AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
9 
CLARIBEL (J. Sass 1936) M. 40". 
About the tallest of the plicatas. A well branched iris 
of great size whose snowy whiteness is emphasized by the 
bright blue buttonhole stitching on the edges and the vivid 
yellow beard. $1.00 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M. 32". 
A giant subdued copper with undertones of fawn and 
magenta, the whole overlain with a golden iridescence. A 
much discussed iris because of its unusual color. 
$3.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kellogg 1936) M. 34". 
Deep metallic rose with distinct coppery haft and a 
definite blaze of lavender on the falls. $6.50 
CYBELE (Cayeux 1936) L. 32". 
A large flower of unusual form. Cybele carries its flowers 
with a distinct flouncing habit, recalling the clematis. A 
real variation that is most unusual. A lilac blue self tinted 
lavender. The falls are wide, rounded and are strictly hori¬ 
zontally spread. The form reminds one of the Japanese 
iris. $5.00 
CYDNUS (Wallace 1927) ML. 34". 
Every iris garden should have at Icist one striking blue 
bicolor. In our estimation Cydnus, of the velvety Dominion 
race, fills the bill better than any other. Its standards are 
a very pale blue; its falls a bright, velvety blue — producing 
a fresh and vivid contrast, valuable for a point of accent 
in the garden picture. 25c; 3 for 50c 
CORALIE (Ayres 1932) M. 36". 
One of the brightest pinks thus far produced in iris. A 
charming bicolor of delicate shell pink and light rose. Very 
effective for landscaping. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
CORONATION (Moore 1927) M. 44". 
In every color section irises come and go. Here is one 
whose popularity has survived the advent of many newer 
sorts. Not large but tall and of a deep golden tone. Coro¬ 
nation is one of the finest for landscape work where yellows 
are so necessary. 25c; 3 for 50c 
CORONET (D. Hall 1938) L. 34". 
When we think of this Iris, a soft blend, the term Inca’s 
tan comes to mind. In color, a soft golden-tan with a 
delicate underlay of rose-beige. Very much of a self. A 
seedling of Jean Cayeux and about the size of its parent. 
The blooms are well rounded and of lustrous finish. Medium 
tall stalk, nicely branched. $20.00 
CORTEZ (Nesmith 1934) VL. 38". 
A late blooming variegata with heavy red-purple falls 
and golden standards faintly blushed rose. $11.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls 1934) EM. 36". 
Ridgeway’s calls this particular color bishop’s purple. 
In the haft there is an intensification of this color and a 
blending with brown, producing a very rich color effect. 
$ 1.00 
CRIMSON PETAL (Norton 1938) ML. 33". 
A handsome iris with good garden effect. Good sized 
blooms, well arched standards and full, broad, semi-flaring 
falls. Standards are red with more velvety colored falls. 
Form and substance are good and it has fine branching 
habits. $1.50 
CROWN PRINCE (Kleinsorge 1932) M. 36". 
Burnished orange standards and velvety red-brown falls 
makes this an unusually rich iris. Not always a thrifty 
grower. 35c 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass 1935) EM. 40". 
A great white and one of the tallest, being superb for 
background plantings where a tall white is needed. Com¬ 
bined with clumps of fresh blues, pinks, creamy yellows, 
and regal violets of varying height, and placed against 
green shrubbery, this stately, floriferous white with its im¬ 
maculately chaste blooms, white as sculptured snow, carved 
to a most perfect oval symmetry, presents a picture of 
ineffable purity unrivalled in the floral world. This is an 
iris that will eventually be in every collection. Exception¬ 
ally vigorous and extremely hardy. (Pictured on page 18.) 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
CYRUS THE GREAT (Kirkland 1934) EM. 38". 
We have often thought of making a corner in our garden 
for flaring types alone. Cyrus the Great alone of the violets 
possesses this jaunty, regal style. It is a large iris, rich and 
velvety, and carried well aloft on fine well-branched stems. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
DAUNTLESS (Connell 1929) M. 40". 
This red self has stood the test of time. Each year in 
spite of the new sorts it holds its place as one of the leaders 
in its color section. It has velvety falls, good color, and is 
a fine performer. We recommend it and its bicolor sister- 
type, Indian Chief, as standbys for any fine collection.
