CAHOKIA (Faught 1948) Each 7.50 
Our nomination for the best light sky blue iris to date. A most 
beautiful shade of clear blue with no purplish hue and a 
bright yellow beard that sets off the color to even better ad- 
vantage. Huge exquisitely formed flowers on well branched 
40 inch stems. Midseason. HM 1949, AM 1951. 
CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whiting 1947) Each 5.00 
Intensely brilliant ruby red with a coppery sheen. The color 
is uniform even to the beard with no haft venation whatever. 
Medium sized flowers on 3 foot stems. Late midseason. HM 
AlS 1947. 
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 1.50 
Deep copper brown self and the finest of this color. Brighter 
than other browns. Very large. HM AIS 1944, AM 1946. 
CASCADE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 2.00; 3 for 5.00 
This glowing blend of coppery pink and bright tan is truly a 
gorgeous color combination. The flowers are large with in- 
tensely ruffled falls. HM AIS 1945, AM 1947. Picture on 
page 28. 
CHAMOIS (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 2.00 
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. HM AIS 1945, 
AM 1948. 
CHANTILLY (Hall 1945) Each 1.50 
No other iris has as crimped or ruffled flowers as this enchant- 
ing novelty. Orchid rose self of medium size. HM AIS 1945, 
AM 1947. 
CHERIE (Hall 1947) Each 8.00 
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. 1951 Dykes Medal winner. Pic- 
ture on page 25. 
CHIVALRY (Wills 1944) Each 2.00 
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. AM 
1946, DM 1947. 
CIRCUS (Marx 1950) Each 1.00 
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. 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
The outstanding true variegata. Golden yellow standards and 
dark red falls make this one of the flashiest iris and especially 
so in clumps. HM AIS 1937, AM 1939. 
COTH OF GOLD (Whiting 1945) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
This blazing rich yellow self seems to sparkle, so clear is its 
color. Truly a superior iris in every way. HM AIS 1947, AM 
1950. 
CLOUD CASTLE (Graves 1944) Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
Huge wistaria blue faintly tinted mauve. Tall and most effec- 
tive planted behind the new pinks. HM AIS 1944. 
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 1.25 
The first copper colored iris which was awarded the Dykes 
Medal in 1938. There is nothing else like it. 
CONQUEST (Marx 1952) Each 15.00 
An intriguing new hybrid described as a ‘blue Lady Mohr’’ 
by iris critics who have observed and admired the unusual 
and attractive qualities of this giant oncobred. A two toned 
flower of delicate shades, standards pale wisteria blue, falls of 
similar but lighter hue with a faint suffusion of chartreuse 
producting the bi-color effect. The imposing bloom is distin- 
guished further by a prominent bronze beard and a small 
purple signal patch. Form like Blumohr but with larger falls. 
Extra early and unlike many of the hybrids, Conquest is 
vigorous and free blooming. Branching fair. Height about 
30 inches. Illustrated on back cover. 
DAWN REFLECTION (Stevens 1948) Each 7.50 
Considered to be one of the largest if not the largest of pli- 
catas. The wavy flowers are ivory with the edges of the falls 
stippled rosy purple and the standards suffused a lighter shade 
of rose purple. The immense blooms are perfectly poised on 
well branched 3 foot stems. One of the most charming plicatas. 
Midseason. 
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. HM 1942, AM 1943. 
DEEP VELVET (Salbach 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Without doubt this is one of the finest dark iris grown today. 
The glowing deep reddish violet flowers are simply stunning. 
Quite fragrant. HM AIS 1941, AM 1942. 
DESERT SONG (Fay 1946) Each 2.00 
A new cream self that has won much praise everywhere. Flow- 
ers are pleasingly ruffled and possess wonderful substance, 
lasting for several days in all kinds of weather. HM 1946, 
AM 1949. 
DESTINY (Burgess 1934) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
From New Zealand came this huge iris of dark plum purple 
with a striking golden bronze beard. 
DISPLAY (Grant 1942) Each 1.00 
Dark rich Spanish red that we like very much. An absolute 
self of great brilliance. HM 1942. 
DISTANCE (Cook 1946) Each 2.00 
Smoothest silvery blue with no veining and an inconspicuous 
white beard. There are lots of blue iris but none quite like this 
distinctive variety that has already become most popular. 
HM 1946, AM 1949. 
DREAMCASTLE (Cook 1943) Each 2.00 
The best orchid pink we have seen and sure to be in heavy 
demand as soon as there is sufficient stock to permit a lower 
price. The full rounded flowers are brightened by a white 
beard. Still very scarce. HM 1944, AM 1948. 
EASTER BONNET (Maxwell 1946) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Large golden pink blend that stands out in a group in which 
competition is now extremely keen. The warm tones of com- 
bined pink and yellow is appealing and visitors never pass 
it without some words of praise. 40 inches. HM 1946. 
EBONY ISLE (DeForest 1949) Each 7.50 
Another of the near black varieties but of reddish tone rather 
than the more usual blue or purple. Very rich and velvety 
with no markings whatever to mar the uniform color. Dark 
coppery bronze beard. Rather low growing and late. HM 1950. 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A bright blend of many colors but the garden effect is coppery 
red. Very heavy bloomer and rapid increaser and has won 
several awards. 
ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass 1942) Each 1.00 
A brilliant iris in the same color class as Rocket. Standards 
are clear bright yellow. Falls bronze yellow brushed orange 
red. 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942) Each 1.00 
Considered the finest Wm. Mohr seedling to date. This im- 
mense reddish violet flower with slight ruffling and elegant 
form won the Dykes Medal in 1945. 
ELSA SASS (H. Sass 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
An entirely new shade which shows up occasionally among yel- 
low plicata seedlings. The flowers are a sparkling lemon yellow 
with a blaze of white on the falls. HM 1939, AM 1941.
