CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge, 1944). The pure chamois-colored flowers 
have a sparkling finish which appears to be sprinkled with dia- 
mond dust. An Iris of distinction and refinement. H.M., 1945; 
A.M., 1948. Each $2.00 
My order came Saturday. They are beautiful specimens. 
Thank you very much for the gift, Prairie Sunset.

CHANTILLY (Hall, 1945). An orchid-pink with a lace-like edge 
on the standards and falls. It was appropriately named after the 
famous beautiful Chantilly lace. The blossoms have unusually 
heavy substance and are freely produced. H.M., 1945; A. M., 
1947. Each $1.50 
CHERIE (Hall, 1947). A great flamingo-pink with which all other 
pinks are usually compared. It has been described as the 
“queen of the pinks.’ In addition to winning scores of blue 
ribbons at garden shows, it was awarded H.M. in 1947, A.M. 
in 1949, and the highest award an Iris may receive, the Dykes 
Medal, in 1951. It is a lusty grower and rapid multiplier. A 
clump of Cherie is a beautiful, unforgettable sight. It has a 
regal air and aristocratic bearing which sets it apart as one of 
the most outstanding Iris introduced in recent years. (See 
cover). Each $8.00 
I have moved and have not received your catalog. I like to 
buy my Iris from you as they are the most beautiful rhizomes 
I have ever seen. 
A. §S., Missouri 
CHINA MAID (Milliken, 1936). A magnificent pink and yellow 
blend, large, tall and a good multiplier. It produces a greater 
abundance of flowers and is more certain to bloom somewhat 
farther south than Michigan. It is at its best in the South where 
it is really magnificent. H.M., 1938; A.M., 1939. Each 75c 
CHIVALRY (Wills, 1944). Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1947. 
An imposing, vigorous clear blue with excellent form. The 
large flowers are well proportioned and beautifully formed. 
A.M., 1946. Each $2.00 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass, 1937). Golden standards and vel- 
vety red-purple falls. A study in flashy color contrast. The 
colorful blossoms are freely produced on tall, stately stalks. 
A long row of this variety in our fields always attracts atten- 
tion. H.M., 1937; A.M., 1939. Illustrated on page 6. Each 50c 
CLEAR SAILING (DeForest, 1950). A well branched sparkling 
clear yellow with flaring falls. H.C., 1949; H.M., 1950. 
Each $9.00 
CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, 1945). A deep golden yellow with 
excellent branching, heavy substance and superb form. It is 
indescribably bright. Its low price is no index of the quality of 
this great Iris. H.M., 1947; A.M., 1950. Illustrated on page 3. 
Each 75c 
CLOUDCAP (DeForest, 1950). A blossom-pink with 7-inch flow- 
ers beautifully displayed on stalks up to 40 inches tall. The 
wide standards are closed, the texture of the broad, slightly 
ruffled falls is heavy, and the beard is bright tangerine-red. This 
great Iris multiplies rapidly and blooms freely. It deserves a 
prominent place in the garden as it will elicit ‘“ohs’’ and ‘’ahs’’ 
of pleasure and surprise from all who see it. H.M., 1951. 
Each $15.00 
COLOR CARNIVAL (DeForest, 1949). This variety lives up to its 
name as it is a riot of bright color. The combination of pink 
and purple and a bright tangerine beard is really startling. 
It is scarce and in great demand. H.M., 1950. Each $5.00 
COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner, 1951). It has the brilliancy of 
burnished copper. The beautifully formed blooms are of gen- 
erous size and hold their color well even in the strongest sun. 
An outstanding variety. Each $9.00 
Two years ago I ordered Iris from you and received my 
start of a beginner’s Iris garden. I also ordered Iris from 
another source, and even though I knew little of Iris I could 
easily see the difference in the plants. Yours were large, 
healthy ones as compared with the others I received. You 
have my order again this year for more. If they do only half 
as well as my first order it will be money well spent. 
L. I. M., Oklahoma 
COPPER PINK (Kellogg, 1941). A colorful blend of pink and 
copper with an orange-brown beard. Large, nicely finished 
blossoms on sturdy, tall stalks. Extraordinarily vigorous and free 
blooming. Each 50c
