CABALLERO (Nich. '35) A gallant knight, one of the favorites from Col. Nicholl’s garden. We 
have entered the Caballero in the list for fame; may he prove himself worthy. The. 
domed S. are a red-lavender; the rosy-red F. have a satiny sheen. The Rowers are 
large, shapely and of good substance, on well branched stems. 44". $7.50 
CADMlA (Emig. ’34) We have not seen this iris in bloom, but knowing that primrose yellow always 
adds to the garden picture, we were glad to add it to our collection. Almost a clear yellow 
self, with large blooms, that are weather resistant. 30". $3.50 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (M. M. ’33) As deep and rich as any gold that ever came from California. 
Here it is — the largest golden yellow Rower ever seen in our garden and on the tallest 
stalks. The petals are broad, making a well rounded bloom, and retaining their rich color 
and upstanding quality through sun and rain. We, with all visitors last season, nominate 
California Gold as the leader among the rich yellows. 36". $10.00 
CALLING ME (Sturt. ’36) See page 4. $30.00 
CARADON (Bl iss-Sturt. ’32) A Grace Sfurtevant with darker falls and yellow standards. Late. 
40". $3.50 
CAPRI (Schr. ’36) All this winter we have been hearing a song of haunting loveliness about the 
Isle of Capri; we venture to predict that for years to come, you will be hearing about 
Bob Schreiner’s iris, Capri. A yellow and tan blend, that has excellent form and 
substance. We have no details about the Rower, but know that it received the Grand 
Championship Award at the St. Paul show, last season, and has been greatly admired 
by visitors at the garden. $7.50 
CARFAX (Bliss ’30) The flower is a rich velvety red-purple of fine substance, on well branched 
stems. $0.75 
CARNELIAN (Loth. ’32) A huge red flower from California, larger than their big plicata, Los 
Angeles. The stalks are very tall and are splendidly branched. 44". $ 1.00 
CASTALIA (Wmsn. ’33) Wins all our hearts. We think it the best of the low-priced light blues. 
The tone of the large flowers is exceedingly lovely, and is set off by an orange beard, that 
runs far into the white throat. The growth is vigorous and the foliage is erect. 34". $0.75 
CHAMITA (Wmsn. ’34) It’s different and we like it. Like Byzantium, the petals are overlaid with 
gold, but the undertone is a darker russet. A well shaped flower on good stalks; the plant 
increases rapidly. 31". $6.00 
CHEERIO (Ayres ’34) Cheerio! the iris says it; you will say it! The intense red tones of this iris 
shine out, like a flame, dominating the garden picture. The S. of dull gold are brightly red- 
flushed; the F. glow with a deep velvety red. The colors of this finely formed, interestingly 
textured flower retain their brilliancy in any weather. All these ecstatcies! But if really is 
the most striking red bicolor, to date. And we can add that it has great vigor of growth. 
Cheerio! 40". $12.50 
CHINA LANTERN (Essig ’33) This is one of the intriguing lanterns in its soft colors of old gold S. 
and Bordeaux red F., not garish and bright as are so many of the lanterns that we see. 42". $3.50 
CHINA ROSE (Salb. ’34) “A little Frieda Mohr, warmer in color and with a most delicate antique 
appearance.” We are glad that originators are shifting into reverse at times; we would 
like more irises of this smaller type. 30". $1.50 
CHIPMUNK (Rich. ’34) We have only the briefest description of this iris: — “white, with dark 
red and coffee-brown markings.’’ It sounds as tho’ it might make a good chipmunk. 36". $0.75 
CHROMYLLA (Loom. ’31) A uniform yellow-chrome flower of remarkably smooth texture. Has 
proven uneven in growth here; sometimes fine, again almost passing out. 40". A.M., A.I.S. 
’32. $2.25
