PURISSIMA 



A four-foot plieata that lias been awarded the 

 Dykes juedal by the American Iris Society. No 

 other plieata approaches it in size and grandeur, 

 heaviness of texture, or wide and low branching- 

 habit. It is not an iris for severe climates, but is 

 worth the protection of a box or glass covering 

 during the winter. In warmer sections it grows 

 perfectly and is one of the truly "greats" of the 

 iris world. At the price quoted it is worth trying 

 even if you fail with it. 



Each $5.00 ; three for $12.00 ; ten for $35.00 



Coronation 



AVithout doubt this is the best yellow of Ameri- 

 can introduction to date, and because of its very 

 reasonable price is so in demand that it was prac- 

 tically unobtainable last summer. It is a uniform 

 deep yellow, absolutely hardy, doesn't fade, and 

 compares well with the high priced varieties of this 

 color now in commerce. We regard Pluie d'Or as 

 its only superior, all things considered. For two 

 years we have been propagating this, realizing its 

 good value, and now have the largest stock of it 

 existing. 



Each $2.50; three for $6.75; ten for $20.00 



Sir Michael 



Unquestionably the tiuest blue and ])urj)le bi- 

 color in the world. Standards are clear blue, falls 

 rich deep mahogany, with a beard of red-gold. Re- 

 garded as the finest iris ever to come from England 

 and a sensation wherever shown. In our own Avet 

 Northwest, in dry and sunny California, and in 

 Nebraska, Ohio, and the colder Minnesota, we 

 found it blooming equally well. A super-iris if ever 

 there was one. 



Each $10.00 ; three for $27.00 ; ten for $80.00 



Dolly Madison 



With the blended colorings of an intensified 

 Quaker Lady, and size, branching habit and height 

 comparable to the best, this Williamson introduction 

 has no superior in its class. As the Longfield cata- 

 logue states: "Eventually you will own Dolly Madi- 

 son." It carries some of the shades found in the 

 new French varieties, Anne Marie Cayeux and Evo- 

 lution. Reliable everywhere, and certain to evoke 

 the admiration of all who see it. 



Each $5.00 ; three for $13.50 ; ten for $40.00 



If you live in the Pacific Northwest, in California 

 or in the South, by all means add this glorious white 

 to your collection ! Nothing that grows can compare 

 with it when fiowered under congenial conditions. 

 Growers in colder and wetter sections of the coun- 

 try can also succeed with it, but it must have win- 

 ter protection except in warm climates. A normally 

 fiowered stalk of Purissima is a never-to-be-forgot- 

 ten sight. 



Each $4.00 ; three for $10.50 ; ten for $30.00 



MiDGARD 



Two years ago this was hailed as the best pro- 

 duction ever turned out by the Sass Brothers. The 

 yellow-pink blended flowers introduced a new color 

 note, and it became immediately so popular that 

 there has never been sufficient stock to supply the 

 demand. It is one of the most reliable new vari- 

 eties for severe climates, besides being a very free 

 bloomer and rapid multiplier. Its future is assured. 



Each $2.50 ; three for $6.75 ; ten for $20.00 



Labor 



A deep garnet colored flower, overlaid with a 

 copper and bluish sheen. This unusual tone has 

 made Labor one of the best sellers of the past two 

 seasons. This iris crowds Opera out of the picture, 

 and is most effective as a clump where its intense 

 color can be displayed to most advantage. Our lim- 

 ited stock last year was quickly sold out, but we 

 now have a fair quantity of excellent plants at very 

 reasonable prices. 



Each $2.00 ; three for $4.50 ; ten for $12.50 



Frieda Mohr 



This iris, originating in California, is one that 

 can be depended upon to grow and flower well al- 

 most anywhere despite its tender blood. Unlike 

 some of its kin, I found it perfectly at home in Illi- 

 nois, Ohio, and Minnesota. It is one of the giants 

 among our modern varieties, and is not surpassed 

 by any of the violet pinks in commerce. An indis- 

 pensable variety. 



Each $2.00 ; three for $5.25 ; ten for $15.00
