Carnelian—48 in. VERY EARLY. This is by far the finest of the very early 
flowering Tall Bearded Iris. It has been one of the ten or twelve outstanding 
varieties in my exhibition gardens for the past few seasons. It is a mammoth 
red-toned bi-color, with perfectly formed flowers measuring up to seven inches 
from tip to tip. It is greatly underpriced for so fine an Iris.............. +20 
Castor—36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND. The white ground is almost completely covered with fine pin 
dots of deep violet; in the standards the stippling is uniform throughout, like a 
piece of fine percale; in the falls the stippling is heavier towards the border, 
toning lighter towards the centre of the petals..............0eeeeeeuees 
Cheerio—40 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY 1938, AND BY THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND, 1939. Ranks with Junalaska for first honors as the most 
brilliant Iris, the falls being a rich, glowing, satiny ruby-red, with a vivid 
orange beard; the standards are soft rose, flushed soft yellow. Perfect in every 
way and a prodigious bloomer. See illustration Page 4 
Constance Meyer—40 in. AWARDED TWO SILVER MEDALS 
IN ENGLAND, where it originated and where they think itis 
the best pink toned' Iris originated to date. I am now able to 
offer it at an unusually modest price.......... 
China Lantern—40 in. A new Iris in an entirely new color tone, with metallic 
old-gold standards and brilliant Bordeaux Red Falls. The flowers are of huge

China Maid—40 in. VERY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT 
BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY 1939. A new pink toned Iris and in 
my judgment the largest and best of all pinks, being twice as large as others, 
with an unsurpassed perfection of form and finish and a ‘“‘sparkle’”’ as though

Clara Noyes—36 in. EARLY. This is one of the most outstanding of the newer 
Irises, and is now offered at a very modest price for such a beautiful flower. 
It is a rich blend of ‘‘Talisman Rose’”’ colors and was one of the greatest attrac- 
tions of my exhibit which won the Grand Prize at Rockefeller Centre in 1936. 
No garden should be without this charming Iris, now that it can be had at such 
: low price. The illustration on the front cover gives but a faint idea of its great

Claribel—45 in. A new 1936 introduction. A giant white ‘‘Plicata,’’ the white 
erect standards being beautifully etched around the border with a feather- 
stitching of soft blue. The falls are straight hanging and therefore give perfect 
garden efiect, with heavy blue veining at the throat and soft blue penciling on 
the edges. Bright blue styles add tremendously to the beauty of the flower. 
Che flowers are of huge size and perfect form and represent a distinct improve- 
nt in this type.
