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 or twelve outstanding 
varieties in my exhibition gardens for the past few seasons. It is a mammoth 
red-toned bi-color, with perfectly formed flowers measuring up to seven inches 
from tip to tip. It is greatly underpriced for so fine an Iris.20 
Castor— 36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND. 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 fine percale; in the falls the stippling is heavier towards the border, 
toiling lighter towards the centre of the petals.20 
Cheerio— 40 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY 1938, AND BY THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND, 1939. 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.75 
China Lantern— 40 in. A new Iris in an entirely new color tone, with metallic 
old-gold standards and brilliant Bordeaux Red Falls. The flowers are of huge 
size, fine form, and attractive colors.25 
China Maid— 40 in. VERY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT 
BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY 1939. A new pink toned Iris and in 
my judgment the largest and best of all pinks, being twice as large as others, 
with an unsurpassed perfection of form and finish and a “sparkle” as though 
studded with tiny gems. Stock very scarce. 3.50 
Cimmaron —36 in. An unusually fine new red-toned variety with brilliant massive 
flowers. S—magenta; F—dahlia carmine.15 
Cinnabar— 42 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE AMERICAN 
IRIS SOCIETY. A uniform deep, rich, velvety, dark red, that is hard to beat 
and has every good quality. Makes a marvelous garden mass.15 
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 flower. 
It is a rich blend of “Talisman Rose” colors and was one of the greatest attrac¬ 
tions 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 gives but a faint idea of its great beauty.20 
Claribel —45 in. A new 1936 introduction. A giant white “Plicata,” the white 
erect standards being beautifully etched around the border with a feather- 
stitching of soft blue. The falls are straight hanging and therefore give 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 and represent a distinct improve¬ 
ment in this type. 1.50 
Claridad— 30 in. THIS IS ONE OF THE PUREST BLUE-TONED IRISES I 
HAVE EVER SEEN and makes a magnificent garden effect.15 
Columbine— 42 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND. A masterpiece in clear dazzling white, or large size, perfect 
form and finish on tall erect well branched stems.20 
Constance Meyer— 40 in. AWARDED TWO SILVER MEDALS IN ENG¬ 
LAND, where it originated and where they think it is the best pink toned Iris 
originated to date. While I believe I have the only stock of this in America, it 
propagated so well this past season that I am now able to offer it an at unusually 
modest price.20 
FROM KNOXVILLE, TENN. 
“The Iris I purchased from you are now in bloom and 
they exceed anything in beauty that I have ever beheld. 
There were 50 of them and they were all “Jewells ” of the 
highest order. I have several hundred Iris, but they do look 
so commonplace after I have seen this collection .”
