AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
7 
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 as a standby for any 
fine collection. 25c; 3 for 50c CITY OF LINCOLN 
DEPUTE NOM BLOT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 48". 
One of the milestones in the development of the modern 
iris — a robust giant; tall, full-petaled, courtly. Standards 
are a rosy purple shot with an infusion of bronze; the 
bright-bearded falls are a rich claret-crimson. In every 
way a great iris. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DESERET (Thorup 1936) M. 40". 
A novelty variegata of luxurious coloring. Standards 
clear rich yellow; falls the same color overbrushed or 
“embossed” a velvety, bricky red. 35c; 3 for 75c 
DESERT GOLD (Kirkland 1929) E. 32". 
A large bright yellow of rounded form, valuable for fore¬ 
ground plantings. 25c 
DESTINY (Burgess 1934) M. 38". 
This Antipodean origination which has made quite a 
name for itself in England, is a rich, sombre-toned iris with 
exceedingly velvety, broad falls of black plum-purple color¬ 
ing, deep purple standards, and a rich gold beard. Destiny 
is especially effective in the garden when planted with 
Beowulf, a complimentary color in maroon. $1.00 
DIRECTEDR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) M. 42". 
Each year we look forward to the blooming of this mag¬ 
nificent bronze-purple which for size, beauty, precision of 
form, branching and height represents almost the standard 
of perfection among present-day irises. Some much heralded 
introductions derive a measure of extra publicity from the 
pro and con discussion which they evoke, but this 
masterpiece from Mons. Cayeux took its position among 
the iris great practically without any argument. If 
Directeur Pinelle may be said to have any faults, it is 
simply that it is such a heavy bloomer that it does not 
leave a large share of salable rhizomes for the iris 
dealer; but floriferousness is by no means a fault with 
the private gardener. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
DOG ROSE (Insole 1930) ML. 44". 
A lovely pink iris with oval shaped blooms of a cool, 
clear tone. A tall, free-blooming sort that is fine for land¬ 
scape work. Delicate and refined. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson 1929) ML. 36". 
A large amoena with standards of white blending to 
chicory blue and rich pansy-purple falls. A clean-cut iris 
of refreshing coloring. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) L. 38". 
An iris of precise styling. We admire its perfection of 
form and consider it one of the finer examples of good form 
in an iris. Coupled with this splendid feature we have a 
glorious tone of rich, glossy bishop’s violet. One of the 
few iris colored in such a manner, it has an intensification 
of color along the hafts like epaulets. The flower reminds 
one of a much richer, more glossy Creole Belle. Good size, 
stem and plant habits resembling Mrs. J. L. Gibson, a 
thoroughly splendid iris in every respect. $15.00
