Two Superb New Iris Germanica 



A beautiful combination of Royal Purple and Golden 

 Yellow. 



The two varieties here described, one a golden yel- 

 low, the other a rich velvety purple, flowering at the 

 same time and when planted together form a brilliant 

 rich color combination that is most effective and 

 pleasing. 



Gold Imperial. The best and most vigorous growing 

 free-flowering golden yellow Iris. Rich smooth 

 chrome yellow of fine form and texture with a bril- 

 liant orange beard. It has been one of the most 

 admired of the newer Iris on account of its perfect 

 form and unusually deep color. $7.50 per doz.; 

 .$60.00 per 100. 

 Soiiv. lie Mme. Gandichan. The largest, darkest and 

 by far the finest of the dark purple Irises. The falls 

 are brilliant velvety blackish purple, even the beard 

 has a bluish cast which enhances the beauty of the 

 flower. In addition to its other attractions it is also 

 very fragrant. .$5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.

 manica with I. pninila hybrida. They bloom earlier

 foliage.

 and falls of a clear lavender-blue shading to a pale 

 silvery-blue at the base and sweetly scented. It is
