And on many a level mead 
And shadowing bluff that made the banks, 
We glided winding under ranks 
of Iris and the golden reed.

at the edges and evenly etched at the edges and at 
the throat, with a chocolate brown. In speaking of 
Cydalise, Mr. G. L. Pilkington, well known English 
authority said, “Cydalise was in splendid form, 
in the Cayeux garden, and is unquestionably a 
good iris.” $3.00 
DAUNTLESS (Connell 1929) M. 40" S.F. This 
beautiful variety is a lovely red self. The stand¬ 
ards and falls are of the same glowing red, but 
the heavy velvety quality of the falls makes them 
appear darker. The plant is a vigorous grower 
and prolific bloomer, and is, without doubt, one 
of the outstanding introductions of recent years.

DEPUTE NOMBLOT (Day-pue-tay' Nome-Blow) 
(Cayeux 1929) M. 52" F. A really magnificent 
iris of such great beauty of coloring, form and 
carriage that we find it difficult to do it justice. 
The flowers are large and well proportioned on 
very tall and widely branched stems. S. copper 
red flushed golden bronze. Falls wide and spread¬ 
ing and of a rich shade of claret crimson. The 
entire flower seems lightly dusted with a fine 
golden powder which sparkles and glistens in the 
sunlight, giving the flower a hitherto unequalled 
richness of appearance. English and French and 
American experts acclaim this as Cayeux’s finest 
achievement. 
Dykes Medal, 1930, S.N.H.F. $3.75 
DESERT GOLD (Kirkland 1930) 30" E. F. This 
is a fine early blooming yellow of large size, per¬ 
fect form and unusual substance. The flower is a 
pure yellow, luminous and fragrant. The flower 
stalk is strong and branching and an exceptionally 
strong grower. Blooms with Michelline Charraire 
and is lovely planted with it.

DOG ROSE (Insole 1930) This lovely pink iris 
was introduced by the Orpington Nursery. The 
flowers are very large, oval shaped and of fine 
substance and are of a delicate shade of pink with 
a golden beard. The falls are a shade deeper than 
the standards, but it is scarcely discernable. A 
superb pink sort which grows well over four feet.

shading to lavender violet at end of petals. Extra 
heavy substance and smooth texture. The color¬ 
ing is unusual and difficult to describe properly. 
$5.00 
EASTER MORN (Essig 1931) M. 42". Said to 
be the almost perfect white. A fine stalk, tall 
and graceful; a warmer tone of white than Puris- 
sima owing to the orange beard and the not con¬ 
spicuous veining of the old gold at the haft. The 
flowers are very large and of graceful form and 
heavy texture. 
A.M.A.I.S. 1933. $5.00 
ELIZABETH EGELBERG M. 48". Enormous 
flowers. A. tall and dome shaped. A beautiful 
blend of pink and mauve. F. flaring, lustrous 
mauve strongly shaded pink. The garden effect 
is a medium tone of light pink, with a central 
glow of creamy yellow, caused by the heavy 
orange beard on the light ground of the throat. 
Plant vigorous and hardy. $ .40 
ELOISE LAPHAM (Lapham 1932) 34". An ex¬ 
quisite variety, which gives a pale pink effect. S.
