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 
smooth substance and finish. Retains 
its outstanding color qualities under 
light. Described in various sections of 
the country as “Most outstanding with 
all its rich colors”—Missouri; “A tall 
magnificent 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”—N ebraska. 
Late. 45-inch. $2.00 
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 breeding. 
A parent to Copper Piece, Miss Cali¬ 
fornia, and Red Radiance. We have un¬ 
usually fine rhizomes, but nevertheless 
suggest that you order early if you 
wish this renowned iris, as the demand 
indicates a sell-out. 
One of the few American iris that 
have received the Dykes Medal Award.

DAY DREAM. One of the most beau¬ 
tifully colored of all blends. Standards 
of pale iridescent lilac, faintly suffused 
bronze yellow. Beard and reticulations 
of yellow, and falls of lilac pink. Mid¬ 
season. 42-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c

particularly suited to rock garden use. 
Perhaps the best of all are Hoogiana, 
slender stalked clear blue; Snow Maiden, 
dwarf white; and Sound Money, dwarf 
yellow.

iris is acclaimed by experts from 
America, France, and England, as

enormous, with wide spreading falls.

smooth finish and perfect form, and 
most pleasing luminous coloring. A 
light yellow deepening toward the 
center of the flower. Good size, well 
branched, and of. unusual substance.

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 
from every standpoint, being one of 
the best “buys” in yellow iris. A parent 
of Miss California, it is also excellent 
for breeding. Early. A. M., A. I. S., 
1932. 28-inch. 40c

branched stalks. Absolutely distinct.

E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937). An 
iris that earns the distinction of being 
a definite color break, and a most wel¬ 
come one, too. The plant growth is 
tall, the form of flower is good, and 
the color, very rich, resembles soft cop¬ 
pery-red silk, or brocade. In addition 
to its splendid color, this flower is 
blessed with an unusually lustrous, 
silky texture. Well branched. All fac¬ 
tors considered, E. B. Williamson 
ranks as a real standout — one of the 
finest introductions of. 1937. 
The first reports we received con¬ 
cerning this top-notch iris were so 
glowing that we at once arranged to 
have a bloom Air-mailed to us; it ar¬ 
rived in good condition; a real beauty. 
Fragrant. Mid-season. 36-inch. $20.00
