EILAH (Loom. ’35) A yellow that is real yellow; not quite as deep toned as California Gold, 
but almost as tall and large. An iris of beautiful color and of exceptionally fine form 
'•rSBln and substance,- perfectly hardy and a fine bloomer. We hope to place this iris high 
Lwv in the field of yellow irises. 38".$13.50

ELEANOR BLUE (So lb. ’33) Oh! Eleanor Blue, 
There are mighty few 
Who carry the Rue 
Of your petals so blue! 
The chicory blue flowers with their flaring falls appear more lovely each time one looks at 
them. We think this is one of the best. 36".$2.00 
ELECTRA (Sass-Schr. ’35) Classical writers of many centuries have used the story of Electra, famed 
in ancient Greek myths. Doubtless iris catalogue writers will be writing about this 
Electra, for years to come. It is a plicafa, the S. having a blue margin and dots,- the 
semi-flaring F. are pronouncedly veined with blue markings, that shift to gold along 
the prominent gold beard. ...$5.00 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grint. ’35) Ella comes onto the stage magnificently gowned in deep, yet 
glowing red, and is destined to outshine many a red star, that has seemed so outstanding 
to us, in recent years. "Each plays his part.” This iris is of very fine form, the velvety 
falls having no venations. The plant is tall, sturdy and of rapid increase. The intro¬ 
ducer says of it that it "has everything a real iris should have.” 40".$15.00 
EOTHEN (Ware. ’32) Many treasures have come to us ‘ out of the East,” not the least of which 
are the antique ivories, of which this iris seems to be made. The large blooms with flaring 
falls are carried on well branched stems .3 for $2.50,- $1.00 
EQUIPOISE (Wmsn. ’34) Ride, jockey, ride! Equipoise has the requisite carrying qualities. The 
tall, graceful lavender and yellow flowers are well balanced.$1.50 
EREBIAN (Loom. ’31) Somber, as befits the “Place of Darkness”; this is a rich dark purple blend 
of exceptionally fine finish. The gloom is lightened by a heavy gold beard. 40". H.M«, 
A.I.S. '30.$0.75 
EROS (Mead-Ried. ’34) The God of Love winged his way into our garden, wrapped in a cloud 
of iridescent pink, through which shine the yellow sunbeams. The effect is a salmon pink of 
enchanting tone. A favorite because of the color, of the large shapely flowers, the fragrance 
and the vigor. 42". H.M., A.I.S. ’34.$8.00 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Wmsn. ’32) This is an iris that, like the great iris enthusiast for whom it was 
named, Mrs. Peckham, brings life and good cheer into our gardens. It ranks with Cheerio as 
one of the great red bicolors, although this more nearly approaches a self. The flowers are 
large and of heavy substance. 34". H.M., A.I.S. ’32.$6.00 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Laph. ’32) An iris that has fulfilled its promise of being one of the most 
worthwhile of the light pinks, with its rounded form and extra fine heavy texture that does not 
fade in the sun. 36".$1.50 
EVELYN BENSON (Murr. ’31) Evelyn has chosen a deeper tone of pink, than did Ethelwyn, a 
pink that is fresh and bright with a heavy waxlike enamel finish for the large flower. The 
growth is very vigorous and the stem well branched,- blooming time is late. Silver Medal, 
London.$2.00 
EVOLUTION (Cay. ’29) In this flower, Mons. Cayeux has evolved from his earlier experiments, an 
iris of such beauty that it will be “a joy forever.” The color is a light coppery bronze with 
frilled S. and F. that are a tone deeper, that have a brilliant blue center and are flushed with 
rose. 42". C.M., S.N.H.F.3 for $2.25,- $1.00 
FAIRYLEA (Hall ’32) As tho’ a fairy, clad in white satin, has, while dancing in the dell, picked 
up on the edges of her skirts, a few pale lavender cobwebs. A white plicata, large and well 
formed, very faintly bordered with lavender. 32".$5.00
