DESTINY (Burgess 1934) ML. 36”. 
A rich, somber-toned Iris with exceedingly velvety 
black plum-purple falls and standards, and rich gold 
beard. One of the best rich, dark Iris. 
A0c; 3 for $1.00 
DINAH SHORE (T. Williams 1945) EM. 36”. 
A resplendent and enchanting honey-orange shaded 
Iris. Deeper than Stardom and lighter than Tobacco 
Road, with more pure golden overlay on the honey- 
tan standards and falls; a pure self, ideal branching. 
Blooms unusually long. $2.50; 3 for $6.00 
DIRECTEUR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) ML. 42”. 
A magnificent bronze-purple of imposing size and pre- 
cisely formed blooms. Branching and height represent 
just about the standard of perfection among present 
day Iris. A prodigious bloomer. One of Cayeux’s 
masterpieces. A0c; 3 for $1.00 
DISPLAY (Grant 1942) ML. 33”. 
A beautiful red—one of the darkest and richest of the 
reds. It is a rich brilliant glowing red mahogany type, 
rich and smooth without any veining at the haft. A 
fine Iris close to true red. Large sized flowers. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
DISTANCE (Cook 1946) M. 36”. 
Entering the lists as one of the finest blues, this cool, 
translucent light blue with a silvery cast is reminiscent 
of the blue of winter twilight. The pure, unmarred 
flower gives a cool, serene effect. Nice sized blooms 
with an airy grace and limpid color that strikes a 
responsive note with those in search of real blue shades. 
$9.00 
DOWN EAST (Tobie 1943) EM. 37”. 
A very even toned glowing purple Iris from Maine. A 
self, the uniformity of color is carried throughout the 
flower even to purple-tinted bronze beard. Good stalks 
and branching. $3.00 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook 1943) ML. 38”. 
The loveliest pure orchid-pink done to perfection. A 
vision of sheer loveliness. A near white beard em- 
phasizes the solid orchid-pink coloring. The flower is 
full with domed standards and falls of exceptional 
width, full and rounded. This gives the flower an 
extraordinarily full and billowy effect. $7.50 
DREAMLAND (Snyder 1945) M. 38”. 
A full formed hollyhock red. Each petal has a crease 
that breaks the formality of the broad petals. Solidly 
colored, rich and free growing. $5.00 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937) M. 36”. 
Spirited, coppery red. A crimson-red that reflects the 
light like burnished copper. Sparkles from its silken 
finish in many hues. A prolific flowering, satisfactory 
red Iris. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham 1942) ML. 36”. 
Uniform red, finely textured and finished. The out- 
standing character of this Iris is the complete lack of 
haft venation. A glossy sheen displays the crimson cast 
maroon to fine effect. It is variable in performance 
but when it is at its best it is wonderful. $3.00 
ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass 1942) M. 36”. 
Flashing with scintilating brilliance, this deep yellow 
brushed orange draws the eye like a beacon. The falls 
have a sort of overlay of vivid orange brushed on in an 
unusual manner. The colors are gypsy like in their 
brilliancy and vividness, startlingly bright and different. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00

ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) ML. 36”. 
To see a huge, ruffled bloom of this Iris, which 
measures up to 7 inches, unfold, one can understand 
why this has been one of the most exciting and talked 
of Iris we have grown in years. It is an exquisite shade 
of rich, reddish mulberry, incredibly glossy and lus- 
trous; the color seems to smolder as if some interior 
source of light were seeping out of imprisonment. 
There is an unforgettable distinction in Elmohr’s 
rounded form and unique manner of venation. Fine, 
sturdy branched stems, clean foliage. A good garden 
Iris and an Iris that will thrill anyone who sees it. 
Note illustration on page 29. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
EL MOROCCO (Becherer 1945) M. 36”. 
A beautiful opal-pink Iris with broad, rounded petals 
and heavy leather-like substance. It is a descendent of 
that fine Iris Angelus, but is larger and somewhat 
earlier blooming with a better branched stem. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
ELSA SASS (H. Sass 1939) ML. 36”. 
Enticing “lemon-ice” toned yellow, an entirely new 
shade of yellow. Cool and frost-like, a shade of sulphur- 
yellow with a white blaze near the haft. A refreshing, 
beautiful Iris. Elongated bloom, medium size, frilled 
at the edges. One of the most striking Iris. A repre- 
sentative color illustration on page 22. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) ML. 34”. 
One of the “black” Iris. Extremely dark, almost sooty 
black. Practically a self with such lustrous, heavy, vel- 
vety falls that a large portion appears literally black. 
75¢ 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) L. 38”. 
A distinguished light blue Iris quite different from other 
blues. A light blue color which is of great purity is 
overlaid with a silvery mist producing a powder blue 
or French blue effect. This serene Iris of opulent oval 
form and enamel-like finish is a most reposeful color. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) L. 36”. 
A new amoena of cream-white standards and rich vel- 
vety prune-plum falls with a copper medley artfully 
touching up the haft and edge of the fall. Clear cut, 
memorable and pleasant. A striking novelty. A very 
late flowering variety. $8.00 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell 1938) M. 35”. 
One of the liveliest in the yellow color class totally 
distinct from the others. An entrancing bi-tone. Fresh 
and alluring, a pale primrose to cream-white standard 
and blazing rich gold falls accentuated by a deep beard. 
Very attractive. 75c 
FANTASY (D. Hall 1947) EM. 34”. 
Possessing that touch of distinction, this Iris is one of 
our favorites. Different from any other sort of rose and 
orchid-pink combination, the shadings have a touch of 
purplish raspberry about them. The broad, full blooms 
have a bit of a ruffle, the heart of the flower is bril- 
liantly lit up by an effective tangerine beard and the 
contrast between the large purple buds and new rose- 
pink flowers is most individual. $20.00 
FIRECRACKER (Hall 1943) M. 33”. 
Brilliant dark burgundy-red marked plicata with a 
yellow trim. This showy Iris with its vivid shading of 
red on yellow looks like a red amaryllis with white 
stripe from a distance. It is an Iris that commands 
attention; snappy and brisk. The most brilliant plicata 
we grow and one we like very much. $3.50
