CHRISTABEL (Lapham 1936) M. 38”. 
Melodramatic—a splendid glowing true red. One of the great 
reds not only for individual exhibition bloom but for the 
garden as well. Its size, vigor and floriferous habit make a 
clump a perfect mass of glowing copper red; fragrant. HM’36. 
AM’38. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) ML. 42”. 
Rich golden standards and velvety, fiery red falls. This is the 
boldest color contrast to be found in Iris and makes a 
clump of this variety a very striking focal point in any 
iris picture. HM’38. AM’39. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting 1945) M. 38”.

low. Nice flaring form, heavy substance, widely 
branched stem. Fragrant. HM’47. AM’50. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
CLOUD CAP (DeForest 1950) ML. 40” 
Here is the largest of all flamingo pinks. So large, indeed, 
are the 7-inch blooms that they almost leave one breathless 
with surprise. A flamingo about the shade of Cherie with a 
suggestion of mother of pearl finish. The sensation of the 
1951 AIS meeting at Shreveport. HM’51. $15.00 
COMFETTI (Schreiner 1949) EM. 38”. * 
Confetti is a well branched pink plicata with large flowers 
and very heavy substance. It is a striking flower delightfully 
flared, beautiful in form and fresh in appearance. The mark- 
ings and stipplings are pink on creamy white without the 
pearly sub-tint present in so many of this kind. Branching 
and stem extra fine. A bright and snappy plicata. Illustrated 
on page 16. HM’50. $3.50 
COOL LEMONADE (Muhlestein 1947) E. 32”. 
A delightful and refreshing pale lemon yellow self. A person- 
ality among the early flowering kinds. Fine for foreground 
planting. $1.50 
COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner 1951) M. 38”. 
There is no copper shortage in this stunning seedling out of 
Bryce Canyon x Sunset Serenade. Indeed we think it has 
more honest-to-goodness copperiness, more metallic brilliancy, 
more new-penny glitter than any other blend we know. The 
handsomely formed blooms of generous size hold their color 
well in the strongest sun. Truly an outstanding new Iris.

cotta glitter from an afterglow-like blending of rose, tan and 
copper. Clean gold haft. HM’42. AM’43. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
DANUBE WAVE (Schreiner 1947) M. 38”. 
A lovely harmony of color and style. A rich shade of re- 
markable marine blue. Its outstanding quality is its depth 
of color. Very thrifty with exceptionally well substanced and 
poised blooms. It is an Iris the fancier seeking a color note 
will prize. A good illustration of this fine Iris on page 20. 
CORDOVAN (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 34”. * | . 
Se ine $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
A very rich brown-red with a glossy finish like a piece of fine 
textured cordovan leather. A seedling of the famous Bryce 
Canyon, it has the unusualness of coloring of this famous 
Iris. A nice rich blend. HM’47. AM’51. $1.50 DAWN REFLECTION (Stevens 1948) M. 36”.

with garden visitors. The immense blooms, attractively flared 
and waved, have a ground color of glistening ivory, sparingly 
and precisely etched rose-pink on the falls and more gener- 
COURT HERALD (Stevens 1952) M. 38”. 
For a really vibrant color we like this deep, rich, burnished 
gold. So classically perfect is its form, so metallic is its lustre, 
one almost has to touch it to see if it is real. And yet nature’s 
mysterious artisans have given it the spiritual beauty reserved 
only for flowers. Illustrated page 6. $7.50 
ously suffused and etched a bright lilac-pink in the standards. 
A sturdy Ivis of unusual delicacy, yet most effective in the 
clump. Branching and substance are ideal. $7.50
