The World’s Finest Tall Bearded Iris 
Burning Bronze—40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY. An imposing flower of large size in brilliant red tones. 
S-light red; F-deep coppery red. 1.50 
Byzantium—36 in. An improvement on Jean Cayeux, with larger 
flowers; identical in color, excepting that there is a slight pen¬ 
ciling of electric blue at the tip of the beard and the color of 
the entire flower is just a trifle deeper. A tan-brown effect of 
perfect form and in my opinion the best of this color. 2.00 
Cadetou—48 in. CERTIFICATE OF MERIT NATIONAL HORTI¬ 
CULTURAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE. S—pure old-gold; F—flaring, 
very velvety, intense deep mahogany with a bronze border in 
striking contrast. A flower of good size, perfect form and 
heavy substance . 10.00 
California Cold—36 in. I consider this the finest deep yellow Iris 
introduced to date and I think this is the consensus of opinion 
of others. It is simply superb, having a brilliance and purity of 
color and perfection of form and finish not approached by any 
other deep yellow Iris I have seen. The flowers are large and 
very freely produced. 2.00 
Camelliard—48 in. LATE. Huge, magnificent flowers of soft yel¬ 
low, overlaid wine. Sold a few years ago at $15.00 for a single 
plant . 15 
Candlelight—40 in. FRAGRANT. A magnificent show Iris. A lovely 
blend of soft pastel tints, with a yellow glow in the centre, giving 
the effect of light coming from within; hence the name.10 
Cantabile—42 in. There are comparatively few white bi-colors, and 
Cantabile is one of the best of this very fine but limited group. 
The standards are snow-white and the falls rich amethyst 
violet .20 
Carfax—42 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND. I have withheld this variety from sale for sev¬ 
eral years in order to have a sufficient stock of it to offer it at 
an attractive price. The color is rich red-purple and the falls 
are wonderfully rich and velvety. The flowers are large and of 
perfect form and substance. The stalks are so much branched 
that one stalk, with six to eight branches, creates a candelabra¬ 
like effect, with a correspondingly large number of flowers out 
together .35 
Carnelian—48 in. VERY EARLY. This is by far the finest of the 
very early flowering Tall Bearded Iris. It has been one of the 
ten outstanding varieties in my exhibition gardens for the past 
three seasons. It is a mammoth red-toned bi-color, with per¬ 
fectly formed flowers measuring seven inches from tip to tip. 
It is greatly underpriced for so fine an Iris.35 
Castor—36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND, where this variety originated. The white ground 
is almost completely covered with fine pin dots of deep violet. 
In the standards the stippling is uniform throughout, like a piece 
of printed percale. In the falls the stippling is heavier towards 
the border and gradually tones lighter towards the centre of the 
petals. A most unusual “Plicata”.25 
Chamita—32 in. A distinct new brown-toned Iris, overlaid gold. 
Its unusual color should make it valuable for breeding. 1.50 
Charlotte Millet—36 in. This new French introduction was given 
a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT AND A SPECIAL PRIZE OF THE IRIS 
COMMISSION OF FRANCE FOR THREE BEST NEW IRISES OF 
1936. The color is new, rich and striking, being of reddish-lilac, 
overlaid analine red. Being grown in my gardens at Bayside 
under U. S. Government permit and subject to release this year 
not over 5 plants can be sold.15.00 
Cheerio—40 in. AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY 
1938. Ranks with junaluska for first honors as the most brilliant 
Iris, the falls being a rich, glowing, satiny, ruby-red, with a vivid 
orange beard; the standards are soft rose, flushed soft yellow. 
Perfect in every way and a prodigious bloomer. 2.00 
China Boy—36 in. Huge flowers in the deep rich colors of a 
Persian rug, many colors being blended together in delightful 
harmony, the general color tone being dark deep bronze red. 3.50 
China Maid—40 in. VERY FRAGRANT. The largest and best of 
all pinks, being twice as large as Eros, which it somewhat re¬ 
sembles in color; with an unsurpassed perfection of form and 
finish and a “sparkle” as though studded with tiny gems. 7.50 
Chloris—42 in. A 1937 introduction in a very lovely blend of soft 
lavender and soft yellow, with a golden halo at the throat and 
a vivid orange beard in striking contrast. The standards are 
beautifully ruffled and the flower is perfect in every way.... 6.00 
Chosen—50 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY, 1938. Chosen by all who saw it in bloom as the best 
new yellow, being larger and taller than Lady Paramount and of 
a deeper yellow tone. The color is clear and pure, without 
mark or blemish and the flowers are of heavy wax-like sub¬ 
stance .20.00 
Christobel—40 in. AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
1938. A new brilliant red-tone, with a lustrous metallic sheen 
to the flaring falls. A flower of fine form and unusual rich¬ 
ness .10.00 
Cinnabar—42 in. AWARDED THE SILVER MEDAL OF THE AMERI¬ 
CAN IRIS SOCIETY. A uniform deep, rich, velvety, dark red, that 
has every good quality.20 
Clara Noyes —36 in. EARLY. This is one of the most outstanding 
of the newer Irises and is now offered at a very modest price for 
such a beautiful Iris. It is a rich blend of “Talisman Rose” Colors 
and was one of the greatest attractions of my exhibit which won 
the Grand Prize at Rockefeller Centre in 1936. No garden should 
be without this charming Iris, now that it can be had at such a 
low price. The illustration below gives but a faint idea of its 
great beauty .20 
Claribel —45 in. Looks like, and probably is, a sister seedling of 
Maid of Astalot, which it resembles in all good qualities, but 
shows more of the “Plicata” marking. The white erect stand-* 
ards are beautifully etched around the border with a feather- 
stitching of soft blue. The falls are straight hanging for perfect 
garden effect with heavy blue veining at the throat and soft 
blue penciling on the edges. Bright blue styles add tremendously 
to the beauty of the flower. The flowers are of huge size and 
perfect form . 5.00 
Claude Areau— 36 in. RECEIVED AN AWARD OF MERIT FROM 
THE FRENCH NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The color 
is most unusual and charming. S—GREEN GOLD; F—BORDEAU 
WINE RED, margined the green-gold color of the standards. Can 
you imagine anything more attractive?.20 
Columbine —42 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS 
SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. A clear, dazzling white, of perfect form 
and finish, on tall erect, well branched stems.25 
Constance Meyer— 40 in. AWARDED TWO SILVER MEDALS IN 
ENGLAND, where it originated, and where they think it is the 
best pink Iris originated to date. While I believe I have the only 
stock of this in America. I have decided to offer it at a very 
modest price . 1.00 
Copper Lustre— WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL MEDAL 
FOR 1938. I believe I have the largest and finest stock of 
this variety in America. UNDOUBTEDLY THE OUTSTANDING 
NEW IRIS OF THE CENTURY. Color iridescent copper, like 
a new penny. Large flowers of pleasing form and perfect in 
every way. The color illustration on page 10 gives a faint 
idea of its great beauty. 4.00 
Coralie —38 in. WINNER OF DYKES MEMORIAL MEDAL, high¬ 
est international honors. A unique and distinctive raspberry- 
red color and a flower of perfect form and substance.... 1.50 
Coronation —40 in. A fine, large, rich, deep golden-yellow. One 
of the very best in this class.10
