8 } SCHREINER’S 
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. $6.00 
DEEP, VELVET) (Salbach 1939) 387: 
An iris of precise styling. We admire its perfection of 
form, one of the finer examples in iris. Perfect blooms with 
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. $3.00 
DEPUTE NOMBLOT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 38”. 
One of the most famous iris. A milestone in iris achieve- 
ment. Rosy-purple shot with bronze, falls brighter shaded, 
all contrasted with a gold beard. 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 
exceedingly velvety broad falls of black plum-purple, deep 
purple standards and a rich gold beard. An especially effec- 
tive 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, 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 
DISPLAY (Grant 1942) ML. 33”. 
More of a self than practically any other rich red. In 
color it is a deep red with a deeper underlay of brown. A 
striking feature of this iris is its ability to ‘“‘carry” well in 
the garden even on a dull day—a very desirable feature. 
Stalk is only moderately tall and branched. It remains, in 
spite of this drawback, a fine iris. $10.00 
DRAP D’OR (Cayeux 1936) ML. 34”. 
A very smooth yellow, melodious primrose, a very pleas- 
ing shade of soft yellow. Form is splendid and graceful. 
Most satisfying. 40c 
DUBROVNIK (Williamson 1938) M. 36”. 
A bright rose mixed with yellow. An unusually sleek 
looking subject, the colors are combined artfully. The 
harmony of yellow and pink tones is very fresh and pleasing. 
$1.00 
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. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33”. 
Refined, delightful, crystaline clear canary yellow. Smooth 
enamel texture with a charming fluting. 25c; 3 for 60c 
EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham 1942) ML. 36”. 
The topnotch new red. The reddest iris in existence, un- 
believably pure toned. A uniform self color in contrast with 
most reds which are bicolor in varying degree. The coloring 
is a rich, glossy crimson. The blooms are trimly tailored, 
I RGSS Gn Rk DENS 
smoothly colored with a clean, solid brown-toned haft devoid 
of any reticulation. This gives a dramatic, finished look to 
this fine red. Rated by outstanding iris authorities as the 
reddest iris from this originator who specializes in produc- 
tion of such fine reds as Christabel, Red Gleam and Wakarusa. 
Edward Lapham is distinctly different from any of these. 
Branched stems neither too tall nor too short. Highly 
recommended. $15.00 
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. 30c; 3 for 75c 
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT UH. Sass 1933) VE. 26’. 
One of the most reliable fall blooming iris. An even shade 
of light purple and very floriferous. Oe 
ELKHART (Lapham 1936) M. 36”. 
Chestnut-red, very velvety falls and pronounced red 
standards on tall stem. Seedling of Ethel Peckham x King 
Tut. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 36”. 
A glowing mahogany red with long velvety falls. In form 
quite different from most iris. 35c; 3 for 90c. 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) M. 34”. 
One of the newest hybrids of Wm. Mohr and the last word 
in color and distinctiveness in this race of plants. An ex- 
quisite shade of rich, reddish mulberry incredibly glossy 
and lustrous; the color seems to smolder as if some interior 
source of light were seeping out of imprisonment. There is 
an unforgettable distinction in Wm. Mohr’s rounded form 
and unique manner of venation and this is inherited by this 
flower in a richer color pattern. To our taste it is the most 
attractively colored of Wm. Mohr’s progeny. It is so dis- 
tinct it merits introduction because of its color alone. Its 
derivation makes it all the more significant. Hybridizers 
will be interested to know it sets seed. 
Medium large blooms on moderately tall stems, branched. _ 
Its foliage is clean and unmarred, a rich shade of pure green. 
A healthy, vigorous plant that grows as easily as the regular 
garden iris for us. It has thrilled everyone who has seen it. 
(See picture page 23.) $10.00 
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. $2.00 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 38”. 
A very tall salmon or coral pink. Flowers are small, an 
ideal massing iris. 25c; 3 for 60c 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) M. 34”. 
Large flowers of lustrous, brilliant red. Perfectly formed 
blooms, arching standards, drooping, broad falls. One of 
the most popular of the reds. 25c; 3 for 60c 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Lapham 1932) ML. 34”. 
A large flowered orchid pink with soft lemon yellow beard. 
Very attractive. 25c; 3 for 60c

ing of goldtan. It carries as blended raspberry red. $3.00
