CARDINAL. Rich velvety crimson pur¬ 
ple of wonderfully glossy texture.

CARISSIMA. See Bridal Veil. 
CASQUE D’ OR {Jacob Sass 1937.) 
We are most pleased to be able to 
help to introduce this magnificent iris. 
It is a most stunning, richly colored 
variegata, entirely different from City 
of Lincoln. The great value of Cas¬ 
que d’ Or arises from its richness, 
while City of Lincoln is most strik¬ 
ing because of its unusual brightness. 
Casque d’ Or is best described as a 
larger, taller Aurex; very bold. Tall 
and well branched—a fine iris in every 
respect. Stock limited, not more than 
one to a customer. Mid-season. 40-in. 
$ 20.00 
CHEERIO {Ayres). In general effect, 
Cheerio is a red — one of the very 
brightest in existence. Actually, the 
standards are red, flushed dull gold. 
Considered one of. Dr. Ayres best crea¬ 
tions, and described as “a flame in the 
garden.” H. M., A. I. S., 1936. 38-inch. 
$6.50 
CHINA LANTERN {Essig). A very 
tall, well branched iris having frosty 
bronze standards and russet red falls. 
44-inch. $2.00 
CHINA ROSE {Salbach 1934). A “little 
Frieda Mohr” except that it is warm¬ 
er in color and has a most delicate 
antique appearance. Colors exquisitely 
blended, and blooms are the most 
orchid-like of any iris. Described as 
orchid-rose warmed by a bronze under¬ 
tone at the bottom of the standards. 
A decided favorite which flowers early 
and continues through the season. See 
color picture, inside back cover. Mid¬ 
season. 36-inch. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
CHROMYLLA. A large, smooth yellow 
which makes a fine clump. Does par¬ 
ticularly well in the Mid-West and 
East. Mid-season. A. M., A. I. S., 1932. 
30-inch. 75c 
CITY OF LINCOLN {Hans Sass). The 
find of our iris trip. Tall, bold, and 
brilliant, and perfect of. habit, it is a 
real standout—the finest variegata that 
we know of. As we saw City of Lin¬ 
coln blooming in the gardens of the 
Sass brothers, it stood out like a bea¬ 
con-light; the most vividly colored 
variety of all. 
Standards clear bright yellow, falls 
rich red. Well branched. Stock very 
limited. Mid-season. 40-inch. $30.00 
CLARA NOYES. An unusual new variety 
with colors blended much as in a Talis¬ 
man rose. Low growing, but so dis¬ 
tinct that it is entirely different from 
any other iris. Standards tan, flushed 
heliotrope; falls reddish bronze, lined 
deeper bronze. Yellow beard and haft 
undertone of. the same color. 
Decidedly popular. Should be or¬ 
dered early, as the demand is heavy. 
A. M., A. I. S., 1932. Rhizomes natur¬ 
ally small. Mid-season. 22-inch. 40c 
CLAUDE AUREAU. A splendid iris of 
robust constitution, imposing habit 
and great size of blooms. The stand¬ 
ards are golden yellow, the long wide 
falls are russett brown with a large 
margin of bronzy gold. French Cert, 
of Merit. Mid-season. 30-inch. $1.50 
COPPERSMITH. Flowers having a 
glorious copper-bronze sheen. Heavy 
substance, smooth finish, and fine form. 
Floriferous. Fragrant. Mid-season. 
28-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c
