CARVED IVORY (Essig '37) As ivory mellowed with age, thus ap¬ 
pears this creamy thick petalled flower carved with greatest pre¬ 
cision out of exceedingly firm pebbled material. 36". $1.50 
CASQUE D'OR (J. Sass '37) The tone of this variegata reaches a 
new depth in the velvety black maroon falls margined with a narrow 
band of the rich old gold of the standards. Excellent low, wide 
branching. 36". H.M. '37. $7.50 
CASTALIA (Wmsn. '33) Lovely large light blue self. 35* 
CORALIE (Ayres '32) A Dykes Medal winner — a brilliant play of 
soft rose above and warmer, deeper rose tones below. 36". 75* 
CORONATION (Moore '27) Deep rich gold. 36". 25* 
CORTEZ (Nes. '34) Since we met this gallant explorer five years 
ago, our praise has not at all abated. These five years have proved 
the strength of this medium to large sized hero, and the popularity 
of his dapper colors, — honey yellow on top edged with rose and 
dark crimson purple falls widely flaring. 38". H.M. '38. $5.00 
CHAMITA (Wmsn. '34) Floriferous, early, brownish rose toned iris 
overlaid with gold —- charming in semi-shade. 30". 50* 
CHARLOTTE MILLET (Cay. '37) In our opinion one of the best 
from France — excellent full petals, semi-flaring — a delicate red¬ 
dish lilac self. $15.00 
CHEERIO (Ayres '34) Three cheers for the six years of popularity 
of this stunning tall red bicolor — deep wine below, slightly rosier 
above — rich in quality and quantity of tone. 40". A.M. '38. 60* 
CHIEF SIDAR (Gage '38) If Dauntless and Red Radiance need a 
companion piece in your garden, try this mighty Chieftain of a 
somewhat rosier hue. 40". $2.00 
CHINA MAID (Mill. '36) Much discussed of late — the consensus 
of opinion being that it is one of the loveliest pinks yet. The hints of 
copper on the soft lilac pink petals give vivacity and charm to this 
smooth fashioned beauty. 40". A.M. '39. $2.25 
CHOSEN (White '37) Chosen? Yes, "one of the few" lighter yellows 
worthy of high praise. A clear large yellow, with graceful full falls 
and nicely shaped firm standards. 44". A.M. '39. $10.00 
CHRISTABEL (Lap. '36) As beautiful as a July Sunrise when seen 
in the early morn, is this iris splashed with watery dew — thus we 
first saw this rich copper red iris all suffused with tan — the velvet 
falls gleamed in a satiny sheen and the lighter standards fairly 
sparkled. Excellent in branching and performance. 40". $2.75 
CINCINNATI (Ayres '36) In Cincinnati, Venus de Milo becomes 
larger and taller, having smooth warm white flowers. 40". 75* 
CINNABAR (Wmsn. '28) Tall rich red purple. 15* 
COURS-LA-REINE (Cay. '38) Dim gold standards with clear lav¬ 
ender flaring falls edged gold. The beautifully shaped 
flowers are strikingly colored. Late. 40". $10.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nic. '34) Reddish purple petals distinguished 
with metallic lustre markings at the haft. A tremendous innovation, 
those lustrous patches; upon introduction it became the Judges 
"Flower of Babel" so much was it discussed. 38". H.M. '36. 50* 
CRIMSON PETAL (Nor. '38) More violet than crimson. $1.00 
CRIMSON SUN (Gage-Lap. '39) Yep, crimson all over and rich 
too. The flaring falls are edged a lighter tone. The broad 
large flowers have heavy substance and yet they are stoutly 
held on strong stems. 34". 
$3.50 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nic. '39) Time and tide wait not, nor should you 
wait to gratify your garden with a floriferous new red of large size 
and lasting substance. The widely flaring and velvety falls are a 
deeper red than the arched and domed standards. 42". $12.00 
CROWN JEWEL (Nic. '34) Glittering golden orange set in brown 
groundwork. If your garden needs a touch of regal glitter, this is 
the answer. 34". 35* 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass '35) ”My delight and thy delight 
Walking like two angels white 
In the gardens of the night" 
make us think of two blooms of Crystal Beauty swaying side by side. 
In our profoundest dreams we dared not imagine a white so pure, 
so graceful, so cool. The large flowers have broad, straight hanging 
falls with a pale yellow beard. Fine substance. 40". H.M. '36. 50* 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass '37) A super variegata, — advanced 
in clear cut colors, honey yellow standards and glowing burnished 
red falls trimmed with a neat honey yellow edging, — advanced in 
graceful ruffling of the arched standards and wide flaring falls. 
Late. 42". A.M. '39. $6.00 
CLARA NOYES (H. Sass '30) Mingled peach and apricot shades in 
a ruffled delight. 30". A.M. '32. 25* 
CLARIBEL (J. Sass '36) We declare this belle a hardy Los 
Angeles. 75* 
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 are 
carried on stems, low and widely branched. $2.25 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk. '34) The first break into the copper field, 
and a "break" for all of us, this coppery bloom with a tan undertone 
shimmering with a golden flush. 36". Dykes Medal '38. $1.75 
COPPER PIECE (Kell. '36) Here is variety which will spice your 
garden. The cupped standards are ruby red; the falls, straight hang¬ 
ing as befits the carriage and shape of the flower, are copper red 
burnished lilac in the center with an epaulette of burnished copper 
on the haft which gives the special distinction to this flower of a 
most unique coloring. 34". H.M. '36. $3.00 
CYRUS THE GREAT (Kirk. '34) The greatest of the kings of 
western Asia; the greatest of the low-priced dark blue-purples. A 
tremendous blue-purple self with wide full petals, semi-flaring falls 
and stout, very tall stalks, standing in a forest of broad bladed foli¬ 
age. Every stalk shows branching perfected. 44". H.M. '36. 35* 
DAMARINE (Gage '39) Large, wide, and handsome — this dark 
red self with flaring falls of splendid substance and velvety 
texture. 36". $3.50 
’ 1 /

Dark Horse of deep purple and red colors covered with a black vel¬ 
vety robe — at 35 cents. 26". 35* 
DARK KNIGHT (Salb. '34) The best of its color class, changing 
from a deep rich brilliant red under the shining sun to a deep al¬ 
most velvety black towards evening. The colossal well formed blooms 
have excellent substance. Late. 45". H.M. '36. 50* 
DAUNTLESS (Conn. '27) The famous red iris. 40". 25* 
DEEP VELVET (Salb. '39) The smoothest, deepest, richest, and 
liveliest in the blue black class with "a red-violet cast, that 
gives it both regalness and great vibrancy." Perfect specifi- 
y ^ cations all over and it's large. 38". $15.00
