PLANTING OF IRIS 
AMIGO. A rare color gem that should be 
in every garden. Standards are a clear 
light lavender violet. Falls deep hyacinth 
violet. This neautiful 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 
AUBANEL. A.M., A.JI.S. A lovely ‘'pinkish"”’ 
blend. Large flowers of shrimp pink with 
warm yellow throat. F. has a distinct 
spot of lilac. 38 inches. 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. 75c 
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 
CALIFORNIA GOLD. Magnificent, deep yel- 
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. $1.50 
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. $1.00 
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. $3.50 
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. 75¢ 
CHIVALRY. A fine large bloom of medium 
blue color. This slightly ruffled iris is a 
sturdy grower and won the Dykes Medal 
in 1947. $1.00 
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 
CITY OF LINCOLN. Winner of many honors. 
A top notch Iris. It was the cynosure of 
all eyes in our Iris field the past season. 
A tall, huge striking variegata of clear 
yellow with velvety bright red falls. 40 
inches tall, a perfect beauty when well 
grown. We are most enthusiastic about 
this marvelous Iris and any praise given 
cannot be too high. 60c 
DAWN REFLECTION. One of the largest pli- 
catas. The huge flowers are flared and 
waved, and have a ground color of glis- 
tening ivory, sparingly and precisely 
etched rose-pink on the falls and more 
generously suffused and etched with 
bright lilac-pink on the standards. A sturdy 
grower, well ‘branched, of good _ sub- 
stance and has a lovely delicacy. $3.00 
ELMOHR. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 
1945, this rich red-violet seedling of Wm. 
Mohr has acquired the greatest popularity 
in the shortest time of any Iris ever intro- 
duced. One of the very largest of all 
Irises, the great blooms are daintily ruff- 
led, of a silky texture and remarkable 
substance. The stems are well branched 
and at least three feet tall. Because it has 
proven to be hardy everywhere and _ in- 
creases rapidly, the price has reached a 
point where every genuine Iris connois- 
seur can and should own it. $1.00 
ELSA SASS. An outstanding Iris that im- 
mediately takes one’s eye; a most entic- 
ing color of pure sulphur and chalcedony 
yellow it seems like a cool frost is hover-
