CARL SALBACH 
Dark Knight ( Salbach 1934). This magnifi¬ 
cent mahogany red iris is the richest we have 
seen in its color class, and is a fine bold 
grower with large, well formed blooms. 
The color impression created by this ma¬ 
jestic iris varies with the light—for at times 
it appears as inky black as Dr. Kirkland’s 
Black Wings, yet from other angles it offers 
a rich ruby glow, the like of which we have 
found in no other iris. 
A tall, noble flower that is a “standout” in 
any company. Perfectly formed blooms and 
the deep rich color carry clear across the 
garden. Unusually fine substance and finish. 
Retains its outstanding color qualities under 
light. 45".$10.00 
Dauntless (Connell). One of the very reddest 
of iris, producing a most effective clump in 
the garden. Color a velvety rose red. Very 
luminous and still one of the best in its color 
class. Awarded Dykes Medal, 1929.

beautifully colored of all blends. Standards 
of pale iridescent lilac, faintly suffused 
bronze yellow. Beard and reticulations of 
yellow, and falls of lilac pink, ,75c; 3 for $2.00 
Depute Nomblot (Cayeux 1929). This mag¬ 
nificent iris is acclaimed by experts from 
America, France, and England as Cayeux’ 
outstanding achievement. It is an imposing

a stout firm spike over four feet. Well 
branched. Blooms enormous, with wide 
spreading falls. Color light glowing rosy-

beard. Cert, of Merit, S. N. H. F. and W. R.

El Capitan (Mohr). Majestic flowers of huge 
size on a candelabrum type stalk, each of

out this most outstanding iris. Order early as 
El Capitan was a sellout everywhere last 
season.60c; 3 for $1.50 
Eleanor Blue (Salbach 1933). Fills a long felt 
want for an outstanding blue iris of medium 
height. Possesses the same delicate coloring 
and smooth finish of Hoogiana, but of good 
size and Santa Barbara form. The general 
coloring, plus the brown haft undertone, 
make this one of the warmest and best 
“wearing” blues. 
Coloring—Soft campanula blue with a flush 
of deeper chicory blue in the center of the 
falls. Soft brown haft and prominent yellow 
beard. A distinct iris of real refinement. 
The warmth of this iris makes it most val¬ 
uable; the more times one sees it the better 
one likes it.$3.00

by the name this is an iris of poise, elegance, 
and graceful growth. Plants 34 in. tall and
