(Continued) 
The World’s Finest Tall Bearded Iris 
Others of similar 
color are 
Gilead—25c 
Sea Dawn—20c 
Byzantium—75c 
Duquesne —44 in. This is a real gem, with manganese-violet standards 
and falls of rich, velvety crimson violet. But the great attraction of this 
variety is that the back of the falls are milk-white, making a most un¬ 
usual and beautiful contrast.20 
Easter Morn— 48 in. EARLY. VERY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN 
AWARD OF MERIT BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. Very 
large flowers of pure sparkling white, with a satiny sheen and a glowing 
yellow centre. Full flaring falls and a flower of perfect form and good 
substance that sets a new high standard for white Irises. Different in 
form from Sitka and Crystal Beauty and Gudrun and would rank with 
them for first honors among the whites. See illustration Page 8. . . .25 
Eclador— 40 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS, a dis¬ 
tinction which it richly deserves. It is a large, lustrous, bright 
canary yellow self, with beautifully ruffled standards. It is unlike 
any other yellow and classes as one of the best. The 1937 sym¬ 
posium of the American Iris Society gives it the very high rating 
of 90, with some of the judges rating it as high as 95. A French 
introduction, which Cayeux, the introducer considers the finest 
large yellow Iris created to date.50 
Eclat —36 in. FRAGRANT. A delightful Iris in the color of a luscious 
ripe apricot, no other Iris having quite this color. Well formed flowers 
of apricot with a pink cheek, making a charming and most unusual 
color mass...20 
Edgewood —45 in. Huge flowers of fine form in a medium pink tone, with 
just the right shape for best effect as a garden mass.15 
Eilah— 40 in. A NEW VARIETY GIVEN HONORABLE MENTION 
BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY 1937. A deep yellow self of 
huge size, fine form, heavy substance and uniform color throughout. 
One of the best of the new yellows.50 
El Capitan— 40 in. EARLY. FRAGRANT. ONE OF THE IRIS GIANTS, 
THE FLOWERS BEING OF MAMMOTH SIZE comparing with the 
giant Nene. A handsome manganese violet coloring, medium blue in 
effect. Should be in every garden at the present low price. Sold recently 
at $10.00 a plant, but a large stock of extra fine rhizomes permits a 
bargain price on this beauty.20

“ You may be interested to know that I won First Prize on all 
of the Iris at our Flower Show. They all came from you.”

do it justice....25 
Desert Dawn —40 in. An amazingly/ beautiful blend of the most unusual 
soft pastel colors, hard to describe- The. erect silky standards are of soft 
gold, tipped soft lavender. The falls are an unusual tone of lavender, 
with gold veining at the throat.20

orange beard in striking contrast. See color illustration, Page 11. . .20 
Dominion —32 in. This variety caused more of a sensation than any other 
Iris that was ever introduced, because it created a new type, with petals 
like fine plush. It was the forerunner of an entirely new race of richly 
colored, velvety textured Iris. S—Dauphins blue; F—deep, rich, velvety 
indigo purple, with a lighter border.15
