DOG ROSE (Insole 1930) M. 42". This lovely pink in¬ 
creases in favor each year. The flowers are large, oval 
shaped, of good substance, of a delicate shade of pink with 
a heavy golden beard. This variety is a prolific bloomer 
and the stalks are covered with many fine blooms. A superb 
sort. Strongly recommended. $.50; 3 for $1.00 
Silver Medal, London, 1929. 
DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1932) M. 36". A huge heliotrope and 
violet bicolor which gives the effect of a blend. S. pinkish 
lavender; F. violet shading to lavender-violet at the edge. 
A unique and attractive flower. $1.00 
DYMIA (Shuber 193b) M. 38". A new name among hybrid¬ 
izers. Mr. Shuber, of Clinton, Iowa, who produced some 
delightful blues, with the old Blue Boy as one of the parents. 
Dymia (Dark Plum Blossom) is a very large, very dark 
purple self, almost black, with a dark blue beard which 
harmonizes beautifully with the falls and intensifies the 
coloring. An iris of great charm and garden value. $5.00 
EASTER MORN (Essig 1931) M. 40". A grand white iris 
of a warmer tone than Purissima, deepened by the brilliant 
beard and faint veining at the throat; the flowers are large 
and heavy textured and the shape similar to Santa Barbara. 
A.M., A.I.S., 1933. $1.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) L. 40". Without doubt, one of 
the finest of yellows. Standards butter yellow, broad and 
ruffled; F. semi-flaring of same shade, with velvety blaze in 
center of petal. Because of its form, Eclador is different 
from the usual iris bloom; it reminds me of a canary with 
deeper yellow wings. Highly recommended. $4.00 
C.M., H.N.S.F., 1932. 
Dykes Medal, 1932, France. 
ECLAT (Gage 1934) M. 34". A dainty iris of rather small 
proportions of pink and copper blending; the flower is very 
attractive and when unfolding resembles a rosebud. An ideal 
cut flower. $1.00 
EILAH (Loomis 1935) M. 40". A beautiful deep yellow self 
almost as large as W. R. Dykes, but perfectly hardy and a 
reliable bloomer. An exceptionally fine yellow and a worthy 
addition to our list of novelties. $10.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr 1929) M. 40". One of the older 
varieties but more popular than ever. Huge flowers on tall, 
well-branched stems which carry a large number of blooms. 
Color, a light violet self. $ .35; 3 for $1.00 
EL TOVAR (H. P. Sass 1933) L. 33". A richly colored 
variegata. S. brown shaded honey in center; F. long and 
flaring, velvety red brown with a black flush. Should be 
planted with bright yellow else it gives a somber effect. 
H.M., A.I.S., 1932. $5.00 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 38". A truly 
beautiful iris named in honor of the late Mrs. Charles L. 
Winchester, wife of the president of the J. B. Lyon Co , 
publishers of Flower Grower. The flowers are very large, of 
a clear intense red with a smooth velvety finish. The petals 
are one color, without venation and the effect unusually 
lovely. Very outstanding is this new red. Vigorous and a 
sure bloomer. $12.00 
EREBIAN (Loomis 1931) M. 40". A rich deep Bordeaux red 
self with a heavy gold beard which intensifies the velvety 
texture of the falls. This iris has an exquisite finish and 
refinement of texture seldom found in even the newest 
introductions. The stalk is very well branched. $ .35 
H.M., A.I.S., 1930. 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 38". A lovely example of softly 
blended tones whose garden effect is pale coral pink. The 
flowers are smoothly finished and have much soft gold at the 
throat; the stalks are tall and a little highly branched, but 
this is offset by its glorious color. $4.50 
Award of Merit, A.I.S., 1934.

flower of brilliant red tones; S. arching of clear red with a
