AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 11 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Lapham 1932) ML. 34". 
A large-flowered orchid-pink with soft lemon-yellow 
beard. Very attractive. 35c 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) ML. 34". 
The new “black” iris; practically a self. The standards 
are deepest black-purple and the sheen of the heavy falls 
is so lustrous that a large part of their area appears literally 
black, reminding one of the color of black pansies which 
are also literally black save for a blending of deepest purple 
near the edges and the center. (Pictured on page 24 ) 
$15.00 
EVELYN BENSON (Murrell 1931) M. 32". 
Deep rose, approaching carmine, with a very smooth, 
enameled finish. A color with fine carrying-power, making 
this variety excellent for landscaping. Try it with creams, 
light blues, and deep violets. 25c; 3 for 50c 
EVOLUTION (Cayeux 1929) M. 36". 
One of the finest blends. The underlying tone of bur¬ 
nished copper glows throughout the center of the flower, 
dominates the well-arched standards, but in the falls pales 
and blends into a rich electric blue. A very tall iris of un¬ 
usual vigor, carrying especially fine foliage throughout the 
season. In the clump Evolution is a perfect mass of bloom. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) ML. 40". 
A very large light-blue iris (pictured on page 14). consid¬ 
ered by many who have seen it to be the most beautiful 
in its color class. The light blue color which is of great 
purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a “pxjwder 
blue” or French blue effect. This very serene iris of opulent 
oval form would be wonderful in the garden picture com¬ 
bined with clumps of Fiesta — a warm golden-copper of 
similar form but not quite so large. Both carry subtle 
overtones of color while yet being seifs — the most reposeful 
form of color beauty. The contrast would be warm and 
novel, like an odd coppery sunset against the dwindling 
azure. $6.00 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge 1936) M. 40". 
Subdued glowing tones of salmon and golden-sand with 
intensified high lights of flushed coral. The center has an 
incandescent-like glow of soft yellow. A self with ruffled 
standards and a misty blue blaze on the falls near the 
beard. $6.50 
FAVOR I (Cayeux 1934) M. 30". 
A real true purple, an improvement on the popular 
Magenta, being larger, richer and perhaps a trifle darker. 
Broad petals and a delightful fluting add to the beauty of 
this distinctive new self-color. (Pictured on page 17.) 
$ 1.00 
FIESTA (White 1936) ML. 34". 
A coppery-apricot iris of uniform coloring and smoothest 
satiny sheen. The fine oval blooms are borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. A very lovely iris. $6.00 
FRANK ADAMS (Lapham 1937) M. 48". 
This flamboyant iris carries its blooms on about as ideally 
spaced and proportioned branches as could be desired. The 
fine form reminds one of the all around excellence of Depute 
Nomblot. It is a rosy fawn bicolor with standards fawn-tan 
blended with pink and falls rose with a tantalizing tan 
undercast giving unusual warmth and vibrancy to its colors. 
$7.50 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) ML. 38". 
One of the aristocrats of the iris world; a large lilac-rose 
bicolor of classic flaring form and splendid texture 
25c; 3 for 50c
