DEB’S DELIGHT (Hall 1946) E to L 36 in. This apricot-pink introduction of 
ours has been going places..... “TI think Deb’s Delight better than Dream 
Girl or Overture for size and height, and it was very good in my garden on first 
year plants, being about 38 in. tall,’ was the word we received from the West 
last year. Equally enthusiastic reports have been received from the South, from 
Texas, and trom the East. A thesh or dusky pink color, the medium large 
blooms have somewhat crinkled standards, with falls more lightly ruffled, and 
the flower has a pleasing fragrance. Fine branching, excellent substance, and a 
bright tangerine beard. For us Deb’s Delight grows madly, making an average 
increase of seven divisions on a one-year plant, with an average of 8 out of 10 
plants giving bloom the first year. We like to think, perhaps rashly, that this is 
the best, lowest-priced “pink” on today’s market. $3.00 
at a a ea SS Pe RO aL SS ge 
tion, and with a pronounced burnt 
orange beard. 85c 
COCK ROBIN (Hall 1947) M 36 in. 
Introduced by us last year, you will find 
this a very bright, almost brazenly 
showy variegata of lusty growth and 
generous bloom, well branched and 
heavily substanced. Plant in combina- 
tion with yellow and red selfs for best 
garden effect. $7.50 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M 
32 in. This 1938 Dykes winner, a blend 
of gold and coppery pink, continues in 
heavy demand. 50c 
COPPER ROSE (Cook 1941) A smooth 
blend of old rose, tan and copper, 
brightened by a glow of golden yellow 
at the center. The flowers, of medium ta 
large size, have very wide standards 
and falls. HM and AM. $2.00 
CORITICA (H. Sass 1943) A neat, trim 
yellow plicata, attractively marked. $2.00 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nicholls 1939) 38 in. 
A popular and excellent deep red; one 
of the best lower priced. jhte 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) Large 
blooms of fine form and good substance 
on well branched stems. Color is a 
blend of pink, gold and copper. Tied 
with Ola Kala for Dykes in 1946. $2.25 
DAWN OF GOLD (Salbach 1940) L 36 
in. A big, bold, fragrant iris of deep 
rich yellow, heavily substanced. $2.00 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) M 38 
in. A large, rich deep red or purple vio- 
let with heavy substance and vigorous 
growing habits, fine in form, rich in 
color, free blooming, and seemingly a 
good grower everywhere. $1.25 
DESTINY (1934) M 32 in. An importa- 
tion from New Zealand, this dark col- 
ored iris has large blooms of deep wine 
purple. 50c 
DINAH SHORE (T. Williams 1945) 
This iris lacks the depth of color or 
sparkle of other brown or orange iris. 
In color it is a pale or subdued orange- 
tan, a pure self, quite unlike anything 
else. Grows and blooms well here. $4.00 
DISPLAY (Grant 1942) 36 in. A dark, 
rich red, without venation. HM 1942. 
Rating 89. $2.50 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell-Norton 
1944) The introducer describes this as 
an iris with base color of rhodenite 
pink, with half inch margin of bur- 
nished gold on both standards and falls, 
and a golden beard. The flowers are 
large, on 40 in. stalks, well branched. 
This variety grows and blooms well for 
us, is most attractive, well liked. $7.50 
EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham 1942) M 
32 in. A true crimson self, not large 
flowered, but of fine garden value. This 
iris has been hard to live with, for the 
color makes it hard to part with and its 
tendency to develop rot would call for 
discard. $3.00 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) M 36 in. This 
large flowered, mulberry colored seed- 
ling of Wm. Mohr that won the Dykes 
in 1945 still continues in great demand. 
Our soil must particularly suit the 
“Mohrs” for we get fine growth and 
blooms on all. $1.25 
EL MOROCCO (Becherer 1945) 36 in. 
An opal-pink of leathery substance and 
well branched. A forerunner to the 
newer, better pinks, El Morocco is more 
in the color class of Morocco Rose and 
Angelus. $2.00 
ELSA SASS (H. Sass 1939) ML 30 in. 
A fine garden iris of lemon yellow col- 
or, with greenish cast and a near white 
blaze near haft. The blooms are of 
good size and form, slightly frilled. 50c 
ERMA NEALE (Lapham 1947) Named 
for the mayor of Elkhart’s daughter, 
this iris is close to a real pink. The 
flower is of nice size, heavy substance, 
without veining, and the delicacy is 
preserved by a pale yellow beard. $5.00
