PIERRE MENARD 
CHAR-MAIZE (D. Lyon 1949) $6.00; 3 for $15.00 
(Snow Flurry x Aztec Copper.) A large flowered Iris of excep- 
tional merit. Extra fine in proportion and heavy of substance with 
falls and standards delicately ruffled. For richness of color this 
flower is hard to surpass, for the deep yellow shows rich tones of 
chartreuse which blend and deepen in the ruffling to present a 
flower of definite quality. The heavy substance withstands degrees 
of heat and wind such as to wilt the average Iris. Char-Maize 1s 
vigorous, presenting well spaced flowers on tall branching stems. 
44”. Mid-season. Highly commended 1948. Honorable Mention 
1949. Award of Merit A.J.S. 1952. 
See illustration on Page 28. 
CHEEKS OF TAN (7. Craig 1950) $2.00 
(Parentage China Maid x Copper River.) A large mellow pink 
blend with a lavender blaze. The haft of the fall petals and the 
keard are burnt amber and golden brown. Height 40”. 
CHERIE (D. Ha!! 1947) $5.00; 3 for $12.00 
A “flamingo” pink. Its delicate shade of real pink contrasted with 
a deep tangerine beard is most entrancing. The ruffled blooms are 
of good size, form and substance and all in proportion. A vigorous 
grower. Mid-season. 34”. Award of Merit 1949. Awarded the 
Dykes Medal A.J.S. 1951. 
DON’T BE CONTENT WITH BEARDED IRIS ALONE! 
CHINOOK PASS (Norton 1950) $3.00 
(Sylvia Murray x Gloriole.) Standards are silvery light blue, with 
falls of light blue, darkening toward the edges. The beard is light 
yellow on the base, varying to white at the tip. Large flowers are 
2Q"” 
well spaced on graceful stalks. Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1951. 3€ 
CHIQUITA (Knowlton 1951) $8.00 
Lovely ruffling lends charm and enchantment to this near amoena. 
The very pale blue-lavender standards are closed and firmly held; 
the flaring deep velvety blue-purple falls are distinctly embroid- 
ered at the edges with the same color as the standards. 36”. Late. 
Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1951. 
CHIVALRY (J. Wills 1944) $1.50 
A Dykes Medal winner for 1947. Its blooms are medium blue 
with ruffled edges, having domed standards that are large and 
full. The gracefully flaring falls are broad at the haft, and are of 
excellent texture. A blue tipped orange beard gives a finish. Mid- 
season. 36”. Pictured on Page 5. 
CINNAMON TOAST (Sass 1953) $20.00 
Aptly named is this plicata, which stems from Ruth Pollock hybri- 
dizing. It bids fair to become in its day what its Ruth Pollock 
ancestor was in its era. Large broad petals, heavy substance and 
satin finish are evident. Color is ivory, with wide borders heavily 
sanded with rich red-brown. A good grower, with well branched 
stalks. Mid-late. 36”. Honorable Mention A.I.S. 1953.
