COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk. '34) Everyone likes Copper Lustre, the 
first of the real coppers to be introduced. The lustre is copperish, 
but the undertone is a golden tan, not the red we usually picture 
when someone mentions copper. The cupped standards of the large 
blooms have a heavy midrib of green-gold; the semi-flaring falls add 
a golden glow to the lustre, because of the deep gold beard and 
green-gold reverse. 36". A.M. '37. $6.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kell. '36) Of brilliant, glowing copper-red, this 
iris has tremendous carrying power. The cupped standards are 
more red than those of Dauntless; the falls, straight-hanging but not 
drooping, have a definite color suffusion of violet through the center. 
Also, a distinct epaulette of burnished copper appears on each 
shoulder of the falls — this named the iris. Medium sized blooms 
on low branched, 34 inch stalks. H.M. '36. $10.00 
Now let's hear the others rave: — "Color outstanding in 
a garden of outstanding irises. Studied color in the early 
morning, in midday sun, in afternoon shadow — always 
a glow as if from stained glass of ruby, violet and Etruscan 
gold." N.C. "I liked this iris be ter this year than in 1936; 
it seems to have more brilliance and lustre ... it is a real 
color novelty and the garden effect is good." Pa. "Unique 
— would give a lot to see this in the clump." Minn. 
DARK KNIGHT (Salb. '34) The mahogany-red robe of Knighthood 
girds this gallant one — changeable in appearance from the black 
of Black Wings to an unusual ruby-red — always a wealth of color 
which would add dignity and nobility to any garden. Large well- 
formed blooms of excellent substance. Knighthood is again in 
flower! 45". H.M. '36. $2.00 
DAUNTLESS (Conn. '27) This iris, deep red in the falls, slightly 
lighter in the standards is, we claim, a necessity in every garden.

you have some. A profuse bloomer of excellent substance, and a 
very sturdy grower. 42". Dykes' Medal '29. 3 for $.75, $.35

CORTEZ (Nes. '34) This brilliant yellow, rose and purple iris stuns 
all the lovers of variegatas with its size, poise, and carrying power,

yellow with rose at the edges, silver-spangled; the widely flaring 
falls are bright velvety crimson-purple. The perfectly shaped blooms 
have unsurpassed substance, and miraculously endure hard rains 
and winds. Late. 38". H.M. '33. $18.50

intense blue velvet of the falls. A profuse bloomer, with excellent 
carrying power. 34". $.75

impressive, standing above a forest of broad-bladed foliage. Early.
