CARDINALIS (Debaillon-Dormon). One of the firmist Abbeville type reds 
we have. The overlapping floral parts are of cardinal; the signal patch is a single 
gold line. The 6%” flowers bloom on a 36” stem. $1.00. 
CAROGINIA. (Conger, ’50). A decided bitone that has 6-inch flowers of 
campanulate form displayed on a 30-inch stalk. The almost orbicular sepals are 
deep cream heavily veined and splashed on the edge dahlia carmine. The petals 
are cameo pink. Mid-season. $5.00. 
CAROLINE DORMON (R. Dormon). An iris certainly worthy of its name. If 
the unusual is what one likes, here it is. Starting with a heart of pale gold, the colors 
blend to a deep rose-red at the tip of the sepals and petals. The sepals recurve 
slightly upward at the tip forming a point. A 6” flower borne on a 36” stem. Has 
a deeper color in the sun. $2.00. 
CATHEDRAL BLUE. (Dormon, C., ’45). These informal flowers are made 
up of the famous blue hues in the cathedral windows of France. The 6” flowers 
have a velvety sheen and display large signal patches of bright yellow. Hardy. 30”. 
$1.00. 
CHERRY BOUNCE. (Nelson, I., 48). H. M., A. I. S., 50; M. S. D. Award, 
A. I. S., 751. Prof. Nelson’s brilliant red is an example of the recent developments 
among these iris. The deep black cherry red flowers of giganticaerulea form have 
broad sepals with a velvety sheen and excellent substance. They are brilliant in 
the sun and seem to prefer a sunny location for growth. One of the few non-fading 
varieties. 367”. $3.50. 
CONTRAST. (Bruce-Debaillon,’ 43). This excellent breeder is the parent of 
most of the bitones and bicolors originating today as well as some of the best 
reds. Though the flowers reach only four inches in width, the interesting combi- 
nation of red-violet sepals and pale orchid petals is most arresting. 24” to 30”. $2.00. 
DELTA COUNTRY. (Chowning, 750). A cross of Dixie Deb. X (Maringouin 
Fulva X Kraemer’s Yellow). Although both parents are early, this yellow is late 
and is in bloom when other yelilows are gone. Narrow, clean foliage and graceful 
stalks bearing 3 open flat, ruffled flowers of medium size. Color is a bright glisten- 
ing yellow and all flowers borne during its first season had a striking, well-defined 
orange signal patch on petals and sepals. Unusually good grower. As a first-year 
seedling it produced 21 fans, of which 6 made bloom stalks. Foliage clean, stems 
slender. 36 inches. Hardy. Late. $10.00. 
DIXIE DEB. (Chowning, 50). Large, clear sulphur yellow of distinctive 
form, heavy substance and fine lasting qualities. Sturdy, clean foliage and strong, 
well-balanced stalk 30 to 40 inches. Hybrid of (Maringouin Fulva X Foliosa) X 
Lockett’s Luck. Hardy. Early, but long blooming. $9.00. 
DORTHEA K. WILLIAMSON. (Williamson, 718). The demand for hardiness 
among the Louisianas grows, and this iris is the criteria for such a goal. It is 
hardy wherever iris grow. The flat wine flowers are held on erect stems 30” to 36” 
in height. Excellent for flower arrangements. $.50.
