fall Bearded Iris 
Copper Lustre —36 in. WIN¬ 
NER OF THE DYKES ME¬ 
MORIAL MEDAL FOR 
1938. I believe I have the 
largest and finest stork of this 
variety in America. IT IS 
UNDOUBTEDLY THE 
OUTSTANDING IRIS OF 
THE CENTURY. Color irri- 
descent copper, like a new 
penny. Large flowers of pleas¬ 
ing form and perfect in every 
way. The color illustration on 
Page 8 gives but a faint idea 
of its great beauty. 2.00 
Coralie— 38 in. WINNER OF 
DYKES MEMORIAL ME¬ 
DAL, highest international 
honors. A unique and dis¬ 
tinctive raspberry-red color 
and a flower of perfect form 
and substance.35 
Coronation— 40 in. A fine, large, rich, 
deep golden yellow. One of the best 
in this class for garden effect. See 
color illustration Page 15.20 
Cosette— 26 in. VERY EARLY. 
HONORABLE MENTION 
AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. A 
1936 introduction and the best of the 
very early white Irises. Large flowers 
of perfect form, snowy whiteness, and 
a prodigious bloomer. A fine large 
stock permits an extremely low price. 
.20 
Creole Belle— 36 in. VERY FRAG¬ 
RANT. A handsome new rich and 
distinct Bishop’s Purple, with a lus¬ 
trous glowing satiny finish.50 
Crown Jewel —34 in. An improvement 
on Clara Noyes, being of the same 
color and marking, but the flower is 
larger and taller and somewhat more 
colorful. One of the finer new intro¬ 
ductions, on which a fine stock per¬ 
mits a very low price.25 
Crown Prince —40 in. A superb new 
variety, with huge flowers on tall well 
branched stems. S—solid deep rich 
orange; F—solid velvety brown red. 
One of the best of this type.20 
Crystal Beauty —50 in. VERY EAR¬ 
LY AND VERY TALL. A gorgeous 
new clear pure snow white of huge 
size on stalks that are shoulder high, 
being the tallest and one of the most 
outstanding of all white Irises. The 
flowers are of perfect shape and very 
freely produced.20 
Depute Nomblot—25c—DYKES MEDAL WINNER 
Considered by some the finest Iris in the world 
It is richer and more colorful than the illustration. See Page 10. 
Cupavo— 42 in. VERY FRAGRANT. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL 
BY THE ENGLISH IRIS SOCIETY. ALSO ONE OF THE DYKES 
GROUP WHICH WON THE RUNCIMAN CHALLENGE CUP. 
ONE OF THE GIANT FLOWERED CLASS, being one of the largest 
Iris grown. A superb red-toned bi-color.25 
Cydalise —38 in. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT BY THE 
ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE. A REAL 
YELLOW “PLICATA” and a most outstanding novelty. The yellow 
ground is evenly etched around the edges with a button-hole stitching 
of chocolate-brown. There are other colors intermingled, hard to describe, 
but it reminds me of a beautiful piece of stained glass.20 
Cyrus the Great— 42 in. VERY EARLY. THE BEST EARLY TALL 
DARK BLUE. Very large, perfectly formed, deep blue toned flowers, 
with a touch of violet. Plant with Ammon, Desert Gold, Cosette, Car- 
nelian, and Ambera for an early flowering group.20 
Daffodil —42 in. LATE. Tall yellows are quite important in the Iris garden, 
and this is one of the best. The color is clear daffodil yellow and the 
flowers are large and of good substance and produced in great abundance 
on well branched stems. Being late flowering it prolongs the Iris season. 
Dariel —30 in. LATE. I spent several years propagating and accumulating 
enough of this variety so that I could offer it at an attractive price for 
such a fine variety. It is an exceptionally free flowering, intense deep 
rich blue, and one of the best of this color. Stock of it is still scarce. .20 
Dark Knight —48 in. A tall outstanding variety that always attracts 
instant attention. The deepest, richest, tallest, mahogany red, being 
fully as dark as Black Wings, but in a different color tone, with a bronze 
beard in harmony with the balance of the flower. Very large flowers of 
perfect form and heavy substance, nicely placed on four foot stalks. .50 
Dauntless— 40 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. One of 
the finest and purest red toned Irises. A prodigious bloomer and 
a magnificent Iris in every way. Sold for $35.00 for a single 
plant just a few years ago. See color illustration on Page 6. .25 
REGARDING A SHIPMENT TO AUSTRALIA 
“‘I thought you would be interested to learn that the Iris plants 
bought from and packed by you, and forwarded by the Steamship 
Monterey by way of San Francisco to Melbourne, Australia, reached 
their destination in perfectly good condition and are now planted." 
As Australia is just the opposite side of the world from the 
United States, it will be noticed that Iris can be shipped safely 
any distance.
