RARE AND RECENT NOVELTIES 



On this pap,e will be found a list of varieties which have been only recently introdnced, and 

 of which we ha^ e only a few plants. In many instances they are the ^ems found in gardens of 

 growers here and there during the course of Iris visitations in 1930-31. We urge you to place 

 your order for these as soon as possible, for oiu" supply of stock is very limited. 



Brittoness 



Pale lemon-cream, of I\roonligiit derivation. This 

 flower was blooming magnificently in the Sehriener 

 garden in St. Paul last June, and was a favorite of 

 Robert Sehriener as Avell as myself. A very new in- 

 troduction from England which has had little pul)- 

 lieity, but is deserving of a place among the iris 

 aristocracy. Blossoms of great size, slightly rTifried. 

 splendid stem and Inancliing liabit. 



Each $4.00 



Blue Velvet 



FeAv irises have received more favoral)le comment 

 during the past two years than has this rich velvety 

 seedling from the hand of Dr. Loomis of Colorado 

 Springs. An iiis of the Swazi type, larger, bluer, 

 and finer in t'very way. Not vei-y i-ajiid of inci'case. 

 it will lie in demand I'oi' a long lime (o coinc. 



Each $14.00 



Camelliard 



Fairly recent, not especially rare, but one of the 

 best and most brilliant light type variegatas. Tower- 

 ing to four feet or more, a clump is a distinctive, 

 high-light in the garden. Standards clear andier yel- 

 low, falls flusiied light ])urple. yellow near the edges. 

 One of Miss Sturtevant's l)est. 



Each $2.00 ; three for $4.50 



Elsinore 



A Flowei' but ill lie known, and one which is de- 

 serving of gi'eater popularity. 1 found it blooming 

 in splendid form in several gardens in New York, 

 Connecticut, and about Boston, and it niade an in- 

 stant hit with me at least. Of only medium size, its 

 dainty blossoms of pale primrose-yellow are deli- 

 cately edged and stained violet, and are produced 

 abundantly. Something different. Try it. 



Each $1.25; three for $3.00 



Erebian 



A self of rich, dark, bordeau red, lightened by a 

 heavy gold beard. This iris, another of Dr. Loomis' 

 wonderful seedlings, was one of the finest things I 

 saw at Freeport in 1930. I was happy to add it to our 

 own collection this past season. 



Each $14.00 



Messaline 



One of the fairly i-ecent French sorts which is 

 known to but few growers. The standards of this iris 

 are especially gorgeous, appearing as if covered with 

 gold dust ; the underlying color is light chamois. 

 Falls are corinthian red, striped cream and buff. A 

 large and tall iris, with broad foliage tinged purple 

 at the base. We have built up a nice stock and offei' 

 it at a ver_y reasonable price. 



Each $2.50; three for $6.00; ten, $18.00 



MR. SHULL and "MOON MAGIC" 



Moon Magic 



I was privileged to visit Mr. Shull's own garden 

 in Chevy Chase last Mny, and found this excellent 

 iris at its very best. It is of a general buff-yellow 

 tone, smooth and creamy in texture, of wonderful 

 form. There is little doid)t in my own mind but that 

 Moon ]\lagic will be proclaimed as Shull's greatest 

 achievement since he gave us Morning Splendor. The 

 accompanying photo gives a good idea of the oppu- 

 lence of bloom, branching, and general all- 'round 

 good qualities which go to make this an iris of rare 



Blackamoor 



Nearly black until half opened, then taking on 

 deepest blue tints, with a blue beard. A giant flower 

 on a tall and heavy stalk, finely branched. 



Each $12.00
