DREER'S GERMAN IRIS 



For a Riot of Color in May and June 



We have yet to plant German Iris in a place they would not grow — sun or shade ; banks or terraces ; moist or dry. 

 They grow and multiply and yield a prodigious amount of bloom through May and June. Two firm rules to follow 

 in planting are: 1. No fresh manure. 2. "Knuckles up," that is. the tops of the rhizomes (roots) should show just 

 above the surface of the ground when planted. For fertilizer use dried sheep or cow manure or bone meal. 



September or October is the best time to plant. Order now. 



Angelus. 3 ft. One of the very finest orchid-pink Iris. 

 The blooms, heavily textured, are ideally spaced on a 

 well-branched stalk. A new self with a shimmering 

 mauve iridescence on the falls. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 

 12 for $4.75. 



Buffawn. 3 ft. Bufif-fawn with a brilliant tangerine 

 beard. Pronounced flaring blooms of light tan color 

 with a pinkish glow ; prominent red-orange beard. 7Sc 

 each ; 3 for $2.00 ; 12 for $7.00. 



Copper Lustre. 3 ft. Instantly distinguishable from 

 other Iris is this large, odd and beautiful copper-toned 

 flower overlaid with a golden iridescence. 60c each; 

 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Destiny. 3 ft. A rich, somber-toned variety with ex- 

 ceedingly velvety black plum-purple falls and standards 

 and rich gold beard. An effective very dark Iris. 60c 

 each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Elmohr. 3 ft. One of the most exciting and talked-of 

 Iris we have grown in years. An exquisite shade of 

 rich, reddish mulberry, incredibly glossy and lustrous ; 

 the color seems to smolder as if some interior source of 

 light were seeping out. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.00. 



Elsa Sass. 3 ft. Enticing "lemon-ice" toned yellow, 

 an entirely new shade. Cool and frost-like sulphur- 

 yellow with a white blaze near the haft. Elongated 

 blooms of medium size, frilled at the edges. 60c each; 

 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Garden Magic. 3 ft. A top-flight red. Flowers of 

 smooth, velvety-toned vivid red on medium tall stems. 

 Rich color, good substance and form. Not a fast grow- 

 er, it takes about two years to give its best perform- 

 ance. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. 



Golden Majesty. 3 ft. A very fine golden yellow, glis- 

 tening smooth and unfading. The good-sized, gleaming 

 gold blooms are of majestic classic form. 75c each; 3 

 for $2.00 ; 12 for $7.00. 



Great Lakes. 3 ft. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 

 1942, this is about the finest light pure blue. Of good 

 size and form, with a pronounced flare and stiff, crisp 

 petal texture, it is most striking. Rugged and hardy, 

 we highly recommend it. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. 



Gudrun. 2>4 ft. A splendid white for fore-ground plant- 

 ing. A very large variety with shapely blooms of ex- 

 cellent texture. Warm white despite its snowy color- 

 ing, due in part to the warm golden beard. 60c each ; 

 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Lightliouse. 3 ft. A most unusual coalition of colors — 

 clear old-rose standards and rose-red falls. A torch- 

 like center of yellow sends streams of gold from the 

 heart of the flower. 75c each ; 3 for $2.00. 



Marquita. 3 ft. Its luminous cream standards are the 

 last word in serene but warm exquisiteness. The water- 

 melon-rose falls are veined rather than solidly colored. 

 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Miss California. 3^ ft. An enormous flower of lilac- 

 pink, a pleasing tone, with a lemon-yellow beard. A 

 prolific variety and a most satisfactory garden subject. 

 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Missouri. 3 ft. The giant blooms of faultless form and 

 heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of 

 medium blue. In every way a splendid Iris. 60c each ; 

 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Morocco Rose. 3 ft. Delectable rose-pink. The warm 

 coloring gives a soft yellow glow at the heart ; a pleas- 

 ing yellow beard. Popular and in heavy demand. Takes 

 two years to become established. 7Sc each ; 3 for $2.00 ; 

 12 for $7.00. 



German Iris 



Naranja. 3 ft. A striking large flower with a distinctly 

 orange hue. An ochreous yellow with the pro- 

 nounced orange tone mainly concentrated in the falls 

 and with decidedly orange-looking buds. 60c each; 3 

 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Ormohr. 3 ft. Uniform gray-lavender with infiltrated 

 veins and dots of violet. One of the largest Iris. 60c 

 each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Radiant. Zyi ft. One of the most brilliant Iris in the 

 garden. Standards are golden bronze ; falls glowing 

 copper-red. Vivid and intense and outstanding for 

 foreground planting. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for 

 $4.75. 



Sable. 3 ft. A wonderful shade of deepest black-violet 

 with a claret tone. Arresting in its depth of color, even 

 to the beard. A lustrous sheen completes the splendid 

 harmony of this fine Iris. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. 



Snow Flurry. 3^ ft. A beautiful, ruffled blue-white, like 

 an enveloping soft snow spray. The unopened buds are 

 lightly tinted blue, but the blossoms open a cool white. 

 $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 



Snowking. 3 ft. _ A king indeed ! Radiant as sun on 

 Arctic snows, this serenely poised giant of glacial purity 

 and regal carriage is generally recognized as one of the 

 _ finest white Iris. _ 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75. 



Tiffany. 3 it. Gaily painted yellow Plicata with rose or 

 deep pink stitching on a yellow background. The pat- 

 tern is a most pleasing one. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 

 for $4.75.

 falls with brighter margins. 75c each ; 3 for $2.00 ; 12
