“Blowers from the Wilds of Missouri” 
IRIS 
CORITICA (H. Sass, 1942) Each $1.25 
Precisely dotted brown on a rich yellow ground, it is regarded 
by some iris enthusiasts as the best of the Sass yellow plicatas. 
Deeper in color than Balmung, but not quite as large. 
COURTIER (D. Hall, 1947) M. Each $10.00 
The deepest pink of the Hall Flamingo pinks. Not quite as 
good form as Cherie, but the color is outstanding. Very promi- 
nent deep tangerine beard. Strong stalks and good branching. 
H. C., A. I. S. 1944. 30 inches. 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nicholls, 1939) Each 60c 
40 inches. M. L. Very large brilliant red flowers. 
DAMERINE (Gage, 1939) Each 75c

falls. Received Bronze Medal at New York World’s Fair, 1940. 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each $1.50, 3 for $3.50 
A huge golden pink with slight undertones of copper. The 
flowers are well shaped with closed standards and falls that 
are semi-flaring, but there is a suggestion of ruffling in the 
entire blossom. It has excellent branching and the stems are 
3 to 4 feet tall. The name is most appropriate. 
DERRILL HART (Glutz, 1938) Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
M. 40 inches. Large flowers whose standards are rose with 
suffusion of violet, falls showing more red. Tall well-branched 
stalks. 
DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
A great heavy flower of deepest blackish bronze purple with 
rich golden beard. From New Zealand, and it ranks high as one 
of the truly fine novelties not recently produced in this coun- 
try—there are so few of them. 
DISTANCE (Cook, 1946) Each $9.00 
M. 35 inches. This is said to be a forerunner of real blue iris. 
The flowers are large and heavily substanced. Placement is 
good on strong well branched stalks. 
DOGROSE (Insole, 1930) Each 30c 
M. L. 44 inches. Very tall, clear, pink-lavender. Vivid color, 
very effective for background clumps. Fine companion to Crys- 
tal Beauty. 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each $7.00 
An orchid pink self, the segments very broad and of bright 
clear tones. The white beard, tinted lemon at the base, tends 
to emphasize the solid pink effect. One of the most sought after 
varieties and stock is very scarce. We have a few plants only. 
DREAMLAND (Snyder, 1945) Each $5.00 
M. 38 inches. This new iris has ruffled well domed standards 
and ruffled semi-flaring falls. Deep Hollyhock red is the closest 
description to color. Haft has no venations and is offset with 
a lemon colored beard. A rapid grower, with branching and 
substance of the best. 
DYMIA Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
38 inches. Honorable Mention, American Iris Society. A hand- 
some, very large, very dark uniform purple, almost black, with 
a dark blue beard that harmonizes beautifully and intensifies 
the coloring. 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell-Norton, 1944) Each $3.00 
Base color rhodenite pink with %-inch margin of burnished 
gold on both standards and falls, heavy to gold at the haft, 
golden beard. A large flower well spaced on stalk. 40 inches 
tall. Try this one. 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (P. Cook, 1937) Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
M. 36 inches. A new light rosy copper blend of lustrous, silken 
sheen. Low branched stems, unusual vigor, nice size; a blend- 
ing of restless colors that shine and sparkle many hued from 
a self-colored flower. 
EL CAPITAN Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
40 inches. Early. Fragrant. One of the iris giants, the flowers 
being of mammoth size comparing with the giant Nene. A 
handsome manganese violet coloring, medium blue in effect. 
Should be in every garden at the present low price. 
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
An iris of rich purple. Blooms early in spring, then (in most 
sections) again in fall. 
ELKHART Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
Deep chestnut red with a brownish cast. A seedling of Ethel 
Peckham crossed with King Tut. The flowers are rounded in 
form, profusely borne, and lit up with a vivid orange beard. 
ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
A very rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr. This is one of 
the most exciting new irises that we have ever grown, and it 
is quite likely to become the most popular of all Wm. Mohr 
seedlings when a lower price makes it available to the average 
gardener. The stems are at least 3 feet tall with excellent 
branching and a great number of huge blooms. H. M., A. I. S. 
1942. 
ELSA SASS (Sass) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
L. 36 inches. A. M. Lemon yellow. Closed standards of deep 
lemon, semi-flaring falls of deep lemon, conspicuously washed 
cream at center. Strongly fragrant, large flowers on good 
stalks. A most distinctive color. 
EL TOVAR Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
A gorgeous variegated blend in rich brown, yellow and blackish 
maroon with a yellow glow at the heart. An effect of molasses 
and honey with a drop of gold at center. 
EROS Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
Very tall salmon colored self, possibly the nearest to this color 
ideal that has ever been offered. The throat is lit with gold, 
giving it a special brilliance. 
ETHELWYN DUNBAR Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
38 inches. It is a flower of fine form. A deep pink, and it is 
twice the size of Pink Satin. 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
40 inches. A distinguished light blue iris considered by many 
who have seen it to be one of the most beautiful in its color 
class. The light blue color, which is of great purity, is overlaid 
with a light silvery mist, producing a “powder blue” or French 
blue effect. This very serene iris of opulent oval form is a 
most reposeful color. 
EXTRAVAGANZA (G. Douglas, 1944) Each $8.00 
Mr. Douglas has given us a number of very fine iris, but here 
we have a rarity, a real Amoena. The standards are white 
with a slight shading of cream at the base. The falls a blend- 
ing of iridescent copper, red, lavender and deep violet, with a 
violet flush down the center. A true gem for flower lovers. 
Very late. 40 inches. 
FANTASY (D. Hall) (H. C., 1944) Each $15.00 
A lovely rose and orchid toned pink, distinctive and quite dif- 
ferent in color from the flamingo pink. But it is of the same 
breeding as the flamingos and has the tangerine beard. The 
well formed, above medium sized flowers have good substance 
and are carried on well branched 30-inch stout stems. Stock 
limited. 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge, 1936) Each 40c 
40 inches. A mellow blending of salmon, rose and pale gold. 
A delicately toned blend of smooth finish and excellent growing 
habits. 
FASCINATION Each 30¢ 
48 inches. Early. A bright pink toned variety that has always 
been as popular among the pinks as Sensation is among the 
blues. Very fine flowers produced in prodigious quantities. 
FIESTA Each $1.00 
Sparkling copper standards. Falls apricot-orange. 
FIRECRACKER (Hall, 1943) Each $3.00 
A glowing dark Burgundy red plicata with yellow trim. The 
flowers have good substance, are well formed and are carried 
on fairly well branched stout 32-inch stems. The depth and 
richness of color command the attention of every visitor. 
FLAMELY (P. Cook), 1943) Each $1.50 
A glowing red self, the color more orange than purple. Stand- 
ards ochre red to terra cotta; falls flaring garnet brown; cad- 
mium yellow beard.
