reds, this iris maintains its high standard of excellence of color, habit and growth. Soft dark

the best low-priced red. 42”. 3 for $1.50; $0.75

DOG ROSE (Ins. ’30) We didn’t especially care for this iris when we first saw it, but it is increasing 
in popularity every year. There are many large, oval shaped blooms, which have good sub¬ 
stance, and are of a delicate shade of pink. Silver Medal, London, ’29. $1.25 
DORE (J. Sass ’35) An interesting new iris, painted in yellow and white. The light yellow of the 
S. is faintly reflected on the white F., which are also bordered with yellow. The claw 
is Empire yellow,- the haft is heavily veined with the same,- the beard is deep yellow. 
The large flowers are on 37” stems. $7.50

amber and white, dancing over the d unes. 36''. .3 for $7.00; $3.00 
EASTER MORN (Essig ’32) Of the stateliness and purity of the conventional Easter flowers, this 
glistening white iris, with its heart of gold, is the most outstanding white from the coast and 
the largest and tallest in the garden. The falls are stiff and flaring and the whole bloom is of 
unusually heavy substance. A light protection for the winters in cold climates is advisable. $2.00 
ECLADOR (Cay. ’31) One of the very fine yellow irises of French origination. The flower is of 
primrose yellow, with domed S. and unusually broad flaring F., very slightly veined with brown. 
An orange-yellow beard decorates the yellow throat; and there is a narrow gold margin 
completely around all the petals. The substance is remarkably good. It will be interesting 
to compare this with some of the American yellows, for habit of growth. 42”. Dykes’ Medal, 
France, ’32. $ 8.00 
ECLAT (Gage ’33) Those who are searching for the dainty charm of smaller irises, will delighf 
in this one which, in its unfolding, has been likened to a rosebud. Pink overlaid on wax-yellow 
gives an orange effect, which is enlivened by the orange beard. 32”_ 3 for $5.00; $2.00 
ECSTASY (Mor.-Sturt. ’31) It seems impossible that a rich red-copper effect can be obtained, by 
combining tan over purple S. with reddish raisin-purple F. — but such it is! 33”. $ 1.00
