Prices in this Iris List supplant those in 
all previous price lists. Please do not order 
from previous catalogue. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS will please add 
15c per pound to their order and will have to 
obtain plant permit from the Plant Bureau at 
Ottawa before shipment can be made. 
Prices for Iris as quoted below are for one 
new plant or one rhizome which will bloom 
next season and on which the new side 
shoots or “babies’’ will develop before winter 
sets in; this will be your increase for next 
year. In July and August these new eyes are 
very small but will grow rapidly during Sep- 
tember and October. 
AMANDINE. Large, cream self, tinged with 
lemon. The wide flaring falls are slightly 
ruffled and standards well domed. $2.00 
AMIGO. A rare color gem that should be 
in every garden. Standards are a clear 
light lavender violet. Falls deep hyacinth 
violet. This beautiful color combination re- 
minds one of a velvety blue purple pansy. 
Altogether a very rich, lovely Iris that 
you will love. Height, 34 inches. 60c 
ANGELUS. Award of Merit. A lovely pale 
pink-lavender blended with cream. Large 
size and fine flaring form. Be assured it 
is an outstanding Iris. 60c

blend. Large flowers of shrimp pink with 
warm yellow throat. F. has a distinct 
spot of llac. 38 inches. 60c 
AZURE SKIES. Pale azure-blue self with 
domed standards and flaring almost hori- 
zontal falls. A beautifully ruffled flower 
with wide hafts surmounted by a white 
beard. One of the loveliest of the light 
blue iris. 60c 
BERKELEY GOLD. A brilliant deep golden 
yellow. Perfect form on well branched 
stems. Considerd by many the world’s 
best yellow iris. 60c 
BLUE SHIMMER. A new and different Pli- 
cata. Clear, sparkling white with an all- 
over pattern of blue stippling. The clean 
blue is peppered with white, in an even 
manner, rather than the familiar, button- 
hole-stitch style. The flowers are very 
large and full. This is one of the most 
outstanding irises of the past few 
years. $1.00 
BLUE RHYTHM. Cornflower-blue with a sil- 
very overtone. The very large flowers 
have standards which are arched and 
domed with broad semi-flaring falls. This 
is one of the finest blue iris. $1.00 
BRYCE CANYON. A beautiful warm shade 
of henna-copper, self colored. Similar in 
colors to the rock formations of the famous 
‘National Park for which it was named. 
Broad hafts, large rounded falls, and fine- 
ly shaped standards. It has received many 
awards, and is a good grower every- 
where. $1.00

tan, with falls of the same tan with an 
overlay of smoky-lavender and veined 
old gold. 60c

low, large blooms. Does not fade. Late 
blooming. Height, 30 inches. A superb 
novelty. 60c 
CASCADE SPLENDOR. A blend of pink, tan 
and apricot. The pronounced ruffling is 
unusual on so large an iris. Heavy tall 
stalks bear as many as ten blooms. $2.00 
CHANTILLY. A _ ruffled orchid-pink. The 
edges of the flower are so heavily ruffled 
as to give the appearance of a lace edg- 
ing. Strong stems, well branched. $1.50 
CHERIE. The most famous of Hall’s new 
"flamingo pinks.” A large ruffled pink 
self of heavy substance and fine form 
with a tangerine beard. Stems 34 inches 
are strong and well branched. $5.00 
CHINA MAID. The large flowers of beautiful 
texture are carried on tall graceful stems 
and are of an exquisite beauty that will 
thrill you, a lovely blend of pink, golden 
bronze and soft lilac. It is one of the best 
introductions in this color class. You 
cannot help but like it tremendously. 75c¢ 
CHIVALRY. A fine large bloom of medium 
blue color. This slightly ruffled iris is a 
sturdy grower and won the Dykes Medal 
in 1947. $1.50 
CHRISTABEL. A splendid growing true red. 
One of the great reds not only for individ- 
ual exhibition bloom but for the garden 
also. Its size, vigor and floriferous habit 
make a clump a perfect mass of glowing 
copper red. It is one of the most effec- 
tive Iris in the garden. 60c
