CLOUD CAP (DeForest 1950) ML. 40’. * 
Here is the largest of all tiamingo pinks. So large, indeed, 
are the 7-inch blooms that they leave one almost breathless 
with surprise. A flamingo about the shade of Cherie with a 
suggestion of mother of pearl finish. See illustration page 18. 
COLOR SERGEANT (H. F. Hall 1948) ML. 36”. 
ffandsome and pleasing red, free growing, rich ruby cast with 
a deeper velvety flush on the falls. Large flowers 8 to 10 
per stem and a vigorous grower. A very worthwhile red. 
$3.50 
COLUMBIA (Tompkins 1952) M. 33”. 
Not a large or tall flower, but a color gem of rich medium 
blue. This has been called the truest medium blue in Ivis. 
The intensity and uniformity of color, with a quiet marine- 
like serenity, is both pleasing and restful. HM’52., $15.00 
CONFETTI (Schreiner 1949) EM. 38’. * 
\ 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 
markings and stipplings are pink on creamy 
white. Branching and stem extra fine. Illustrated 
on page 24. HM’50. $3.00 
CONGO (Schreiner 1953) M. 42’. 
Dark Iris have been rather restricted to smallei 
flowers, shorter stems, and, generally, to colors 
on the blue side of black, CONGO represents a 
real achievement in that it is the first large 
dark Iris with a reddish silken sheen on top of a 
coal black undertone. With its extra large 
blooms this gloriously rich black with red tints 
fills a long-vacant niche in the Iris spectrum. 
\n excellent color reproduction at right. 
$15.00 
COOL LEMONADE (Muhlestein 1947) E. 32’. 
\ delightful and refreshing pale lemon yellow 
self. A personality among the early flowering 
kinds. Fine for foreground planting. $1.00 
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 Iris. Illustrated page 46. $7.00

CONGO 
COPPER RIVER (DeForest 1945) M. 36’. 
[his glistening tan with an overlay of bright new-penny 
copper surely has the accent on color. The bright shade seems 
to reflect a tone of henna. Flaring form, fragrant. 
: , $1.25; 3 for $3.00 
COPPER ROSE (Cook 1941) M. 38”. 
Shimmering silky rose copper, tinsel-like with its golden terra 
cotta glitter from an afterglow-like blending of rose, tan and 
copper. Clean gold haft. HM’42. AM’43. 75c: 3 for $2.00 
CORDOVAN (Kleinsorge 1946) M. 34’’. 
A very rich brown-red with a glossy finish like a piece of fine 
textured 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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50
