JAPANESE IRIS, MIXED 



This is not just a mixture of discarded sorts. A 

 few years ago, a hybridizer, specializing in Iris, sold 

 us his surplus of unnamed seedlings, many so dis- 

 tinctively beautiful as to be well worth off"ering 

 separately. To those we added a few good varie- 

 ties, the labels of which had become lost in our 

 nursery. We are off"ering you this truly superb 

 combination of the finest blood in the Iris family.
