We have grown and featured these irises for years and ours 

 has been one of the very few sources of supply. Many in this 

 list were originated in this country, by American hybridizers 

 while a few were imported directly from the Orient a few 

 years ago by us at great cost and subsequent slow and pains- 

 taking effort to propagate enough stock to make them avail- 

 able to gardens here. The demand has always been so great 

 that our supply has been exhausted each time they were 

 offered, and we have listed them only about every other year. 



This year we again have a crop of thousands of wonderful 

 plants. They have been grown in a new spot, freshly divided 

 this past spring so that they will have fine new full root 

 systems and vigorous healthy crowns. You get the whole 

 plant, carefully packed in damp moss, and it should imme- 

 diately take hold in your garden and give you good bloom 

 the first season. 



These gorgeous late June and early July flowering irises, 

 with their broad pietals and exciting colors of brilliant silk, 

 porcelain, or rich velvet, prolong the iris season most of 

 another month after the regular tall bearded sorts have 

 finished. Even the foliage is different, and adds contrast in 

 the border. They are particularly at home adiacent to pools 

 or streams, but are equally fine in the border amongst other 

 perennials if not too crowded and given occasional watering. 



Delivery will be made from September 1st on into early 

 October. Early orders will be shipped out first. 



AIFUKURIN Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00

 white ground suffused and heavily edged violet. Big but not 

 coarse. Quite tall. 



BEAUTY OF YAMAMOTO Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Dbl. This is the very deepest ultramarine blue iris of this 

 type that we have yet seen. A very large flower, quite late, 

 a profuse increaser, it makes a mass of gigantic blue blossoms 

 with deep gold centers. One which we imported. 



FRANCES E. CLEVELAND Each 50c ; 3 for $1 .25 



Sgl A great single of crepe-like appearance in palest lavender 

 blue, without any other color or markings Very delicate in 

 spite of its size. 



KARAHASHI Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Dbl. Deep magenta-lake in color, very vivid, with extra 

 broad petals waved at the edges. A lovely rose-red tone, with 

 blossoms of largest size on stems of medium height. Another 

 of the new ones imported in 1^35 and which were offered for 

 sale in just one catalog previous to this one. 



KURUMA-DOME Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Dbl. Another new one, white with a narrow stitching of 

 reddish purple, something like the plicatas in bearded iris. 

 It produces so many huge flowers that the foliage is scarcely 

 visible. 



MIYUKI-GURUMA Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Dbl. A most spectacular and gigantic flower of clear white 

 with very broad frosted edge of brilliant crimson. This is 

 positively distinct from any Japanese iris we have ever 

 grown and we are certain that it will thrill you. Do not let 

 the name awe you ' 



OSAMAKU MIYO Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Dbl. A great ivory or creamy white flower, entirely covered 

 with tiny web-like blue veins. Styles deep blue violet which 

 contrast sharply against the lighter background. A very 

 beautiful cut flower. 



OTOMENE Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Sgl. The largest of all these irises, and we believe it to be the 

 largest in existence. Some of the flowers actually measure 

 1 foot in diameter! A very tall royal purple, overlaid with 

 a smoky cast. Although large, this is a beautiful color and a 

 flower of heavy substance. Practically as tall as Neptune. 



PRESIDENT HARDING Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Dbl. A pronounced blue self, \ery late. The tone of blue is 

 most unusual, deeper and more colorful than powder blue, 

 but that gives you an idea. This has very heavy substance 

 and is one of the longest lasting varieties. 



PURPLE GLORY Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Sgl. Originated also by Mrs. U. G. Smith, who gave us the 

 lovely white, Perfect Peace This iris is a giant in size, very 

 deep red purple in color, with a silky sheen. A very rich 

 piece of color.
