Finest Iris 
EL CAPITAN—Huge but graceful—unsurpassed in its color class. 
Dauntless. 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. Has been one of our 
best-sellers. Does well everywhere and 
valuable for breeding. We have un¬ 
usually fine, firm rhizomes, but never¬ 
theless suggest that you order early 
if you wish this renowned iris, as the 
demand indicates a sell-out. 
One of the five American iris that 
have received the Dykes Medal Award. 
Mid-season. 40-inch. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
Depute Nomblot. This magnificent iris is 
acclaimed by experts from America, 
France, and England as Cayeux’ out¬ 
standing achievement. It is an imposing 
giant of greatest vigor, strong foliage, 
with a stout firm spike over four feet.

wide spreading falls. Color light glow¬ 
ing rosy-purple overlaid a bronzy gold.

Desert Gold. A fine yellow with smooth 
finish and perfect form, and most pleas¬ 
ing luminous coloring. A light yellow 
deepening towards the center of the 
flower. Good size, well branched, and 
of unusual substance. Comes into bloom 
just as the intermediates, such as Gay- 
nelle, Crysoro, Soledad, etc., are fad¬ 
ing bridging a gap before the fine new 
Mitchell yellows reach their zenith of 
bloom. Early. Aw. Mer., A. I. S., 1932.

they are probably right, as this en¬ 
trancing flower is a most outstanding 
and unusual blend. 
Pale pinkish mauve standards, with 
broad flaring falls of lilac. Haft tinted 
gold, with an intense orange beard. A 
most outstanding blend of colors.

outstanding long-blooming, light violet 
blue iris. A sell-out for the x )as t two 
seasons, so early ordering is advisable 
this season. Early mid-season. 38-inch.
