Mapleton, Iowa 
CEDAR ROSE (Whiting 1941) M. 36 in. 
We like this flower better every year 
it blooms and believe that you will too. 
It is a very rich brown red and almost a 
self, the falls being only slightly darker 
than the warm coloring of the standards. 
Ridgway does not have a color quite like 
it but it is between his Bordeaux and 
Vandyke red. It is redder than either 
mahogany or cedar and the name is per- 
haps misleading but we named it for the 
popular textile color so much used with 
dusty pink and turquoise blue in interior 
decoration. It is close to the true maroon 
of the Dictionary of Color. The flowers 
are moderately large, of very heavy sub- 
stance and smooth lacquered finish. They 
hold their form and coloring well in any 
weather and ‘have a very long blooming 
season. The stalks are of medium height, 
well branched and very strong. The plants 
are vigorous in growth, free flowering and 
renerous in increase. We think Cedar 
Rose will hold its own among the reds.

40 in. A brilliant variegata, tops in its 
class. The firm, well domed standards

garnet red velvet with a trim edge of 
the chrome yellow. Mr. Sass worked 
many years for this and it is the first 
really large pure colored variegata. ite 
blcoms well on tall, branching stalks but 
does not increase fast. An established 
clump of it is a knock out. H.M. 1987, 
A. M., 1939, Per. R. 90, 1938. Second choice 
for Dykes Medal in 1941. $2.50

in. A bright rosy copper self of charm- 
ingly ruffled form and pleasing person- 
ality. No garden visitor ever passes it 
up, it is so cheerful and attractive. The 
individual flowers are not large but the 
garden effect is excellent when grown in 
a clump. It is very free flowering and 
fast increasing so that second year Sro wth 
makes a nice clump. We are sure you 
wll like it. $2.00

A beautiful rosy pink flushed with spark- 
ling copper. It has a very pleasing form

flaring falls. Many favorable comments 
have been made on this new iris which 
is a valuable addition to the pink class.

midrib of the falls and the style arms 
are blue. The orange brown beard and 
golden dusted hhaft give a warm contrast 
to the copper crystals. R. 90, 1941. $20.00 
CREMELLO (Egelberg 1940) M. O20: 
There are not many really good cream 
«1 
colored irises, but this is one. The full, 
smoothly rounded petals are of very 
heavy substance and of lasting beauty. 
The color is pure and clear, warmed by 
a deeper glow toward the center. Not 
very tall, it is in good proportion and 
makes a charming clump near the front 
of a border. The plants are hardy and 
prolific both of bloom and increase. $4.00 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nicholls 1939) M. L. 
42 in. A large and beautiful iris of rich, 
deep red coloring, one of the best dark 
reds. The firm standards are arched and 
domed, the semi-flaring falls are velvety 
and some deeper in tone. The orange 
beard and inner orange glow give life 
and warmth to the flowers. Tall, widely 
branched stalks carry many fine blooms 
gracefully. The plants are hardy, easy 
growers. R. 89, 1941. $3.00 
DAINTY BESS (Whiting 1941) Table Iris. 
M. 15 in. A dear little iris of pure sky 
blue. The many daintily formed flowers 
cover the plant with a mass of bloom. It 
has thin, well branched stems and grassy 
foliage, making it very lovely for cutting 
or for garden bloom in the low border. 
Plants of this sold so well last year that 
stock is still scarce although it multi- 
plies rapidly. $2.00: 
DAYDAWN (Whiting 1940) M. 88 in. A 
delightful blend of rosy pink and gold, 
smoothly combined. The flowers are 
large and cf graceful form, heavy sub- 
stance and glistening texture. The stalks 
are tall and branched fairly well. Our 
earden visitors buy so many of these it 
is hard to keep any stock. H. C. 1939.

DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) E. M. 38 
in. No garden is complete without this 
stunning iris, it is one of the very finest 
in its class or in any class. It is so dark 
and rich that it is difficult to classify 
it as red black or blue black; although 
the latter is more often used it is warm 
and glowing from the red purple under- 
tones. The fine, large flowers are borne 
on tall, well branched stalks and the 
plant is perfectly hardy and strong grow- 
ing with free blooming habitsae He Mv:
