purple or violet overtones. The branching is good and the plant hardy and 
prolific. $15.00 
CAM ELINA (J. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. A new and lovely light yellow iris of daffodil 
coloring, fresh and appealing in form and color tone. The flowers are large and

CLINTON SYLVESTER (Callis 1938) M. 40 in. This is described by its originator 
as a fine large white iris with distinct plicata markings of peach blossom pink.

$10.00 
CORONET (D. Hall 1938) M. 42 in. A very lovely new color in iris—a soft, rosy 
beige with a golden tone. The flowers are large and well rounded, the finish 
smooth and lustrous. The bloom stalks are tall and widely branched, the plant 
vigorous, hardy and free blooming. $25.00 
CRIMSON PETAL (Norton 1938) M. 30 in. A fine newcomer among red irises is this 
one of deep, rich crimson tone. It is not a giant but is large enough and is so 
floriferous and colorful that it is well worth a place in any garden, it is per¬ 
fectly hardy and well behaved in this climate, having come from Mt. Vernon, 
Iowa. $2.50 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nich. 1939) M. L. 42 in. This iris comes so well recommended 
that we anxiously await its first blooming here this spring. It is described as a 
large, deep red with arched and domed standards ana velvety falls of deeper 
shade. Its color is accented by a bright orange beard and an orange glow at 
the upper haft. The tall stalk is widely branched, carrying many flowers. The 
plant is floriferous, hardy and vigorous. $15.00 
ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. This is one of .the most beautiful irises we 
have ever seen and we are most fortunate to have a plant that will bloom in our 
garden this spring. The color is an exquisitely clear, pure sulphur or Chalce¬ 
dony yellow by Ridgeway. It is not just another light yellow, but a color never 
seen before in iris, a most etherial tone with a faint greenish cast. We have 
tried to catch its illusive hue in our color plate—but when you see the flower 
you will say no picture could be as lovely. The flowers are medium large, of 
rounded, graceful form and perfect carriage. At last Mrs. Sass has chosen an 
iris to be named for her and it is a lovely one. $40.00 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) M. 34 in. A fitting name for this dark, glamorous 
beauty. The standards are of deep, black purple, the falls still darker and cov¬ 
ered with a lustrous black sheen. The substance is most excellent, the color 
truly extraordinary. Hardy and free flowering. $15.00 
GIRALDA (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 60 in. This very tall iris is named for the Spanish 
bell tower, Giralda (pronounced he-ral-da) in Seville. It really grows nearly 
six feet tall and we have a picture of Mr. Hans Sass showing the tallest bloom 
towering above his head. The flowers are large and of a clear orchid pink, 
will be especially interesting to breeders because of its great height. $15.00 
MANAVU (Thorup 1938) M. 38 in. A white and yellow bicolor of striking beauty. 
r I he standards are creamy white, well arched, the falls canary yellow and semi- 
flaring. I he flowers are large and beautifully formed—an iris of great refine¬ 
ment and charm. $15.00 
MATTERIHORN (J. Sass-Sch. 1938) M. 38 in. This is a wonderfully fine new white 
iris as chaste and pure as the snow on the mountain for which it is named. Of 
spai kling sheen, firm substance, beautifully rounded form and large size, its 
many flowers are proudly borne on tall, splendidly branched stalks. It is per¬ 
fectly hardy and blooms freely. H. M. 1938. R. 90, 1938. $15.00 
MISSOURI NIGHT (Callis 1938) M. L. 30 in. A seedling of Baldwin and Blue Velvet 
this is described as a rich, dark velvety blue, a pure self of indigo coloring. $10.00

much attention. The flowers are very large, with standards of pure lustrous 
pink with yellow at the base and falls of deep rosaline pink. H M 1937 R
