Cook Originations 
Captain Wells (Cook No. 14339, 1941). A deep glossy maroon purple of 
beauty and distinct character. A large, rich solidly colored self. Neat and 
finished in appearance, owing to the almost entire absence of haft mark- 
ings, and to the subdued yellow of the beard; there is a shine to the whole 
flower that renders the rich color live and bright. Of splendid form and 
substance, the standards held together at all times, the falls flaring stiffly. 
Altogether, one of the finest dark Irises we have grown or seen. 
Detail: S. conic domed, Dark Vinaceous Purple; F. flaring, Dahlia Carmine; 
beard, Aniline Yellow. Flowers 5 inches x 5 inches, the S. and F. each 
2% inches wide. Shape of flower good, substance heavy, texture smooth 
and lustrous. Stem 388 inches, low and widely branched, bearing nine 
flowers. Plant of strong growth, free and dependable in bloom. Midseason 
to late. $15.00 
Copper Rose (Cook No. 939, 1941). A smooth blending of old rose, tan 
and copper, brightened by a glow of golden yellow at center of flower. 
The best out of three or four selected seedlings of this coppery pale red 
coloration, declared by competent judges to be distinct from the copper 
blends of other breeders. Flower slightly bicolor; shape and substance 
good. Medium large in size, the wide standards and falls displaying the 
rich, bright coloring to splendid advantage. 
Detail: S. arching, between Buff Pink and Japan Rose; F. flaring, between 
Terra Cotta and Ocher Red; crests Honey Yellow; beards Cadmium Yellow. 
Flowers 4% inches high, 5 inches wide; standards 2%4 inches, falls 2%
