ALTA CALIFORNIA 
CARNELIAN (Lothrop) 
This huge red flower on a four-foot splendidly branched stem makes 
a striking display in the garden. It is perfectly hardy, a vigorous 
grower, and a prolific bloomer. Greatly admired. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
CHEERIO (Ayres) 
Those who are looking for red in an iris will just about find it 
here and yet it is not a color that will offend the most conservative 
iris grower. It is the brightest of all irises in the red tones. The form 
of the flower is good and the falls are exceptionally beautiful with 
their bright, velvety sheen. A brilliant yellow beard completes the 
picture and makes Cheerio "a flame in the garden." $6.50 
CHINA BOY (Milliken) 
Those who see this magnificent iris with its huge flowers of rich 
red bronze, toned with shades of brown and carried on tall stately 
stems, immediately determine to have it in their own garden. China 
Boy is one of those rare flowers that has a universal appeal. A clump 
of it growing in your garden will provide that deep bronze color 
note so necessary as an accent to the yellows, whites, light blues 
and pinks. It is stunning growing near a deep blue-purple such as 
Royal Salute. $7.50 
CHINA LANTERN (Essig) 
This iris adds a new color note to the garden and is different from 
anything we have yet seen. The flowers are large with standards of 
old gold, strongly displayed in contrast to falls of red-violet. Of 
Cardinal parentage and perfectly hardy. 314 feet. $2.00/ 3 for $5.00 
CHINA MAID (Milliken) 
It is always difficult to paint a satisfactory word picture of a beau¬ 
tiful iris, but when it comes to describing China Maid, the task 
becomes nearly impossible. Words simply fail to convey an adequate 
impression of the beauty this flower possesses with its intriguing 
blend of pink, golden bronze and soft lilac—and color is only one 
of the beauties of this splendid iris. The large, well-proportioned 
flowers of sturdy substance and smooth even texture are carried on 
tall graceful stems and make a picture in the garden that brings forth 
unbounded praise. Try China Maid with some of the light blues, 
such as Shining Waters or Pale Moonlight. You will be thrilled 
with the beauty of this combination. $15.00 
BROWN BETTY (C. G. White) 
Whether it be a pudding or an iris it seems to be popular. One 
has cinnamon flavor, the other cinnamon color—cinnamon brown 
and more browns, copper tones and hushed lavenders. One shade 
predominates here and another there, and yet all is smoothly blended 
so that there are no harsh contrasts, no sharp demarcations of color. 
The standards are perfect in form from first to last, the falls at first 
are softly drooping, then widely flaring, like giant butterflies pausing 
on the tall, widely branched slender stems. It is a delightful iris. 
See illustration, page 13. $3.50/ 3 for $7.50 
BUNTING (Williamson) 
This is one of the new "Table Irises" from the Williamson garden. 
It is characterized by small dainty flowers on slender graceful stems, 
and thus lends itself admirably to table decoration. Two other 
varieties, Kinglet and Pewee, belong to this same class and will be 
found listed on pages 7 and 12. Bunting is a delightful pale violet 
self on 24-inch stems. It is fragrant. $1.00 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres) 
When we saw this iris in the originator’s garden, we were at 
once intrigued by the richness and charm of the flowers. It is a true 
bronze with a depth of color that defies description. Close inspection 
reveals an undertone of rich brown which accounts for the unusual 
warmth and vitality this flower possesses. 3feet. $6.50 
CALIFORNIA BLUE (Essig) 
A most vigorous iris, fine foliage, long blooming season, large 
flowers, great height, well branched and early. Rich bluish violet 
with a glowing beard. It is the most delightfully fragrant iris which 
we know. 4H feet. 35c,- 3 for 75c 
CAMELIARD (Sturtevant) 
An unusual and beautiful blend of yellow and wine color. The 
flowers are large and are borne on tall, well-branched stems. It is 
a dependable performer and has been an outstanding favorite with 
visitors to our gardens. 4 feet. 
35c,- 3 for 75c 
CHINA ROSE (Salbach) 
Described as a "little Frieda Mohr” but gives a very different 
effect in the garden. The color is an orchid-rose with soft delicate 
pinkish standards that blend beautifully with the deeper falls. 
Flowers early and continues well through the season. 
$1.00/ 3 for $2.50
