DISPLAY (Grant 1942) ML. 33”. * 
A beautiful red—one of the darkest and richest of the reds. 
It is a rich, brilliant, glowing red mahogany type; rich and 
smooth without any veining at the haft. A fine Iris close 
to true red. Large sized flowers. HM’42. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
DISTANCE (Cook 1946) M. 36”. * 
One of the finest blues, a cool translucent light blue with a 
silvery cast reminiscent of winter twilight. The pure, un- 
marred flower gives a cool, serene effect. Nice sized blooms 
with an airy grace and limpid color that strikes a responsive 
note with those in search of real blue shades. Color carries 
remarkably far. Very popular. HM’46. AM’49. $5.00 
DOWN EAST (Tobie 1943) EM. 37”. 
A very even toned glowing purple Iris from Maine. A self, 
the unformity of color is carried throughout the flower even 
to purple-tinted bronze beard. Good stalks and branching. 
It is proving a valuable breeder. HM’43. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook 1943) M. 38”. * 
The loveliest pure orchid-pink done to perfection. A vision 
of sheer loveliness. A near white beard emphasizes the solid 
orchid-pink coloring. The flower is full with domed stand- 
ards and falls of exceptional width, full and rounded. This 
gives the flower an extraordinarily full and billowy effect. 
HM’44. AM’48. Illustrated on page 4. $3.50; 3 for $8.25 
DREAMLAND (Snyder 1945) M. 38”. 
A full formed, deep hollyhock red. Each petal has a crease 
that breaks the formality of the broad petals. Solidly colored, 
rich and free growing. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
DRUM MAJOR (Douglas 1947) ML. 38”. * 
A broad, roundly formed rosy cast red. The falls have a vel- 
vety flush and the even coloring of the entire flower, even to 
the red colored styles, gives an overall rose-red effect. Espe- 
cially effective in the warmer sections of the country where 
some reds have a tendency to fade. $5.00 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell 1946) M. 38”. 
Very attractive warm toned pink with an unbelievable half 
inch band of gold on both the standards and falls; heavy gold 
beard and golden throat. HM’46. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
EBONY QUEEN (Sass 1947) EM. 36”. 
The latest dark creation from the Sasses. A dark, blackish 
purple. Medium large blooms on well branched stems, fra- 
grant. HM’47. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
EDWARD LAPHAM (Lapham 1942) ML. 36”. 
Uniform red, finely textured and finished and completely free 
of venation. A rich, glossy sheen displays the copper-red to 
fine effect. It is variable in performance but when it is at its 
best it is wonderful. HM’40. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass 1942) M. 36”. 
Flashing with scintillating brilliance, this deep yellow brushed 
orange draws the eye like a beacon. The falls have a sort of 
overlay of vivid orange-brown brushed on in an unusual 
manner. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) ML. 36”. * 
Seeing a huge, ruffled bloom of this Iris, which measures up 
to 7 inches, unfold, one can understand why this has been 
one of the most exciting and talked of Iris grown in years. 
It is an exquisite shade of rich, reddish mulberry, incredibly 
glossy and lustrous; the color seems to smolder as if some 
interior source of light were seeping out. There is an un- 
forgettable distinction in Elmohr’s rounded form and unique 
manner of venation. Fine, sturdy branched stems and clean 
foliage. A thrilling Iris. Note illustration page 40. AM’44. 
DM’45. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
EL MOROCCO (Becherer 1945) M. 34”. 
A beautiful opal-pink Iris with broad, rounded petals and 
heavy leather-like substance. It is a descendant of that fine 
Iris Angelus but is larger and somewhat earlier blooming. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50

ELSA SASS (H. Sass 1939) ML. 36”. 
Enticing “lemon ice” toned yellow, an entirely different shade 
of yellow. Cool and frostlike, a shade of sulphur yellow with a 
white blaze near the haft. A refreshing, beautiful Iris. Elon- 
gated bloom, medium size, frilled at the edges. A most strik- 
ing Iris. Color illustration page 45. HM’39. AM’41. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
ENVOY (DeForest 1948) L. 30”. 
A glossy, dark descendant of Ethiop Queen. A dark Ivis with 
some red-purple in it. Dusky orange beard, very smooth and 
attractive. $12.00 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) L. 38”. 
A distinguished light blue Iris quite different from other 
blues. A light blue color which is of great purity is overlaid 
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. HM’37. AM’39. 
AOc; 3 for $1.00 
EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) VL. 36°. * 
An amoena of cream-white standards and rich velvety prune- 
plum falls with a copper medley artfully touching up the haft 
and edge of the fall. Clear cut, memorable and pleasant. 
The last Iris to blossom. HM’44. AM’47. $3.50 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell 1938) M. 35”. 
One of the liveliest in the yellow color class totally distinct 
from the others. An entrancing bi-tone, Fresh and alluring, 
a pale primrose to cream-white standard and blazing rich gold 
falls accentuated by a deep beard. Very attractive. HM’39. 
AM’40. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
FALL DAYS (K. Smith 1948) E. 36”. 
Every so often a hybridizer receives several good Iris from one 
cross. This Ivis, an excellent orange brown toned red, was the 
best of several good seedlings from the mating of Orange Glow 
and Matula. It vividly recalls the brilliant fall days, it is so 
brightly colored. $10.00 
FANTASY (Hall 1947) EM. 34”. * 
Possessing that touch of distinction, this Iris is one of our 
favorites. Different from any other sort of rose and orchid- 
pink combination, the shadings have a touch of purplish rasp- 
berry about them. The broad, full blooms have a bit of a 
ruffle, the heart of the flower is brilliantly lit up by an effec- 
tive tangerine beard and the contrast between the large purple 
buds and new rose-lilac flowers is most individual. HM’47. 
AM’49. $10.00 
FAR HILLS (Wills 1949) M. 38”. 
Cool and refreshing. Probably the deepest of the clear orchid 
pinks. Very effective as a garden clump with exceptional carry- 
ing qualities. $5.00 
FIRECRACKER (Hall 1943) M. 33”. * 
Brilliant dark burgundy-red marked plicata with a yellow 
trim. This showy Iris with its vivid shading of red on yellow 
looks like a red Amaryllis with white stripe from a distance. 
It is an Iris that commands attention, snappy and brisk. The 
most brilliant plicata we grow and one we like very much, 
Pictured on page 15. HM43. $2.50; 3 for $6.25 
FIREDANCE (Fay 1947) ML. 36”. 
A deep, glowing red marked plicata, the striking pattern of 
marking gives a strident note. The falls are marked in a nar- 
row perimeter while the standards are more generally marked 
a shade of wine-red. Not large yet most effective. HM’47. 
$6.00 
FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass 1941) EM. 40”. 
A fascinating and singular Iris. Melting pink color, like foam 
on a strawberry soda with deeper lines of rose at the haft and 
a vivid shrimp-red beard. Novel for color alone. As a clump 
it is striking. Close up the flowers are disproportionately 
small for the tall stems. HM’42. AM’44. 50c; 3 for $1.25
