Bearded Iris (Continued) 
City of Lincoln (H. P. Sass 1937) A midseason blooming, fairly large, brilliant 
variegata, Standards are clear yellow and the falls a red-brown with a golden 
margin. These contrasting colors make the variety very interesting and de- 
sirable. A very popular favorite. 50c 
Claret Velvet (Weed 1940) Glowing blackish wine, without venation of any kind, set 
off by a pronounced burnt orange beard. Perfect form and good branching. 
Rather low growing, 30”. 50c¢ 
Claribel (J. Sass 1936) S. White, frilled blue. F. white. A very pleasing iris. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
‘Courtier (D. Hall 1947) Deepest color of the flamingo pinks. Not as large as Cherie, 
but the color is outstanding. Stems are strong and well branched. Prominent 
deep tangerine beard. Extremely hardy. 30”, $3.50 
Danube Wave (Schreiner 1947) A lovely harmony of color and style. A rich marine 
blue. Its outstanding quality is its depth of color. This is really an outstand- 
ing iris. Well-poised blooms on finest branched stems. A lovely flower that will 
add to any collection. Midseason. 38”. $4.00 
Desert Song (Fay 1946) Nicely proportioned cream iris of large size with a light airy 
ruffle. Flowers are a cream self. The large flaring and ruffled flowers are of 
nice proportion and bloom over a very long season. The haft is without reticula- 
tions and the beard is yellow. The stalk is very strong, well branched and 40” 
tall. Midseason. Winter hardy. $3.00 
Display (Grant 1942) A beautiful new red toned iris, dark and rich; more of a self, 
than most reds. Rich and brilliant. The perfect smooth color bloom without 
any veining at the haft, is one of the darker, rich reds, a highlight in the garden. 
A fine iris close to true red. $1.00 
Distance (Cook 1946) A silvery light blue, smooth in finish and very evenly colored. 
Distinct and a worthy addition to the blues. The flowers are large, of pleasing, 
flaring form. The segments are smooth except for a slight waving at tip of falls. 
Heavy substance and satiny texture. Whitish beard, fairly inconspicuous. Light 
blue color overcast with silver. 36”. $3.00 
Dreamcastle (Cook 1943) A very lovely pure orchid-pink done to perfection. A near 
white beard emphasizes the solid orchid-pink coloring. The flower is full with 
domed standards and falls of exceptional width, full and rounded. This gives 
the flower an extraordinary full and billowy effect. $3.00 
Elmohr (Loomis 1942) A very rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr. Unlike its 
parents it is a strong grower and the flowers are large and of very good sub- 
stance. A mulberry purple might be a better description of the color. The stems 
are at least three feet tall. You will like this one and find it a worthy addition 
to your iris collection. Excellent branching habit. $1.00 
Elsa Sass (H. Sass 1939) Here is a lovely light yellow that is outstanding, An en- 
tirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur with a greenish cast in its depths and 
a near white blaze near the haft. The blooms are large, slightly frilled at 
edges. 36”. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
Fantasy (D. Hall 1947) Lovely rose and orchid toned pink, distinctive and quite dif- 
ferent in color from the flamingo pinks, but it is of the same breeding as the 
flamingo’s and has the tengerine beard. The well formed, above medium sized 
flowers have good substance. Well branched, stout 30” stems. $7.50
