AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
13 
EILAH (Loomis 1935) M. 40". 
A soft-toned medium gold of good size. Similar in form 
to its parent, Chromylla. One of the leaders among the 
newer yellows. $4.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M. 40". 
A truly majestic iris of soft lavender-blue coloring and 
unbeatable candelabrum branching. In form slightly lan¬ 
guid. One of the largest irises ever produced and one of the 
must haves of every collection. 25c 3; for 60c 
ELEANOR BLUE (Salbach 1933) M. 32". 
Chicory to campanula blue with more lavender in the 
falls, which flare sharply. An iris of unusually fine, leathery 
texture. 50c 
ELECTRA (J. Sass 1935) E. 36". 
A hardy early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a 
white ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. 
Blooms are well rounded and of good size. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.25 
ELIZABETH EGELBERG (Egelberg 1930) M. 38". 
A sturdy mauve-pink of heavy texture and fine branch¬ 
ing. An exceptionally vigorous, stout-stemmed variety. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 36". 
This glowing mahogany red with its long velvety falls 
made a decided hit last year. $6.00 
EL TOVAR (H. Sass 1933) L. 36". 
An interesting blended variegata with fluted standards of 
burnished gold coloring and falls of deepest oriental maroon 
with a surface sheen like glistening black silk. $4.00 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 40". 
A tall salmon or coral pink. The color is very lovely but 
the blooms are the least bit disproportionately small for 
the stem. $1.00 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) M. 34". 
This brilliant, large-flowered red is one of the leaders in 
its class. Pictured on page 23. $2.00 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Lapham 1932) ML. 34". 
A large-flowered orchid-pink with soft lemon-yellow 
beard. Very attractive. 50c 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) ML. 34". 
The new “black” iris; practically a self. The sheen of 
the heavy falls is so lustrous that a large part of their area 
appears literally black, reminding one of the color of black 
pansies which are also literally black save for a blending 
of deepest purple near the edges and the center. (Pictured 
on page 2 and described more fully.) $20.00 
EUPHONY (H Sass 1929) M. 32". 
A captivating gem, curled and frilled — a rich old-gold 
color burnished toward the edges, with a lustre of metallic 
lavender on the falls. 25c 
EVELYN BENSON (Murrell 1931) M. 32". 
Deep rose, approaching carmine, with a very smooth, 
enameled finish. A color with fine carrying-power, making 
this variety excellent for landscaping. Try it with creams, 
light blues, and deep violets. 25c; 3 for 50c 
EVOLUTION (Cayeux 1929) M. 36". 
One of the finest blends. The underlying tone of bur¬ 
nished copper glows throughout the center of the flower. 
dominates the well-arched standards, but in the falls pales 
and blends into a rich electric blue. A very tall iris of un¬ 
usual vigor, carrying especially fine foliage throughout the 
season. In the clump Evolution is a perfect mass of bloom. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) ML. 40". 
A very large light-blue iris (pictured on page 14), consid¬ 
ered by many who have seen it to be the most beautiful 
in its color class. The light blue color which is of great 
purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a “powder 
blue” or French blue effect. This very serene iris of opulent 
oval form would be wonderful in the garden picture com¬ 
bined with clumps of Fiesta — a warm golden-copper of 
similar form but not quite so large. Both carry subtle 
overtones of color while yet being seifs — the most reposeful 
form of color beauty. The contrast would be warm and 
novel, like an odd coppery sunset against the dwindling 
azure. $10.00 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge 1936) M. 40". 
A large warm blend of tan and rose with a misty blue 
haze around the beard. $10.00 
FASCINATION (Cayeux 1927) M. 34". 
One of the finest of the cool orchid-pinks. A large flower 
of heavy, satiny texture. 25c 
FAVOR 1 (Cayeux 1934) M. 30". 
An improvement on the popular Magenta, being larger, 
richer and perhaps a trifle darker. Broad petals and a 
delightful fluting add to the beauty of this distinctive new 
self-color. A really great iris in a shade where we have 
long felt the need of one. $5.00 
FIESTA (White 1936) L. 34". 
A coppery-apricot iris of uniform coloring and smoothest 
satiny sheen. The fine oval blooms are borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. A very lovely iris. $12.50 
FRAGONARD (Cayeux 1928) M. 32". 
This iris possesses a deeper tone of rose-pink than Fasci¬ 
nation and shares with it its satiny texture and all around 
excellence. 25c; 3 for 50c 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) ML. 38". 
One of the aristocrats of the iris world: a large lilac-rose 
bicolor of classic flaring form and splendid texture 
25c; 3 for 50c 
FRIVOL1TE (Cayeux 1930) M. 40". 
A light pink, sprightly colored, attractive in form and 
fine for use in the garden to give a pink effect; a free bloomer. 
25c 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) M. 30". 
An excellent new red self-color, leaning neither toward 
the purple nor the copper. A truly fine iris. $30.00 
GENEVIEVE SEROUGE (Cayeux 1933) M. 34". 
A soft pastel blend of honey-yellow and misty blue. It 
is large and of an oddly crinkled texture. $1.00 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1932) M. 38". 
Brittle, cool, sheer — a giant ice-blue of unmatched sub¬ 
stance overlain with a sparkle like frost crystals Supremely 
beautiful, but a rather miffy grower. $5.00 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitchell 1936) M. 36". 
Rich golden yellow of medium size without haft markings. 
Remarkably even-toned and smooth in texture. A beau¬ 
tiful new yellow from the originator of many of our best 
in this color class. $5.00
