EASTER MORN 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls). This is a dis- 
tinctive iris of deep bishop’s violet (blue 
black) with deep brownish purple band 
from half way up the falls to the haft. The 
blooms are of good size on well-branched 
stems. Standards are domed, falls semi- 
flaring, beard brownish orange. H. M., A. 
I. S., 1936. Mid-season. 36”. 35c; 3 for $1.00 
DARK KNIGHT (Salbach 1934). This mag- 
nificent mahogany red iris is the richest 
we have seen in its color class, and is a 
fine bold grower with large, well-formed 
blooms. 
The color impression created by this 
majestic iris varies with the light—for at 
times it appears as inky black as Dr. Kirk- 
land’s Black Wings, yet from other angles 
it offers a rich ruby glow. 
A tall, noble flower that is a standout in 
any company. Perfectly formed blooms 
and the deep rich color carry clear across 
the garden. Unusually fine smooth sub- 
stance and finish. Retains its outstanding 
color qualities under light. H. M., A. I. S., 
1936 sbiate. 45) nee, nce 50c; 3 for $1.25 
DAUNTLESS. Color a velvety rose red. Very 
luminous and still one of the best. in its 
color class. Has been one of our best- 
sellers. Does well everywhere and valu- 
able for breeding. A parent to Copper 
Piece, Miss California, and Red Radiance. 
One of the few American iris that have 
received the Dykes Medal Award. Mid- 
Season, 40700 tee tc cttorteatewns 25c; 3 for 60c 
DAWN OF GOLD. See page 5. 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939). (San Diego 
x Seedling) x Modoc). Very large, rich 
deep red-violet. Standards and falls are 
practically of the same shade, except that 
the upper part of the falls is a rich black- 
ish red-purple, shading to frosty claret- 
brown. Dusky gold beard. While Deep 
Velvet falls in the blue-black class, it does 
not resemble any of the other dark iris, 
and because of the red tones it is much 
brighter. Fine branched stems, vigorous 
grower and free bloomer.

DEPUTE NOMBLOT. This magnificent iris 
is an imposing giant of greatest vigor, 
strong foliage, with a stout, firm spike of 
many blooms. Well branched. Blooms 
enormous, with wide-spreading falls. 
Color light glowing rosy bronze. French 
Dykes Medal, 1930, and A. M., A. I. S.,

DESERT GOLD. A fine yellow with smooth 
finish and perfect form, and most pleas- 
ing luminous coloring. A light yellow 
deepening toward the center of the flower. 
Good size, well branched, and of unusual 
substance. Fine from every standpoint, 
being one of the best “buys” in yellow iris. 
A parent of Miss California, it is also ex- 
cellent for breeding. A. M., A. I. S., 1932.

DOGROSE. A fine bright lavender pink iris 
that is a shade deeper than Pink Satin, 
and distinct from the other iris in this 
color shading. Very tall, and striking in 
a clump. A prolific bloomer with many 
flowers to each stem. Mid-season. 40”. 
35c; 3 for $1.00 
EASTER MORN. A giant white, easily one 
of the finest inexpensive whites, even 
though it needs special protection where 
winters are severe. Different from Puris- 
sima in that it has flaring falls, and is a 
warm white, with yellow center. Immense 
blooms on tall, well-branched stalks. Ab- 
solutely distinct. A. M., A. I. S., 1933. Mid- 
S@ason.'4875 cree sie. -isivenselc 35c; 3 for $1.00 
EL CAPITAN. One of the largest iris grown. 
supreme in its color class, graceful and 
well proportioned, this magnificent giant 
is an iris of dignity and grandeur. Strik- 
ing for garden effect, and each of the 
candelabrum type stalks carries a large 
number of the immense blooms, giving it 
signal value as a cut flower. No garden 
should be without this most outstanding, 
long-blooming, light violet blue iris. H. 
M., A. I. S., 1929. Early. Mid-season. 38”. 
25c; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.25 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937). An iris 
that earns the distinction of being a defi- 
nite color break, and a most welcome one, 
too. The plant growth is tall, the form of 
flower is good, and the color, very rich, 
resembles soft coppery-red silk, or bro- 
cade. In addition to its splendid color, this 
flower is blessed with an unusually lus- 
trous, silky texture. Well branched. All 
factors considered, E. B. Williamson ranks 
as a real standout. One of the finest intro- 
ductions of 1937. Fragrant. Mid-season.

ELEANOR BLUE (Salbach 1933). A real 
champion, ranking with the very best, 
just coming into its own. Received H. M., 
A. I. S., 1936, and described as “One of 
the beautiful blues’—Mass.; “The best 
blue in my garden’’—Iowa; and “I think 
it should be in every garden, for we need 
more irises of these clear blue tones.”— 
Mass. 
Coloring—Soft campanula blue with a 
flush of deeper chicory blue in the center 
of the falls. Soft brown haft and promi- 
nent yellow beard. A distinct iris of real 
refinement. 
The warmth of this iris makes it most 
valuable; the more times one sees it the 
better one likes it. Entirely distinct from 
the other fine new blues. Does every bit 
as well elsewhere as in California. Mid- 
SCASON C2 eetste crake schoo ete 50c; 3 for $1.25 
ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass 1939). This beauti- 
ful new iris has taken the iris critics by 
‘storm. It is a complete new “break” in 
yellows, coming in an entirely new shade. 
Sometimes call lemon yellow, sometimes 
sulphur yellow. Produces a very bright 
spot in the garden. Blooms well above the 
foliage. Fine form, and good all-around 
habit. Stock limited. Mid-season.

EROS (Mead). Tall salmon self. Not large 
but one of the nearest to true salmon 
color. Good grower-free bloomer. 
25e; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1939). An iris 
that is almost black. The standards are 
deep black-purple, the falls so dark and 
rich they look like black velvet. The 
blooms are large and of fine form. It is a 
good grower, perfectly hardy in the cold- 
est climates. Mid-season. 40”........ $3.00 
EVOLUTION (Cayeux). One of the finest 
of all the blends. Standards of a warm 
hue of coppery bronze, falls semi-flaring, 
same general color as standards except 
they are flushed with a soft blue. Tall and 
vigorous, with fine clear foliage. Very free 
bloomer, good keeper when cut. Mid- 
season. 30”....25c; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant). One of the most 
talked-of new blue iris of recent intro- 
duction. Very light blue, but completely 
distinct from other light blues, such as 
Anitra, and Shining Waters—for it is very 
light, almost silvery blue—technically 
called “powder blue.” Fine growth, good 
habit. Late mid-season. 38”......... $1.50
