LAKE BREEZE 
BRILLIANT AMBER (Salbach 1947) $3.00

with just a suggestion of pink in its makeup. Well closed stand-

beard enhances the tone. Mid-season. 40”. 
BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge 1944) $2.50 
Definitely a color break which has rightfully become a must to 
all Iris enthusiasts. Its mew shade of warm henna-copper on a 
large flower with domed standards and broad, well rounded falls 
of fine substance and branching is breath-taking. Runner-up for 
Dykes Medal 1948. Mid-season. 36”. 
CAHOKIA (Faught 1948) $15.00 
Certainly a fine addition to the light blue class. There is that 
tantalizing tint of Turquoise in Cahokia that intrigues a lover 
of blue Iris. Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1949. Mid-late. 40”. 
CALIFORNIA PEACH (Salbach 1941) 50c

of green. 40”.

style arms and beard of brownish orange. Flowers are large, stalks 
nicely branched. Mid-season. 38”. 
CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1945) $2.50

tan and apricot. Large blooms, ruffled in both standards and falls, 
of good substance. Late. 36”. 
CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge 1944) $3.50 
A teal chamois color without any veining or markings to mar 
its smooth clear color. Large flowers beautifully formed, with 
standards domed and falls slightly waved at the edges. The smooth 
soft finish makes this Iris most desirable. Award of Merit A.LS. 
1948. Mid-season. 34”. 
CHANTILLY (Hall 1945) $2.00 
Ruffled orchid pink flowers with a flush of gold at the haft. The 
edges of both standards and falls are so very heavily frilled, giv- 
ing the appearance of being edged with lace. Has good substance 
and is winter hardy. 36”. 
CHAR-MAIZE (D. Lyon 1949) $15.00 
A large flowered Iris of exceptional merit. Extra fine in pro- 
portion and heavy of substance with falls and standards delicately 
ruffled. For richness of color this flower is hard to surpass, fe- 
the deep yellow shows rich tones of chartreuse which blend and 
deepen in the ruffling to present a flower of definite quality. 
The heavy substance withstands degrees of heat and wind such 
as to wilt average Iris. Char-maize is vigorous, presenting well 
spaced flowers on tall branching stems. 44’. Mid-season. Highly 
commended A.I.S. 1948. Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1949. See 
color illustration front cover. 
CHERIE (D. Hall 1947) $15.00 
One of the newest “flamingo” pinks. Its delicate shade of real pink 
contrasted with a deep tangerine beard is most entrancing. In fact, 
it is a “must have”. The ruffled blooms are of good size, form and 
substance and all in proportion. A vigorous grower. Mid-season. 
34”. Award of Merit A.I.S. 1949. Runnerup for Dykes Medal 1950. 
CHIEF POKING FIRE (DeForest 1942) $1.00 
A bright and distinctive oxblood-red and Victoria lake, with an 
infusion of copper over the entire flower. Firm texture and good 
sized blooms with domed standards and broad flaring falls. 
CHINA LADY (Milliken 1943) Thste 
Early in the season this refreshing tall stately Lady opens into 
blooms of exquisite glistening ivory. There is a golden glow sent 
out from the heart of the flower which is accentuated by a bril- 
liant yellow beard. It has excellent substance, form and finish. 
CHINA MAID (Milliken 1936) TIC 
One of the fine pinks. Soft lilac-pink blended golden bronze with 
gold etched edges. Flowers are large in size. Tall. Mid-season. 
CHIVALRY (J. Wills 1944) $5.00 
This exquisite Iris, a Dykes Medal winner for 1947, is most desir- 
able and should be in every garden. Its blooms are medium 
blue with ruffled edges, having domed standards that are large 
and full. The gracefully flaring falls are broad at the haft, and 
are of excellent texture. A blue tipped orange beard gives a 
finish to this gem of blues. Mid-season. 36”, 
CLOUDCAP (DeForest 1950) $25.00 
We saw this Iris blooming in the DeForest garden, after the 
‘49 ALS. Convention closed. It is the tallest and largest pink 
we have seen to date. Both the standards and falls measured over 
3” in width. The beautifully rounded petals were in perfect pro- 
portion and of fine smooth substance and texture. In color, 
“Blossom pink” describes it beautifully. For contrast, there is a 
bright tangarine-red beard. Mid-season. 40”.
