the large flowers gracefully. Lord of June is a 
sparse bloomer and the standards 
flop in hot weather. A variety 
of this coloring, without the 
faults, should be a real addition 
to a good collection. $5.00 
CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS (Rowell 1931) M. 44" 
F. Strong and sturdy this beautiful blended self 
of deep rose and buff has a firm rounded shape 
and thick substance. The stems are strong and 
well branched. A lusty grower and one of its 
best features is its fine foliage which stays green 
all season. $ .75 
CARFAX (Bliss 1930) M. 38". Remarkable for 
its branching habits. A stalk in full flower is like 
a candelabre as the branching is four-way. The 
flowers are large and of perfect form and sub¬ 
stance. It is a red purple self and the falls are 
velvety. $3.00 
Silver Gilt Medal, London, 1930. 
CAMELLIARD (Sturt 1927) M. 
50" F. A striking variegata 
with large but well proportioned 
flowers. S. amber yellow. F. yel¬ 
low overlaid wine purple on the 
blade of the flaring falls to 
within half inch of the orange 
beard, where it breaks into veins 
on a yellow ground. It is second 
only to Claude Aureau, as a 
light colored variegata. $ .50 
CANTILENE (Can-te-len) 
(Cayeux 1929) M. 42". F. Huge 
flowers of heavy substance. F. 
rich violet shaded to warm gray 
at the tips. The extremely wide 
falls are a warm shade of rich 
purple. Hardy and free flower¬ 
ing. Very desirable. $1.00 
CANDLELIGHT (Andrews 
1926) L. 42". Large flowers of 
pinkish lavender illumined from 
within by a rich golden glow, 
difficult to describe but alto¬ 
gether lovely. The glow extends 
to the very tip of the standards 
and falls, with just enough con¬ 
trast to give a soft color effect. 
A fine variety that becomes more 
popular each year.
