CHINA MAID (Milliken 1936) E. 35”. 
China Maid is a large mallow pink self broad in all its 
parts. An intriguing medley of pink, golden-bronze and 
soft lilac. During certain weather conditions its substance 
is not equal to the others and in northern sections it is 
slightly tender. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
CHRISTABEL (Lapham 1936) M. 40”. 
Christabel is an iris which seems more outstanding each 
season. Not only is it one of the greatest red irises in the 
individual exhibition bloom, but in the garden its size, vigor 
and floriferous habit make a clump of it a perfect mass of 
glowing coppery red. Christabel is practically a self-color 
except for a golden iridescence in the standards. We recom- 
mend this variety as one of the most effective of all garden 
irises. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GS lays OFSEINCOEN ME) Sass91937 MIL 42", 
King of the variegatas! The variegata by which all others 
are judged. Possesses rich golden standards and _ bright 
velvety red falls. This is the boldest color contrast to be 
found in irises and makes a clump of this variety a very 
striking focal point in any iris picture. City of Lincoln pos- 
sesses fine height, excellent branching, splendid flaring form, 
and equals most of the newer irises in size. We are glad to 
give this variety one of our strongest recommendations. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M. 32”. 
A giant subdued copper with undertones of fawn and 
magenta, the whole overlain with a golden iridescence. A 
much discussed iris because of its unusual color. 
40c; 3 for $1.00 
CORONET (D. Hall 1938) L. 34”. 
A soft blend. In color, a soft golden-tan with a delicate 
underlay of rose-beige. Very much of a self. The blooms 
are well rounded and of lustrous finish. Medium tall stalk, 
nicely branched. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nicholls 1939) M. 42”. 
Large deep red of balance and beauty; arched, domed 
standards with widely flaring falls of a deeper shade of 
very velvety red lightly influenced brown. An arresting 
orange beard accentuates its rich and brilliant pigmentation 
pleasingly. Strongly substanced blooms, low, widely 
branched stems, floriferous and pleasing. $5.00 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY JJ. Sass 1935) EM. 40”. 
A great white and one of the tallest; superb for back- 
ground plantings where a tall white is needed. Placed 
against green shrubbery, this stately, floriferous white with 
its immaculately chaste blooms, white as sculptured snow, 
carved to a most perfect oval symmetry, presents a picture 
of ineffable purity unrivalled in the floral world. Excep- 
tionally vigorous and extremely hardy. 25c; 3 for 60c 
DAUNTLESS (Connell 1929) M. 40”. 
This red self has stood the test of time. Each year in 
spite of the new sorts it holds its place as one of the leaders 
in its color section. It has velvety falls, good color, and is 
a fine performer. We recommend it as a standby for any 
fine collection. 25c; 3 for 60c 
DAWN OF GOLD (Salbach 1940) L. 36”. 
This new yellow development is particularly recommended 
by the originator as being outstanding in size, substance 
and form. The boldly colored blooms are a rich tone of 
golden yellow, practically a self, rounded form with flaring 
falls. Sturdy stalks, low and well branched. $20.00 
DEER VELVET (Salbach)1939) L738". 
An iris of precise styling We admire its perfection of 
form and consider it one of the finer examples of good form 
in an iris. Coupled with this splendid feature we have a 
glorious tone of rich, glossy bishop’s violet. One of the 
few iris colored in such a manner, it has an intensification 
of color along the hafts like epaulets. Good size, stem and 
plant habits resembling Mrs. J. L. Gibson, a thoroughly 
splendid iris in every respect. (Illustration on page 7.) 
DEPUTE NOMBLOT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 48”. 
One of the milestones in the development of the modern 
iris — a robust giant: tall, full-petaled, courtly. Standards 
are a rosy purple shot with an infusion of bronze; the 
bright-bearded falls are a rich claret-crimson. In every 
way a great iris. 25c; 3 for 60c 
DESTINY (Burgess 1934) M. 38”. 
This Antipodean origination which has made quite a 
name for itself in England, is a rich, sombre-toned iris with 
exceedingly velvety, broad falls of black plum-purple color- 
ing, deep purple standards, and a rich gold beard. Destiny 
is especially effective in the garden when planted with 
Beowulf, a complimentary color in maroon, a favorite. 
40c; 3 for $1.00 
DIRECTEUR. PINEECE\Gayeux.1932) Ms42". 
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 60c 
DUBROVNIK _ (Williamson 1938) M. 36”. 
Unusually sleek color with a glossy, satiny finish. The 
limpid tones of this bright rosy blend combine artfully; 
illuminated with a warm gold beard and mellow yellow 
haft. The harmony of yellow and pinkish tones is very 
fresh and pleasing. Substance fair to good. Very good 
growth habits, branched stalks with good placement. 
$1.50 
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. $1.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33”. 
Refined in grace and symmetry this delightful iris pos- 
sesses a uniform clear tone of crystalline canary yellow 
with just a touch of golden-brown venation at the haft re- 
minding 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 60c 
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; 3 for 60c 
ELSA SASS (H. 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. $5.00 
EROS (Mead 1934) E. 40”. 
A tall salmon or coral pink. The color is very lovely but 
the blooms are the least bit disproportionately small for 
the stem. 25c; 3 for 60c
