"Many people both in this country and in Europe are of the opinion that 

 the Iris is 'the coming flower.' This belief is an inspiration to real lovers 

 of the genus, because it will mean a more common knowledge of the riches 

 that they are already enjoying." — -B. Y. Morrison in June Country Life. 



IT has been my opinion for some years that Irises will some day obtain 

 the recognition they richly deserve. At present the demand for new 

 varieties indicates that they will be used in greater quantities than ever 

 before, particularly when formal effects are desired. 



August and September are specially favorable months for planting Irises, 

 and my new Wyomissing Seedlings offer, to most people, novelty in pattern 

 and color so much sought for at this time. Some of my seedlings which I 

 particularly recommend are: 



CHESTER HUNT 

 HIAWATHA 

 MARY GARDEN 



MINNEHAHA 



NAVAJO 



PAULINE 



RED CLOUD 

 ROSE UNIQUE 

 WYOMISSING
