THE NEW VARIETY "CLASSIC' 

 IS AN IMPROVEMENT 

 ON THE ABOVE 

 ASIA 



Allies 



An fiutumn flowering iris tliat, with us at least, 

 lias not only bloomed in the spring and fall, but 

 throughout the summer as well. Those who already 

 have among fall bloomers the white, purple, and yel- 

 low varieties from the Sass Brothers, will welcome 

 this French variety, because it adds a different color 

 note — one of red-brown and fawn, with some of the 

 pigment found in Dauntless, although by no means 

 as red. Khizomes are usually quite small, but the 

 flowers are of large size, and tliere just seems to be 

 no end to its blooming possibilities.

Classic 



This was a "find" in tlic 

 writer's trip tlirough the mid- 

 West in V.)'i(). A gorgeous thing 

 of the Asia type, of Dominion 

 form and texture, with wide, 

 flaring falls, and a stiff, eane- 

 like stem. Tlic huge standards 

 appear to be fasliioned out of 

 gold leaf, gradually shading tf> 

 reddish-la vendei- in the upper 

 portion. The l)eard and center 

 of the flower glows so vividly 

 that ^Ir.'Grinter, the liybridizer, 

 says that when he looks into it, 

 it almost .'-eems to be alive. 

 Classic is distinctly different 

 from the average run of intro- 

 ductions, and we heartily rec- 

 ommend it. We sold out en- 

 tirely on this last year.

Sen LAC 



Introduced l)y the Orpington 

 Nursei-ies in England, liiis 

 richly colored iris stands out as 

 the reddest yet to come from 

 that country. With blooms 

 larger than the best of the Do- 

 minion race, it carries its bril- 

 liant claret-red flowers on 

 strongly branched stems, and is 

 so highly regarded in England 

 that it is rated at 91.

TheLongfield Iris Eanti iiitiD- 

 duced Andante in 19:^0 as a 

 greatly improved Germaine Per-

 season and was one of the sui-- 

 prises of our garden. The great, 

 black buds unfolded into flow- 

 ers of perfect form and won- 

 drous beauty. General effect is

 field Iris Farm. Bright orange-yellow standards, 

 lightly stained bronze; falls very rich and velvety, of
