BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
BLUMOHR (Marx 1949) Each 12.50 
Our BLUE Wm. Mohr seedling which we believe is destined 
to receive all the praise ever accorded other varieties from 
this line of breeding including Elmohr and Lady Mohr. This 
distinct color break resulting from such a cross in itself is most 
extraordinary. The color is purest lavender blue, near Plum- 
bago blue, according to the Dictionary of Color, with no 
veining whatever even on the hafts. The large rounded flowers 
possess exceptional texture and substance and actually remain 
in perfect condition 3 to 4 days in the garden under adverse 
weather conditions. Branching fair. Height 36 inches. Mid- 
season. H.M., A.I.S 1949. Illustrated on back cover. 
BLUE RIM (Larsen 1948) Each 7.50 
Many iris critics rate this the finest of all blue and white 
plicatas. Huge flowers of superb form and remarkable sub- 
stance distinguished by the sharp clear color pattern. Most 
outstanding in all respects. 
BLUE SHIMMER (UJ. Sass 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Our choice of all plicatas. Large graceful snow white flowers 
with wide stippled blue borders. 
BLUE VALLEY (Smith 1947) Each 7.50 
Praised by those who have seen it and hailed as the bluest 
iris to date. Huge wavy flowers of flaring form and definitely 
the nearest to real blue that we have seen in any bearded 
iris. 3 feet. 
BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge 1944) Each 2.50 
Superb reddish brown or henna copper iris which has won 
much acclaim throughout the country. 
BUCKSKIN (Kleinsorge 1939) Each .40; 3 for .85 
Giant golden tan self, about the best iris of this color. 
BUFFAWN (Andrews 1940) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Try this if you want something distinctive and different. The 
large pinkish buff and brilliant tangerine bearded flowers al- 
ways attract visitors. 
BURMESE RUBY (Muhlestein 1949) Each 7.50 
Very deep garnet red self that fairly glistens in the garden. 
Smoothly finished flower of richest color. Rather late. 
CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook 1941) Each 1.00 
Very deep maroon purple. A rich and glowing flower with a 
dusky bronze beard. Small rhizomes. 
CAROLINE BURR (K. Smith 1940) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Large charming cream with the slightest suggestion of green. 
Fine stems and beautifully formed flowers. 
CASA MORENA (DeForest 1943) Each 2.00 
Deep copper brown self and the finest of this color. Brighter 
than other browns. Very large. 
CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 2.50; 3 for 6.00 
This glowing blend of coppery pink and bright tan is truly a 
gorgeous color combination. The flowers are large with in- 
tensely ruffled falls. 
CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 3.50 
Described by its name this titan among iris is distinctive and 
beautiful. The pure chamois color is unmarred by any other 
or any veining. A top flight iris. 36 inches. 
CHANTILLY (Hall 1945) Each 2.00; 3 for 5.00 
No other iris has as crimped or ruffled flowers as this enchant- 
ing novelty. Orchid rose self of medium size. 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934) Each .40; 3 for .85 
Splendid red that has been popular for years. 
CHERIE (Hall 1947) Each 15.00 
The PINK of pinks. A luscious color that has amazed all who 
have seen it and generally regarded as the finest of all the 
famous Hall ‘flamingo pinks’’. Large ruffled flowers on 3 
foot stems. And of course the brilliant tangerine beard char- 
acteristic of the new pinks. 
CHIVALRY (Wills 1944) Each 5.00 
This large ruffled medium blue won the Dykes medal in 1947. 
In our opinion it is about the ultimate in every respect except 
color. Like the reds a really BLUE iris is yet to come. 
CIRCUS (Marx 1950) Each 1.50 
The last of all bearded iris to bloom in our garden. In fact 
there are usually some blooms of Circus still remaining when 
the first Japanese Iris appears. This Marquita seedling de- 
lights all late iris fans and the bright gay color pattern is 
most refreshing. Standards are light lemon yellow. Falls are 
creamy yellow contrasted by bright red veins. Most striking 
and a novelty that will delight those who seek the bizarre or 
fancy iris. 3 feet. 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
The outstanding true variegata. Golden yellow standards and 
dark red falls make this one of the flashiest iris and especially 
so in clumps. 
RAINBOW ROOM 
CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting 1945) Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
This blazing rich yellow self seems to sparkle, so clear is its 
color. Truly a superior iris in every way. 
CLOUD CASTLE (Graves 1944) Each 3.00 
Huge wistaria blue faintly tinted mauve. Tall and most effec- 
tive planted behind the new pinks. 
COLOSSAL (Marx 1946) Each 1.00 
A seedling of Wm. Mohr and El Capitan. The gigantic flowers 
are as large or larger than Ormohr. The color is quite similar 
to Ormohr but it blooms at least 10 days to two weeks earlier. 
Vigorous grower. 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
The first copper colored iris which was awarded the Dykes 
Medal in 1938. There is nothing else like it. 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) Each 1.00 
Warm golden pink blend with buff overtones especially in 
standards and hafts. This iris has contended for highest honors 
ever since its introduction. 
DAYSTAR (Williamson 1941) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
The only Table Iris we list and recommended to those who 
desire dainty small flowered types suitable for cut flower ar- 
etuer aS Creamy white with large tangerine beard. 21/2 
eet.
