BUTTERHORN (Sass, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Cool, icy and lemon colored, shading to greenish white in the center of the falls. The form is quite distinct, as is also the hue of this unusual Iris. It is three feet in height, nicely branched, large in size. You will like it! HM AIS, 1955. BUTTERSCOTCH KISS (Plough, '57) Each $3.50 A caramel shade of yellow, glistening brightly with gold dust par- ticles. There is an intensification of yellow in the heart and on the petal edges. The large flowers are heavily laced and crinkled at the margins. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957 ; AM, 1959. See page 22. CADILLAC (Hall, '56) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A very early and free blooming rich flamingo pink with red-orange beard. Real pink, named in honor of the Men's Garden Club of Detroit. Large flowers, 36-inch stems. CALDRON (Schreiner, '57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 vivid new red from the copper side. Its 3-foot stems, well branched, are somewhat unusual in the red class and the flowers are large and splendidly formed. Both Ranger and Cordovan are in the parentage. CAPTAIN GALLANT (Schmelzer, '59) Each $5.00 Several breeders of today s finest reds have told us, after seeing it, that it is probably the finest red to date. The introducer calls it "the red Iris that is red throughout, with no purple influence and no haft markings." Huge in size and holds its color in heat or wind. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. See page 30. CARIBOU TRAIL (Plough, '57) Each $2.00 Light but rich golden brown with a bright violet blaze radiating out into the falls. All petal edges are heavily crimped and shirred on this large, heavily substanced creation. Shown on page 15. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. CARLA (Deforest, '59) Each $2.00 Rich apricot-pink, remindful of Dawn Crest and Real Delight but lighter in tone. Not very well known but deserving of a spot in any collection of top-notch varieties. Big stalks, 34 to 40 inches tall. CARMELA (Schreiner, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 One of the laciest and most exotic of all the new crinkled introduc- tions, selected as one of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 1961. Color is a blend of honev and caramel. Height 38 inches; mid-season bloom. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1958.

ENCHANTED VIOLET NOMOHR CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whifing, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Glowing ruby self, heavily overlaid with bright copper which gives it a metallic sheen. A genuine self with no haft markings—even the beard is deep copper-red. Height 30 to 36 inches. A very rare color gem. HM AIS, 1947. CAROLINE JANE (DeForesf, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Flowers are huge, the stems very tall, and the white ground glistens like snow. Markings are clean and distinct—a delicate violet blue. Must be seen to be fully appreciated. One of the "Iris of the Year" for 1959. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1955. See page 46. CANDLEFLAME fHo//,'6Ij Each $5.00 Gigantic ivory-cream self with a tangerine-orange beard which shades to almost white. There is a suggestion of greenish veining in the falls, not harsh nor conspicuous, but it does seem to impart a distinct cooling or freshening influence to an otherwise warm-hued flower. Style arms are deeper ivory. Extremely broad, horizontally held falls and heavy 3-foot stems with good branching. HM AIS, 1962. See page 18. CANDLE MAGIC (DeForesf, '61) Each $4.00 Wide standards of pink-tinted tan; the falls are cream with bright tan-gold hafts. A creamy version of the Dawn Crest and Dawn Star lusciousness might be an apt description. Tall and large. CASA GRANDE (Gibson, '63) Each $10.00 A giant deep Burgundy red plicata, the effect of which is more red than is generally associated with plicata patterns. A welcome feature is the pleasing fragrance of the blossoms ... it is one of the most sweetly scented of all Iris. Standards are almost solid Burgundy, the falls are the same with a creamy white central area. Bold in habit and bright and rich in garden value. CASHMERE (Fay, '59) Each $10.00 Deep rose-pink or rose-red, however you may choose to describe the color. The very full, heavy beard is brilliant, almost pure red. If we had to choose a dozen of the top Iris of the past ten years this cer- tainly would be near the head of our list! It is as close to perfection as one could wish for and the color is alive and pleasing. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1959 AM, 1963. Shown on page 32. (n)
