SNOW MAIDEN: Pure white, and so free blooming that it covers the ground 
like a drift of snow. 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland). Consid¬ 
ered Chancellor Kirkland’s most out¬ 
standing iris, greater even than Black 
Wings (runner-up for the Dykes 
Medal Award). A new “break” in 
breeding, described as “The outstand¬ 
ing iris of the century. Color irrides- 
cent copper, like a new penny.” Very 
definitely copper colored, and one of 
the most noteworthy new iris. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1935. Nidseason. 30-inch. 
$ 12.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kellogg). A fine new 
iris, in the red tones, but with rich 
violet and coppery violet undertones 
which make it one of the most un¬ 
usual of the newer iris. Not a giant, 
but of good size, and as distinct as 
any iris in commerce. Stock limited, 
not more than one rhizome to a cus¬ 
tomer. H. M., A. I. S., 1936. Mid¬ 
season. 38-inch. $15.00 
CORALIE. As distinct as any iris grown, 
this vividly colored variety is a real 
treasure. Color best described as a 
blend of pink and red that approaches 
raspberry color in effect. Medium tall, 
with good sized flowers. Mid-season. 
27-inch. $5.00 
CORONATION. A deep rich yellow 
which does better than Pluie d’Or in 
some places. 35c 
CORTEZ (Nesmith). A bold near- 
variegata of fine form. Standards 
honey colored, with falls of ruby red, 
marked white at the haft. Highly 
commended in New England, where it 
was introduced. 38-inch. $22.50 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls). A most 
unusual blue-black iris which gains its 
distinction from the dark brown haft 
markings. Most attractive and very 
popular. H. M., A. I. S., 1936. 36-inch. 
$5.00 
CRYSORO. One of the intermediate 
type, low growing and early blooming. 
We consider this one of the best of the 
early yellows, because of its bright 
bi’assy gold color. Not in conflict with 
the larger and taller California Gold, 
wh’ch is a late bloomer. H. M., A. I. 
S., 1932. 20-inch. 40c 
CYDALISE. Noticeable for large sized 
flowers, well poised on the firm, branch¬ 
ing stem. Plicata markings on buff 
ground. Floriferous. Late bloomer. 
30 inch. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
DARK HORSE (Mitchell 1936). Rich, 
dark red-violet, a strikingly colored 
iris. Most distinctive. 
Coloring by Ridgway: Standards 
bright glowing Mars Violet, falls deep 
Violet Carmine overlaid pure, velvety 
black. A dusky gold beard adds to 
the richness of flower. A Wotan in 
the red shades. Mid-season. 28-inch. 
$5.00 
DARK KNIGHT (Salbach 1934). This 
magnificent mahogany red iris is the 
richest we have seen in its color class, 
and is a fine bold grower with large, 
well formed blooms. 
The color impression created by this 
majestic iris varies with the light—for 
at times it appears as inky black as 
Dr. Kirkland’s Black Wings, yet from 
other angles it offers a rich ruby glow, 
the like of which we have found in no 
other iris. 
A tall, noble flower that is a “stand¬ 
out” in any company. Perfectly formed 
blooms and the deep rich color carry 
clear across the garden. Unusually fine 
substance and finish. Retains its out¬ 
standing color qualities under light. 
Described in various sections of the 
country as “Most outstanding with all 
its rich colors”—Missouri; “A tall mag¬ 
nificent iris, dark and rich, late in 
blooming, standing out from the rest 
and drawing you to it”—Mass.; and 
“Dark Knight is lovely and will go 
far”—Nebraska. 
Late. 45-inch. $4.00 
A Real Garden 
“My garden is only a small one,” a 
customer told me, “but I spend about 
$20.00 a year for water and fertilizer. 
If I buy cheap seeds, plants, and bulbs, 
I can have a lot of pretty flowers—but if 
I spend about $5.00 more for good stock, 
like yours, I can have a real garden— 
something outstanding that I can be 
proud of, and which I will enjoy to the 
utmost.” Certainly a most logical con¬ 
clusion, particularly when one considers 
that in addition to the actual cost of 
growing, one invests a good many hours 
of toil and thought in the planning, prep¬ 
aration, and care of a garden. We offer 
you the greatest possible value for your 
garden dollars, because we discontinue 
any item that is relegated to second place 
in its line—and because we never sacrifice 
quality for cheapness sake in any other 
manner. 
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 breed¬ 
ing. A parent to both Copper Piece 
and Red Radiance. We have unusual¬ 
ly fine, firm rhizomes, but neverthe¬ 
less suggest that you order early if 
you wish this renowned iris, as the 
demand indicates a sell-out. 
One of the six American iris that 
have received the Dykes Medal Award. 
Mid-season. 40-inch. 40c 
DAY DREAM. One of the most beau¬ 
tifully colored of all blends. Standards 
of pale iridescent lilac, faintly suffused 
bronze yellow. Beard and reticula¬ 
tions of yellow, and falls of lilac pink. 
Mid-season. 42-inch. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
DEPUTE NOMBLOT. This magnificent 
iris is acclaimed by experts from 
America, France, and England as 
Cayeux’ outstanding achievement. It 
is an imposing giant of greatest vigor, 
strong foliage, with a stout firm spike 
over four feet. Well branched. Blooms 
enormous, with wide spreading falls. 
Color light glowing rosy-purple over¬ 
laid a bronzy gold. French Dykes 
Medal, 1930, and A. M., A. I. S., 1936. 
Late. 36-inch. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
DESERT GOLD. A fine yellow with 
smooth finish and perfect form, and 
most pleasing 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 inter¬ 
mediates, such as Gaynelle, Crysoro, 
Soledad, etc., are fading, bridging a 
gap before the fine new Mitchell yel¬ 
lows reach their zenith of bloom. Fine 
for breeding. Early. A. M., A. I. S., 
1932. 28-inch. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
DILKUSH. A hybrid of Iberica X Pal¬ 
lida—on the William Mohr type. Fine 
rounded flowers, with standards heavi¬ 
ly veined. Deep bluish-purple. Popu¬ 
lar. Mid-season. 20-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
DOGROSE. A fine lavender pink iris 
that is a shade deeper than Pink Satin, 
and distinct from the other iris in this 
color shading. Most attractive, very 
definitely worth while. A prolific 
bloomer with many flowers to each 
stem. 30-inch. 85c; 3 for $2.25 
DOLLY MADISON. “Eventually, you 
will own Dolly Madison,” say the Wil¬ 
liamsons, introducers of this superb 
variety, and they are probably right, 
as this entrancing 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. 
Growth vigorous. H. M., A. I. S. Early 
mid-season. 25-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c
