CHRISTABEL. A splendid growing true red. One of the great reds not only for individual exhibi- 
tion bloom but for the garden also. Its size, vigor and floriferous habit make a clump a per- 
fect mass of glowing copper red. It is one of the most effective Iris in the garden. 50c

our Iris field the past season. A iall, huge striking variegata of clear yellow with velvety 
bright red falls. 40 inches tall, a perfect beauty when well grown. We are most enthusiastic 
about this marvelous Iris and any praise given cannot be too high. 50c

descent like a new copper penny. Height, 30 inches. Mid-season. One of the most note- 
worthy Iris. 50c

ELMOHR. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr has ac- 
quired the greatest popularity in the shortest time of any Iris ever introduced. One of the very 
largest of all Irises, the great blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture and remarkable 
substance. The stems are well branched and at least three feet tall. Because it has proven 
to be hardy everywhere and increases rapidly, the price has reached a point where every 
genuine Iris connoisseur can and should own it. $1.00

sulphur and chalcedony yellow it seems like a cool frost is hovering over its petals. This 
surely is an Iris that will endure. 50c 
EXCLUSIVE. A distinguished light blue iris quite different from other Iris. A light blue color 
which is of great purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a “powder blue” or French 
blue effect. This serene iris of opulent oval form and enamel-like finish is a most reposeful 
color. Height, 36 inches. 40c 
FAIR ELAINE. A very lovely outstanding Iris. The first yellow bi-color. Standards cream- 
white; the falls rich gold with a deep gold beard. A distinct innovation in the class of yellow 
Iris and a splendid achievement of Mr. Mitchell. We cannot recommend this Iris too highly. 50¢

color. Long flowering season. Height, 42 inches. 40c

and the demand always exhausts the supply. 75c
