DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson) 
For a landscape iris, this variety is ideal. The standards are white 
faintly flushed with blue, while the falls are a bright violet paling 
at the edges. You will be pleased with the effectiveness of this 
iris in your garden. 3 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
DRUID (Sturtevant) 
Although not widely known, this iris is quite a favorite in our 
garden. The large flowers are a mixture of maroon, old gold and 
brown, with a golden haft and beard; the combination giving a 
decided bronze effect. Viewed with the sunlight coming through 
the falls, Druid has a decided charm. 3}/^ feet. 25c/ 3 for 50c 
EARLY MASS (C. G. White) 
A tall light blue iris that has lost nothing of grace and charm by 
attaining height and size. It stands fifty inches tall with flowers in 
proportion on perfectly spaced branches. A leading iris authority 
in her 1935 notes wrote as follows: “I cannot imagine any color 
lovelier than this, it is so smooth and pure. The standards are slightly 
bluer in tone than the falls. The soft, broad, tapering beard is tipped 
with warm yellow.” In 1936 her notes say; “Must note again the 
grace and dainty poise of this beautiful flower—also its exceptional 
blue tone—one stem is 54 inches tall.” $3.50 
EASTER MORN (Essig) 
This iris has everything the name suggests. The flowers are a pure 
virgin white with a sparkle and sheen that reminds one of a lovely 
satin wedding dress. The glowing yellow center gives a warmth of 
beauty that is beyond description. The falls are stiff, wide flaring, and 
of unusual substance. Foliage is exceptionally large and vigorous, and 
in California is green and attractive the year around. A clump of 
Easter Morn in full bloom is truly a sight to behold. Height 4 feet. 
See illustrations on pages 2 and 9. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux) 
A highly recommended light yellow that has come to us from 
France. The flowers are of the semi-flaring type and are of medium 
size on 3]/2 foot stems. Eclador won the Dykes Medal in France in 
1932. $2.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr) 
One of the largest flowered irises we grow and a variety that 
stands out. Violet in color—highly recommended for California. 
4 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
EROS (Mead) 
One of the newer pinkish irises, having a 36-inch stem, with three 
short branches. As the flower opens it is deep ashes of roses, which 
fades to a pale shade of the same color. A clump is lovely in the 
garden. $2.50/ 3 for $5.00 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson) 
A coppery, red-toned iris which has received a great deal of 
favorable comment. It has been called one of the reddest of red 
irises. It is rich and dark with yellow in the haft, veined brownish- 
purple. The standards are the same color as the falls except that 
the falls have a velvety texture. $2.00 
EUPHONY (Sass, H. P.) 
A striking flower. The standards are a mustard yellow shading to 
light brown at the tips. The falls are a mustard yellow flushed with 
blue in the central portions and overlaid with brown. A free 
bloomer. 2)^ feet. 35c/ 3 for 75c 
EVOLUTION (Cayeux) 
Another outstanding achievement of the noted French breeder. 
The coppery bronze standards are wide and frilled, the flaring falls 
are a slightly deeper shade marked in the center with a brilliant 
rose-blue blaze. An indescribably lovely combination of colors. 
3 feet. 35c/ 3 for 75c 
FAIR ENOUGH (C. G. White) 
Is Fair Enough indeed ! It could hardly be excelled as a medium- 
toned blue iris. The broad, crisp, sparkling petals rest on perfectly 
branched stems 48 inches tall. It has a long blooming season, being 
one of the earliest of the large flowered varieties to bloom and it 
continues to bloom past all believing. It is one of the bluest toned 
irises, rating with Shining Waters and Early Mass. $3.50 
FIESTA (C. G. White) 
Needs no description for those who have seen it. It is not an 
iris that one forgets. The standards are like sparkling copper and the 
falls are copper with tints of rose-purple. The hafts are bright 
yellow and the beard is brilliant orange. The unopened buds 
resemble burnished copper. It is a large flower on a 38-inch stem. 
Not only is it a rare color among irises, it is also strikingly beautiful. 
See illustration, page 8. $12.50 
FIREFALL (Essig) 
If you have ever seen the famous firefall in Yosemite Park, this 
iris will bring back pleasant memories. It has the red of glowing 
coals with a prominent golden yellow beard, and will add a warm 
note to any garden. The flowers are of good size carried on stems 
of medium height. 30 inches. 25c; 3 for 50c 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr) 
This iris is so outstanding and such a universally dependable 
performer that it should be in every garden. It is a luminous pink 
bi-color of exceptional size, with the standards a pale lilac and the 
flaring falls a deep lilac rose. The flowers have a clean, well-bred 
appearance and are at once admired for their charming form and 
poise. Blooming period from midseason to very late. 4 feet. 
25c/ 3 for 50c 
GIFT (Lothrop) 
Possesses that elusive thing that we call “finish” to a remarkable 
degree. There is elegance in its form, in the smooth blending of the 
changeable old gold and purple of its silken standards, and in the 
falls of finest carmine velvet—unveined. It has everything required 
to make a fine iris, beauty of form, beauty of color, heavy substance, 
fine texture, and a perfectly branched stem. This iris was developed 
from hardy strains. $2.50
