COGETITE (C. G. White) 
This rosy-purple flower covered with minute veinings has a finish 
and elegance inherited from its oncocyclus parents in perhaps a larger 
degree than any other of the pogo-cyclus hybrids. The upper part 
of the falls is tinted golden-brown and there is a very dark purple 
patch at the end of the broad tapering yellow beard. The flowers 
are of medium size on a 24-inch stem. Parentage is as follows: 
(Charon x Susiana) x Yellow M. Early. 715c; 3 for $2.00 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland) 
The most unusual blending of copper, gold, pinkish-tan and 
lavender. This iris was heralded as a new ‘‘break’’ in breeding and 
created a sensation when introduced seven years ago. Due to the 
unprecedented publicity Copper Lustre has received, stock is still 
rather scarce. 3 feet. The 1938 Dykes Medal winner. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
CORALIE (Ayres) 
A beautiful blend of pink and red that approaches a soft raspberry 
effect. The bright golden beard adds a pleasing note of color to 
this charming iris. Flowers of good size on stems of medium height. 
Winner of the Dykes Gold Medal for 1933. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY VW. Sass) 
A hardy white of excellent merit that we can recommend for the 
more rugged climates. A graceful cool white with flowers of good 
size on 3%-foot stems. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DARK KNIGHT (Salbach) 
A bold iris with flowers of deep wine red, 
blended with brown mahogany on the falls. The 
large blooms on tall stems make a pleasing deep 
color note in the garden. A late bloomer. 31% feet. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
DAUNTLESS (Connell) 
Of proven qualities and considered one of the 
finest reds ever introduced. Flowers of fine form and 
good substance. Dauntless was awarded the Dykes 
medal for the finest iris produced in 1929. 3% feet. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
DAY’S FAREWELL (Milliken) 
A seedling of the beautiful China Maid, this iris 
carries the fine qualities of its illustrious parent into 
a distinctly different color range. The standards are 
very large and are a uniform rose-lavender. The 
long, hanging falls are a deeper rose-lavender than 
the standards and are overlaid at the center with 
brown, with a distinct pale margin at the edge. 
Because of the unusually large size of the flowers 
and the vigorous growth of the plants, Day's Fare- 
well soon produces a mass of beautiful bloom, 
making it an excellent landscape iris. A midseason 
bloomer. Height 3% to 4 feet. $7.50 
DESIRABLE 
A striking flower of glistening white, heavily 
marked with bright purple. The contrast is very 
pronounced, making this iris a most outstanding 
garden variety. Fine foliage, a strong grower, and 
a free bloomer. 31% feet. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
DOG ROSE (Insole) 
Without doubt this is one of the most desirable 
of the pink toned irises. The color is exceptionally 
clean and strong and the flower is glorified by a 
deep gold beard. Dog Rose has come to us from 
England, where it won a silver medal. We believe 
we are fortunate in having a fine stock of this variety 
but do not anticipate that it will last through the 
entire season. 3% feet.

DRUID (Sturtevant) 
Although not widely known, this iris is quite a favorite in our 
garden. The large flowers are a mixture of maroon, old gold and 
brown, with a golden haft and beard; the combination giving a 
decided bronze effect. Viewed with the sunlight coming through 
the falls, Druid has a decided charm. 3% feet. 25c; 3 for 50c 
EARLY MASS (C. G. White) 
A tall light blue iris that has lost nothing of grace and charm by 
attaining height and size. It stands fifty inches tall with flowers in 
proportion on perfectly spaced branches. A leading iris authority 
in her 1935 notes wrote as follows: ‘| cannot imagine any color 
lovelier than this, it is so smooth and pure. The standards are slightly 
bluer in tone than the falls. The soft, broad, tapering beard is tipped 
with warm yellow.’ In 1936 her notes say: “Must note again the 
grace and dainty poise of this beautiful flower—also its exceptional 
blue tone—one stem is 54 inches tall.’ 
From Tennessee comes the remark: “The clearest tone of blue | 
have seen in an iris; fine in all respects. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
EASTER MORN Essig) 
This iris has everything the name suggests. The flowers are a pure 
virgin white with a sparkle and sheen that reminds one of a lovely 
satin wedding dress. The glowing yellow center gives a warmth of 
beauty that is beyond description. The falls are stiff, wide flaring, and 
of unusual substance. Foliage is exceptionally large and vigorous, and 
in California is green and attractive the year around. A clump of 
Easter Morn in full bloom is truly a sight to behold. Height 4 feet.
