MOTHER’S DAY 
DIXIE BELLE (Milliken) 
A large ruffled white iris with yellow hafts and beard. It 
is not related to Snow Flurry nor does it resemble Snow Flurry. 
The ruffling or corrugation is full and deep, running the 
entire length of the fails. The petals seem trans!ucent and thin 
and one might think that such flowers would be the first to 
collapse in a heavy rain. On the contrary there are tew kinds 
which stand up so well in the rain. 
The branching is good so that there is no crowding and the 
plant increases well. 3 feet. $5.00; 3 for $12.50; 10 for $35.00 
DIXIE SUNSHINE (Milliken) 
A very refined yellow flower in which the coloring is 
smoothly shaded from medium to light yellow. The petals are 
serrated and the standards open enough to show this attractive 
serration. A bright golden beard. The flowers are gracefully 
held on well-branched stems. Very fragrant. 3 feet. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $10.00 
DUSTY PEACH (Milliken) 
Firmly built, well shaped flowers which in their coloring are 
like tile, known as “Dusty Peach”. They are an ideal coloring 
combination placed with light blue furnishings or grouped with 
pale blue flowers. 4 feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
DUTCH DEFIANCE (Nies) See Spurias, page 25. 
EARLY SPRING (Milliken) 
There were few varieties in bloom in our gardens this spring 
when Early Spring was in full bloom, and none in the darker, 
richer colors. It has been consistent in its performance every 
spring. The flaring six-inch flowers are blue-violet, the stand- 
ards slightly lighter than the rich velvety falls. 3 feet. 
(i $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
EASTER MORN (Essig) 
A very fine variety for milder sections of the country. The 
flowers are a warm white with a sparkle and sheen and a glow- 
ing center which gives a beauty that is a joy. The falls are 
wide, flaring and of unusual substance. Foliage is exceptionally 
large and vigorous. 4 feet. 40c; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.75

ELMOHR (Loomis) 
Here is an iris of which any hybridizer would be very proud. 
A seedling of William Mohr, it carries many of the character- 
istics of the very rare Iris gatesii but has the vigor of our more 
familiar bearded varieties. The flowers are rich mulberry 
and have an exceptional beauty of form. They are carried on 
three-foot stalks and sometimes measure seven inches across. 
It can be used in breeding as it sets seed. Dykes Medal, 1945. 
See illustration, page 12. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass) 
A clear sulphur yellow with a greenish cast in its depth and 
a white blaze near the haft. The flowers are of medium size, 
rounded in form and slightly frilled at the edges.

Substance medium. The plant is vigorous. It will become a 
very popular variety. 3% feet. $1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $10.00 
ESQUIRE (Lothrop) 
A uniform dark blue-purple in which the coloring runs to 
the very bottom of the throat. It is richly colored, but is not 
velvety. The form of the flowers, the substance, and the 
branching are all excellent. It is held in high regard by those 
who have seen it. 3% feet. $15.00
