DIRECTEUR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) M. 42”. 
A magnificent bronze-purple which for size, beauty, pre- 
cision of form, branching and height represents almost the 
standard of perfection among present day irises. One of 
the masterpieces of Mons. Cayeux’s, it is a prodigious 
bloomer, one rhizome often sending up several stalks of 
bloom. One of the indispensables in any iris collection. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson 1929) ML. 36”. 
A large amoena with standards of white blending to 
chicory blue and rich pansy-purple falls. A clean-cut iris 
of refreshing coloring. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DY MIA (Shuber 1936) M. 38”. 
A fine blue-violet self with a dark blue beard and no haft 
markings. A pleasant uniformity of coloring makes this 
tall, well-branched iris especially desirable as a landscape 
flower. 25c; 3 for 50c 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (P. Cook 1937) M. 36”. 
A new light rosy-copper blend of lustrous, silken sheen. 
Low branched stems, unusual vigor, nice size; a blending 
of restless colors that shine and sparkle many-hued from a 
self-colored flower. $3.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33”. 
A superlative yellow! Refined in grace and symmetry 
this delightful iris possesses a uniform clear tone of crystal- 
line canary yellow with just a touch of golden-brown vena- 
tion at the haft reminding one of the soft brown lines in 
the throats of waxy yellow “lady slippers.’”? Exquisite 
sheen, smoothest enamel texture with a charming fluting — 
an iris of airy,grace. 25c; 3 for 50c 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M. 40”. 
A truly majestic iris of soft lavender-blue coloring and 
unbeatable candelabrum branching. In form slightly lan- 
guid. One of the largest irises ever produced and one of the 
must haves of every collection. 25c 
ELKHART (Lapham 1937) M. 36”. 
Chestnut-red, very velvety falls and pronounced red 
standards on tall stem. A seedling of Ethel Peckham and 
King Tut, it has the haft venation and color flash that old, 
popular King Tut carried. 35c; 3 for $1.00 
ELSA SASS UH. P. Sass 1939) L. 36”. 
One of the most enticing colors imaginable. In a flood 
of yellows this quiescent, average-sized yellow has endeared 
itself to all who have seen it. A bewitching pure sulphur 
and chalcedony yellow. The color is frosty and cool in 
tone. The elusive qualities of this flower are hard to por- 
tray. Interesting too, is the apparent deepening of color 
especially along the beard and this soft color handsomely 
contrasts with the white blaze on the center of each fall. 
Slim and pillar-like form on branched stems. $10.00 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 40”. 
A tall salmon or coral pink. The color is very,ovely but 
the blooms are the least bit disproportionately small for 
the stem 25c; 3 for 50c 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) M. 34”. 
Large flowers of lustrous, brilliant red. Perfectly formed 
blooms, arching standards, drooping, broad falls. One of 
the most popular of the newer reds. 25c; 3 for 50c 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Lapham 1932) ML. 34”. 
A large-flowered orchid-pink with soft lemon-yellow 
beard. Very attractive. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DRS) GARD EAN:S 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) ML. 34”. 
The new “black” iris; practically a self. The standards 
are deepest black-purple and the sheen of the heavy falls 
is so lustrous that a large part of their area appears literally 
black, reminding one of the color of black pansies which 
are also literally black save for a blending of deepest purple 
near the edges and the center. $3.00 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) ML. 40”. 
A distinguished light blue iris (pictured on page 18) con- 
sidered by many who have seen it to be one of the most 
beautiful in its color class. The light blue color which is 
of great purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a 
“powder blue” or French blue effect. This very serene iris 
of opulent oval form is a most reposeful color. It can be 
used to especial advantage in planting with complimentary 
colors; its tranquil mist-like tones give a perfect foil for 
pictures of contrast or harmony. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell 1938) EM. 38”. 
Captivating and a distinct variant from the run of yel- 
lows which often look so much alike, we have here our first 
yellow bicolor. The full majesty of cream-white standards 
and blazing rich gold falls accentuated by a deep gold beard 
gives this flower a most stately effect. Full formed, nice 
sized blooms, solid, uncolored hafts on very well branched 
stems. One of the finest creations and a splendid achieve- 
ment. $6.00 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge 1936) M. 40”. 
Subdued glowing tones of salmon and golden-sand with 
intensified highlights of flushed coral. The center has an 
incandescent-like glow of soft yellow. A self with ruffled 
standards and a misty blue blaze on the falls near the 
beard. 60c 
FAVORI (Cayeux 1934) M. 30”. 
A real true purple, an improvement on the popular 
Magenta, being larger, richer and perhaps a trifle darker. 
Broad petals and a delightful fluting add to the beauty of 
this distinctive new self-color. 25c; 3 for 50c 
FIESTA (White 1936) ML. 34”. 
A coppery-apricot iris of uniform coloring and smoothest 
satiny sheen. The fine oval blooms are borne in great pro- 
fusion. A very lovely iris. $1.00 
FLORENTINE (Cayeux 1937) M. 36”. 
To the plicatas with their never ending variety of mark- 
ings Florentine brings its flurry of color, different from any 
other. The enormous flowers are heavily striated and gran- 
ited a clear lilac-mauve; the speckling and freckling give a 
most dainty effect. Misty and cool, yet tranquil. $5.00 
FRANK ADAMS (Lapham 1937) M. 48”. 
This flamboyant iris carries its blooms on about as ideally 
spaced and proportioned branches as could be desired. The 
fine form reminds one of the all around excellence of Depute 
Nomblot. It is a rosy fawn bicolor with standards fawn-tan 
blended with pink and falls rose with a tantalizing tan 
undercast giving unusual warmth and vibrancy to its colors. 
$2.00 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) ML. 38”. 
One of the aristocrats of the iris world; a large lilac-rose 
bicolor of classic flaring form and splendid texture. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) M. 30”. 
Ranks as one of the very top flight reds as we have 
achieved them in iris. Medium tall stem with flowers of 
smooth, velvety-toned vivid red. Possessing real color ap- 
peal it is as pure red as any iris in commerce today. Rich 
color, good substance, good form. The flowers are full 
formed with hafts solidly colored red and more glossy vel- 
vety falls, handsomely contrasted by the rich beard. Not 
a fast grower, it takes about two years to give its best per- 
formance. $2.00
