DARK KNIGHT (Salbach 1934). This 
magnificent mahogany red iris is the 
richest we have seen in its color class, 
and is a fine bold grower with large, 
well formed blooms. 
The color impression created by this 
majestic iris varies with the light—for 
at times it appears as inky black as 
Dr. Kirkland’s Black Wings, yet from 
other angles it offers a rich ruby glow, 
the like of which we have found in no 
other iris. 
A tall, noble flower that is a stand¬ 
out, in any company. Perfectly formed 
blooms and the deep rich color carry 
clear across the garden. Unusually 
fine smooth substance and finish. Re¬ 
tains its outstanding color qualities 
under light. H. M., A. I. S., 1986. Late. 
45".50c; 3 for $1.25; 
6 for $2.00; 12 for $3.50 
DAUNTLESS. Color a velvety rose red. 
Very luminous and still one of the best 
in its color class. Has been one of 
our best-sellers. Does well everywhere 
and valuable for breeding. A parent 
to Copper Piece, Miss California, and 
Red Radiance. 
One of the few American iris that 
have received the Dykes Medal Award. 
Mid-season. 40".25c; 3 for 50c 
DEEP VELVET. See page 4. 
DEPUTE NOMBLOT. This magnificent 
iris is an imposing giant of greatest 
vigor, strong foliage, with a stout firm 
spike of many blooms. Well branched. 
Blooms enormous, with wide spreading 
falls. Color light glowing rosy bronze. 
French Dykes Medal, 1930, and A. M., 
A. 1. S., 1936. Late. 36"..25c; 3 for 50c 
“Brunhilde is an unusually impressive, 
well-branched large bluish-violet self. 
The standards are particularly luscious in 
that they are very silky in appearance.”

DESERT GOLD. A fine yellow with 
smooth finish and perfect form, and 
most pleasing luminous coloring. A 
light yellow deepening toward the 
center of the flower. Good size, well 
branched, and of unusual substance. 
Comes into bloom just as the inter¬ 
mediates, such as Gaynelle, Crysoro, 
Soledad, etc., are fading, bridging a 
gap before the fine new Mitchell yel¬ 
lows reach their zenith of bloom. Fine 
from every standpoint, being one of 
the best “buys” in yellow iris. A par¬ 
ent of Miss California, it is also ex¬ 
cellent for breeding. A. M., A. 1. S., 
1932. Early. 28".35c; 3 for 85c 
DOGROSE. A fine lavender pink iris 
• that is a shade deeper than Pink Satin, 
and distinct from the other iris in this 
color shading. Very tall, and striking 
in a clump. A prolific bloomer with 
many flowers to each stem. Mid¬ 
season. 40".35c; 3 for 85c 
ECLADOR (Cayeux). A splendid light 
lemon yellow that owes much of its 
distinction to its fine, bold, rounded 
flower form, and to its clarity of color.

Brunhilde — “An iris that you won’t 
forget, another of the four really great 
1936 iris.”

EASTER MORN. A giant white, easily 
one of the finest inexpensive whites, 
even though it needs special protection 
where winters are severe. Different 
from Purissima in that it has flaring 
falls, and is a warm white, with yellow 
center. Immense blooms on tall, well 
branched stalks. Absolutely distinct. 
A. M., A. 1. S., 1933. Mid-season. 48".

E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937). An 
iris that earns the distinction of being 
a definite color break, and a most wel¬ 
come one, too. The plant growth is 
tall, the form of flower is good, and 
the color, very rich, resembles soft 
coppery-red silk, or brocade. In addi¬ 
tion to its splendid color, this flower 
is blessed with an unusually lustrous, 
silky texture. Well branched. All fac¬ 
tors considered, E. B. Williamson ranks 
as a real standout. One of the finest 
introductions of 1937. Fragrant. Mid¬ 
season. 86".—-$7.50 
EL CAPITAN. One of the largest iris 
grown, supreme in its color class, 
graceful and well proportioned, this 
magnificent giant is an iris of dignity 
and grandeur. Striking for garden ef¬ 
fect, and each of the candelabrum type 
stalks carries a large number of the 
immense blooms, giving it signal value 
as a cut flower. No garden should be 
without this most outstanding long- 
blooming, light violet blue iris. H. M., 
A. 1. S., 1929. Early. Mid-season. 38". 
35c; 3 for 85c; 12 for $3.00 
ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass 1939). This 
beautiful new iris has taken the iris 
critics by storm. It is a complete new 
“break” in yellows, coming in an en¬ 
tirely new shade. Sometimes called 
lemon yellow, sometimes sulphur yel¬ 
low. Produces a very bright spot in 
the garden. Blooms well above the 
foliage. Fine bold form, and good all 
around habit. Stock limited. Mid¬ 
season. 28".$20.00
