CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass '35) "My delight and thy deUght 
Walking like two angels white

DIRECTEUR PINELLE (Cay. '32) In France, this handsome

veritable perfection of form. The standards are clear coppery wine 
red and the falls wide, deep velvety blackish garnet red. $3.50 
DOG ROSE (Ins. '30) According to many, the nearest true pink,

finish and durable substance. 36". H.M. '38. $15.00 
ECLADOR (Cay. '31) As an inexpensive yellow with a large bloom,

EILAH (Loom. '35) This resplendent yellow is a deep self, of fine 
form and substance. H.M. '37. $2.50

campanula blue iris charms us more and more each year. The flar¬ 
ing falls have a flush of deeper chicory blue. 37". $.50 
ELECTRA (Sass '35) A plicata that, for its floriferousness, its abil¬ 
ity to increase, and its hardiness, we strongly recommend. The large 
full standards are white, splashed with blue; the white flaring falls 
are button-holed with blue and have a few chestnut venations at the 
haft. Electrifying! 36". $.60 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grint. '35) "Oh, bright as a berry, they're

coral-pink shade has never been duplicated in any other iris. 36". 
A.M. '33. $.75 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Wmsn. '32) A red, worthy of considerable 
praise. On fine stems appear huge flowers, lighter above, velvety
