West Hartford,Conn. 
CIMARRON (Wmsn. '32) A large well-rounded bloom of a red that is different from the other 
redirises. S. are magenta; F. dahlia purple. 34". $1.50 
CLARA NOYES (H. P. Sass ’30) We are glad that we have reached Clara, so that we can make 
some "noyes!” We’ll beat the drums, we’ll blow the trumpets, we’ll acclaim Clara as most 
distinct in color, for its price class. Distinct? yes, and mighty lovely, too. Pink and orange 
are blended into a crinkled apricot mass. The rhizomes are small, but the increase is very 
rapid. 36".. A.M., A.I.S. ’32.3 for $2.25/ $1.00 
CLAUDE AUREAU (Cay. ’28) One of the blended variegatas. The golden yellow S. are slightly 
flushed; the wide F. of intense Bordeaux wine color are widely margined with bronzy gold. 
The blooms are large. 36". C.M., S.N.H.F.$1.50 
COMSTOCK (Salb. ’32) We found this iris different and interesting. The maise yellow S. are 
suffused with lilac,- the light yellow F. shade to cream and have heavy brown reticulations. 
32". $2.00 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk. ’34) Dr. Kirkland astounded the iris world when he rubbed the lamp and 
this copper genie appeared; the first of the real coppers to be introduced, and a 
decided break in color. A copper self, of iridescent sheen, "almost exactly the shade 
of a nearly new penny.” The cupped S. have a heavy midrib of green-gold; the semi- 
flaring F. add a golden glow to the coppery lustre, because of the deep gold beard 
and green-gold reverse. The large glowing copper flowers of fine form and finish are 
well placed on strong stalks and are absolutely weather resistant. 36". H.M., A.I.S. 
’35. $25.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kell. ’36) See page 4.$20.00 
CORALIE (Ayres ’32) Of this iris the introducer says: — "The loveliest color we have seen in 
an iris. The broad S. are a clear pale red, flushed lustrous mauve; the F. a beautiful shade 
of glowing wine red. The pure golden beard greatly enhances the beauty and adds to the 
dazzling effect of this fine variety.” In the west they say: — “Just another pretty little iris.” 
We say, the colors are charming, but we have yet to see it worthy of the Dykes’ Medal it 
received in '33. 38".$7.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nich. ’34) A winning belle, using pleasing scent and costumed in satiny Bishop’s 
purple. A vestee of deeper purple is buttoned down by the brown beard. Another writer 
calls the costume ‘ clear, brilliant heliotrope.” The flower has a smooth finish with cupped 
S. and flaring F.$6.00 
CROWN JEWEL (Nich. '34) Call out the band! The drums and trumpets that acclaimed Clara 
Noyes will not be sufficient to salute this new. deeper orange-toned iris. Though the coloring 
is vivid, it possesses great charm, enhanced oy a rose suffusion. Of great vigor, this iris of 
burnt-orange will add a crown jewel to your collection. 34". $6.00 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass ’35) A white so pure, so cool, so graceful, that the beholder gasps! 
C P\ His dream of a large, hardy pure white has now been fulfilled. Not as large as Snow 
jwjJl King, but "the whitest white of them all.” The large flowers are of excellent sub- 
stance and the stems are tall and well branched. 40". $6.00 
\ 
CYDNUS (Wall. '29) The river so famed in ancient history for the clarity of its waters, aptly lends 
its name to this fine iris, of clear shades of blue. The lighter tone of the S. is repeated in the 
stream that flows around the deeper, velvety F. Those of us who have so loved Lindbergh 
and Blue Banner, find this larger, better blue bicolor, very soul-satisfying. 34". $1.00 
CYRUS THE GREAT (Kirk. ’34) Hello, Cy! Your deep blue color is fine,- would that the blooms 
on those tall stalks were larger! A colorful group when planted as a background for the other 
early Kirkland irises, Desert Gold and Andrew Jackson. 42". 3 for $5.00/ $2.00 
DARK KNIGHT (Salb. ’34) Most gallant of the dark rich mahogany reds, changeable in appear¬ 
ance, sometimes as black as Black Wings, sometimes a dark ruby red, not found in other irises. 
Truly noble in the large and perfect form, in the excellent substance and in the richness of 
coloring. 45".-. $7.50
