“Glowers from the Wilds of Missouri” 
IRIS 
BONNY (Lapham, 1948) Each $2.00 
M. 37 in. One of the famous seashell family, peppermint pink 
in color with leather-like substance and smooth coloring with- 
out a solitary vein. The luscious pink shades, like pink clouds, 
are dramatically accented by a tangerine beard. Flowers medium 
size. 
BROWN BOY (Salbach, 1940) Each, 50c 
M. 32 in. Coppery orange standards, brownish orange falls. A 
lively brown of medium size. 
BROWN SUEDE (Heller, 1948) Each $7.50 
This is a strikingly different brown iris in two shades. The falls 
are velvety dark brown with well domed standards of a lighter 
more satiny brown. There are no reticulations present. The 
stalks are well branched and carry an average of 10 buds. The 
orange beard is tipped with brown and the plant has stiff broad 
foliage. 
BROWN THRASHER (Kirkland, 1941) Each $1.25 
Gorgeous color, a brilliant golden light brown with lustrous sheen 
—not velvety. The tall stems bear several well spaced blossoms 
of large size shaped considerably like Copper Lustre, but far 
more alive and colorful. Altogether different from 'Tobacco 
Road, it is one of the very best brown irises and it really appears

broad hafts, large rounded falls and finely held standards. Self 
colored, with bronze yellow beard. A huge flower on 3-foot stems. 
BUCKSKIN (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each 50c 
Bearing a most appropriate title, this iris is by far the best tan 
in our entire collection. The stalks rise to a height of four feet, 
bearing close to a dozen great blooms with large closed stand- 
ards and wide flaring falls. Practically a self in color. 
BUFFAWN (Andrews) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
If you are looking for an iris of unusual coloring and with the 
most brilliant tangerine beard, this is it. A soft pinkish self, 
hard to describe, set off with a very red-orange beard. Nicely 
shaped, prolific blooming and attracts wide attention. 
BURGUNDY ROSE (Hall, 1946) Each $2.50 
The large ruffled dark amethyst-colored flowers are proudly car- 
ried on strong well branched 35-inch stems. The color of Bur- 
gundy Rose is quite striking and it has great garden value. It is 
a vigorous grower and a free bloomer. 
BURMESE GOLD (Whiting, 1945) Each $2.00 
M. 34 in. A pleasant, ruffly iris with a charming air. A lus- 
trous gold blend of deep yellow, pink, apricot and real gold. The 
center of the flower has a warm glow. 
BUTTERCUP LANE (H. M., 1940) Each 50c 
A very heavily ruffled crisp fair sized light yellow on a strong 
well branched 32-inch stem. The form of the flower is ideal 
and the substance extra heavy. This clean bright yellow has 
to be seen to be fully appreciated. 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell, 1933) Each 40c, 3 for 75c 
Intense, somewhat metallic yellow, large and free blooming. 
One of the best in its price class.

CAMERON (Cayeux, 1938) Each 75c

M. L. 38 in. Self of rich Campanula blue. Very large with broad 
petals and full form. 
CAPE BON (Tompkins, 1945) Each $5.00 
M. L. 38 in. Very large and of fine form is this rich glowing 
blend of Arabian red and chocolate brown. An undertone of 
bright copper brings the flower to flaming life. The substance 
is extra heavy and the finish is like satiny leather. Branching 
is excellent on a strong stalk. H. M. 1945, R. 90. 
CAPRICCIO (DeForest, 1942) Each $1.00 
M. 40 in. Standards yellow and crinkled; falls yellow, overlaid

iris. 
CAROLINE BURR (K. Smith, 1940) Each 75c 
M. 40 in. A cool ivory colored iris with a soft mirage-like dash 
of soft, elusive green. Something different in a cream iris and 
one of the very finest of this color. Very large blooms of fine 
form and ideal proportion. 
CASA MORENA (DeForest, 1943) Each $2.00, 3 for $4.00 
M. 38 in. Glowing deep rich coppery brown. A large, long 
formed flower of a sort of “pungent” color that attracts every- 
one. One of the richest iris in the brown shades with a pleas- 
ing iridescence. A solid self. 
CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1945) 
Each $2.50, 3 for $6.00 
L. Most attractive in color and form, this large flowered blend 
of pink, apricot and tan has won high praise from iris judges.

stance. Fine warm coloring and great garden value.

waved at the edges. A self with no venations. 36 inches.

A large ruffled orchid pink flower. The edges of both standards 
and falls are heavily frilled. The 36-inch stems are stout and 
well branched. It has extra good substance, is winter hardy and 
a free bloomer. 
CHARLIE GERSDORFF (Lapham, 1948) Each $3.00 
M. Fiery two toned orange-red with a bright beard. The warm 
orange cast standards suggest an approach to variegata but the 
red tones in the standards place it as a heavily blended red. 
The falls are a brilliant nopal-red with a blending influence of 
carmine in the throat. 38 inches. 
CHEERIO (Ayres, 1934) Each 40c, 3 for 75c 
E. One of the most satisfactory reds, a bicolor of great brilliancy 
and good form and size. A cheerful and friendly iris, vigorous

in every respect. Stock rather limited.

Large blue self with closely domed standards slightly ruffled 
at the edges. A four-footer with broad flaring falls. Color

indescribable iris. This is in shades of pink, golden copper and 
lilac, smoothly blended together. Large size and fine form add 
to its high quality. H. M., A. I. S., 1988. A .M. 1939.
