color to the bright throat. 36". $16.00 
CAPRI (Schr. '36) A taffy-gold self describes this best —■ as yummy

flue, the standards open to drink in the gold of the sun. Nice for 
borders. 30". $1.60 
CARVED IVORY (Essig '37) Ivory it is in color and finish — carved 
to perfection —■ not a new smooth glossy surface, rather the soft

beard adds intensity to the blooms of exceedingly heavy substance. 
Flaring falls; wide, well-rounded standards. 36". $3.00 
CASQUE D'OR (I. Sass '37) A rich, vital iris, new in depth of

i 
CHEERIO (Ayres '34) What ho! What cheer! The brilliant wine 
colored, velvety falls flare slightly and a flush of the wine tones is 
carried over the dull golden, gracefully uching standuds. A tall 
vigorous grower — one of the loveliest two-toned reds. Among the 
velvety reds. Cheerio and lunaluska perform best according to our 
standards. A.M. '38. $1.76 
CHEWINK (Wmsn. '37) Table iris. A light violet self with uching 
standards, flciring falls, and a rich yellow beud. 18". $ 1.00 
CHIEF SIDAR (Gage '38) A chieftain, indeed! Brother of Rosy 
t Wings, and similar to Dauntless, but more rose than red.

/ falls slightly velvety. The rosy red is radiant and the flower 
has a fragrance of crushed reispberry. 42". $3.60

gold standards and impelling red-violet falls. 40". $.60 
CHINA MAID (Mill. '36) Man can fashion no china so superbly 
delicate, so soft in coloring, so smooth in texture, as the China Maid. 
Nature has given her standuds of delightful soft lilac pink, bur¬ 
nished with copper, and fedls of mallow pink, suffused with lilac 
and blended and lightly edged with bronze — one of Nature's many 
wonders. 40". H.M. '38. $6.00 
CHINA ROSE (Salb. '34) If you must call an iris an "orchid", here 
is one, in pink and lavender, very delicately shaded. 30". $.60 
CHOSEN (White '37) Chosen, dear iris, because you are such a 
tremendous clear yellow, with fine shaped petals, thick and firm of 
texture; because your falls pose so gracefully, and your standards ue 
so full. You are a taller, deeper, luger Lady Puamount. H.M. '38. 
$16.00 
CHRISTABEL (Laph. '36) A deep red, worthy of much praise. The 
standards ue dark wine, the falls a red, slightly suffused with yel¬ 
low and heavily overlaid with blackish purple — really, not fu from 
a self. A light toned yellow glow from the orange beard gives a 
serene candlelight effect. Fine branching and form. 40". A.M. '38. 
$7.60 
CINCINNATI (Ayres '36) In Cincinnati, Venus de Milo becomes 
larger and taller. Smooth warm white flowers. 42". $2.00 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass '37) The standards are a vivid honey 
yellow; the falls a glowing burnished red, trimmed with a narrow 
honey yellow edging. Both the arching standards and the flaring 
falls dip in a graceful ruffle at the tips. The wide yellow haft with 
burnished venations adds to the exceptional vivacity of this super 
variegata. Late. 42". $20.00 
CONESTOGA (Kirk. '38) A popular Indian chief of the Susquehanna 
Valley; a justly popular copper colored iris. Standards are gold and 
copper; the falls a gleaming red-copper. The petals are broader 
than are those of some of the other "coppers" and the blooms ue 
carried on stems, low and widely branched. $ 6.00 
C(H*PER LUSTRE (Kirk. '34) Here we have it — the first choice 
for the Dykes' Medal, last year. And may we pause here to add our 
word of preuse to the many already given to Dr. Kirkland, (the origin¬ 
ator of this iris) retired Chancellor of Vanderbilt University. He is a 
scholar, a gentleman, and a contributor of great value to our be¬ 
loved Held, iris and iris hybridizing. In 1934, Copper Lustre was the 
first break into the Copper field. It has a tan undertone; the surface 
shimmers with gold; there is a prominent midrib of green-gold and 
a deep golden beard. 36". $4.60 
COPPER PIECE (Kell. '36) Gallant, gay, gleaming! Gamble on 
it — it has so much copper in it, that you can't lose. The ruby-red 
stcindards are cupped; the falls, straight hanging, as befit the car¬ 
riage and shape of the flower, are copper red, shimmering with a 
suffusion of violet through the center. A distinct epaulette of bur¬ 
nished copper appears on each shoulder of the falls, which ue edso 
delicately edged with the same. Blooms are medium sized on low- 
branched stalks. 34". H.M. '36. $6.60

dazzling blend of rose pink and glowing wine red, flushed with 
lavender. 38". $1.26 
CORTEZ (Nes. '34) Standards of honey yellow, edged with rose, 
and widely flaring, almost horizontal falls that are a bright dark 
crimson-purple, make this iris a powerful little giant — powerful in 
its amazing colors, which carry fu across the guden; little in that 
the bloom is medium sized and the stalk a medium height; and a 
giant in holding up stoutly against blindingjsun or pouring rain. 
38". H.M. '33. $10.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nic. '34) Has a southern belle's mysterious fas¬ 
cination; the metallic lustre markings at the haft make the falls seem
