DESTINY (Burgess, 1934) 
M. L. 36 in. Velvety, blackish plum-purple from New Zealand. 
A rich, heavy flower of good form and stems. One of the best 
dark irises. 
Each 40c, 3 for 75c 
DISPLAY (Grant, 1942) Each $1.00 
M. L. 35 in. Smooth, unveined Spanish red, shading to deep 
maroon at the haft. Deep and rich it has an intensity that glows 
even on a dull day. 
DISTANCE (Cook, 1946) Each $5.00 
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. 
DIXIE BELLE (Milliken) Each $2.50 
A large ruffled white iris with yellow hafts and beard. The 
ruffling or corrugation is full and deep, running the entire length 
of the falls. The petals seem translucent and thin and one 
wight think that such flowers would be the first to collapse in 
a heavy rain. On the contrary, there are few kinds which stand 
up so well in the rain. The branching is good. 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each $3.50 
An orchid pink self, the segments very broad and of bright clear 
tones. The white beard, tinted lemon at the base, tends to em- 
phasize the solid pink effect. One of the most sought after vari- 
eties and stock is very scarce. We have a few plants only. 
DREAMLAND (Snyder, 1945) Each $2.00 
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. Branching and substance of the best. 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell-Norton, 1944) Each $1.00 
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. 
EASTER CANDLE (Essig, 1946) Each $2.00 
M. The highly domed standards are pure white, the falls are 
semiflaring of white with yellow lightly brushed down on the 
hafts. Tall well branched stalks. 48 in. 
EASTER GOLD (Essig, 1946) Each $2.00 
M L. One of the brightest yellows in the garden. The flowers 
are not as large as some of the Essig iris but its pure golden 
color adds a new note in the yellow class. Smoothly finished 
flaring flowers with good branching. 40 in. 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (P. Cook, 1937) Each 40c, 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. 
EBONY ECHO (Tompkins, 1948) Each $15.00 
M. lL. 38 in. The flowers are large and have very broad petals 
with horizontal fal's. While the buds appear black, the flowers 
are a deep carmine with a satiny blackish overlay. 
IRIS 
EDITH ROAKE (K. Smith, 1946) Each $4.00 
A blue and white plicata that has great garden value. Very fine 
as a clump. Vigorous and prolific. 40 inches. 
EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham, 1942) Each $1.50 
The flawless rich crimson flower with a cast of maroon is most 
attractive and one of the reddest iris to date. A self even to the 
hafts and throat. The smooth glossy finish adds to the loveli- 
ness of the trim tailored bloom. Midseason. 36 inches. 
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Each 40c, 3 for 75c 
An iris of rich purple. Blooms early in spring, then (in most 
sections) again in fall. 
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 irises that we have ever grown. The stems 
are at least 3 feet tall with excellent branching and a great 
number of huge blooms. H. M., A. I. S., 1942. 
EL PASO (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $5.00 
A richer brighter Tobacco Road with lovely form, closed stand- 
ards and broad falls that flare gracefully. The luminous metallic 
finish gives it a lively glowing quality that most brown lack. 
Large flowers, good branching and vigorous. 32 in. 
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 goo stalks. 
A most distinctive color. 
ESQUIRE (Lothrop, 1945) Each $5.00 
In Southern California where this iris was originated, Esquire 
has received much favorable comment. It is a seedling of Brun- 
hilde and has that same uniform rich, smooth deep blue-purple 
color, although taller, and of better form. Excellent branching. 
Mid-late season. 40 inches. 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant, 1937) Each 40c, 3 for 75c 
40 inches. The light blue color, which is of great purity, is over- 
laid 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. 
EXQUISITE (Nesmith, 1947) Each $5.00 
M. It is a self of light Congo pink (Ridgeway), the color intensi- 
fied by the pink beard. The standards are domed, and firmly 
held by the strong midrib. The falls are semi-flaring. The very 
pink buds give added charm. 35 inches. 
EXTRAVAGANZA (G. Douglas, 1944) Each $3.50 
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 blending of 
iridescent copper, red lavender and deep violet, with a violet 
flush down the center. Very late. 40 inches. 
FAIRYFOAM (Mitchell, 1948) Each $3.50 
A big ruffled warm white; stems 3 ft. or taller. Flowers early, 
continues long.
