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. $2.00 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. 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 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) M. 38”. 
A’gay, percolating golden coppery salmon to salmon-pink, 
one of the finest deep pink blends. Good form and sub- 
stance, a good stalk. A slight suggestion of ruffling gives 
it a delightful informal air. Colored as‘the first blush of 
morn. $7.50 
DEEPSVEELYV ET (Salbach:1939) L..387. 
An iris of precise styling. We admire its per- 
fection of form, one of the finer examples in iris. 
Perfect blooms and a marvelous silken sheen, 
not velvety, but a very deep clear purple-violet, 
it is majestic and bright, dark and not sombre. 
The combination of deep silky glisten with haft 
shading to claret brown and its dusky gold beard 
give it a color from the depths. Pleasingly 
scented. (Illustration on this page.) $4.00 
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) ML. 38”. 
This famous iris from New Zealand has not 
only made a reputation for itself in England but 
is fast establishing itself as a favorite in our 
country. A rich sombre-toned iris with exceed- 
ingly velvety broad falls of black plum-purple, 
deep purple standards and a rich gold beard. 
An especially effective planting in our garden is 
Destiny planted with Beowulf, a complimentary 
color in maroon. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
DIRECTEUR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) 
M. 42”. 
A magnificent bronze-purple which for size, 
beauty, precision of form, branching and height 
represents almost the standard of perfection 
among present day irises. One of the master- 
pieces 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 yel- 
low 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”. 
Spirited, lively coppery-red blend of lustrous silken sheen. 
Neither a red nor a copper it enjoys a singular position. A 
blending of restless color that shines and sparkles many hued 
from the self colored flower. $1.00 
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) ML. 36”. 
Enticing and dainty, an entirely new shade of yellow. A 
“lemon-ice”’ toned yellow, bewitching color, cool and frost- 
like. The elusive qualities of this iris are hard to portray. 
Its shimmering purity and dulcet tones of soft sulphur yel- 
low with a slightly deeper beard and throat effectively con- 
trast with the white blaze on the center of the fall. Not 
large, slim and pillar-like on branched stems. <A cool and 
refreshing iris. $3.00
