Two Superb New Iris Germanica 
A beautiful combination of Royal Purple and Golden 
Yeliow. 
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. 7.00 per doz.; 
$60.00 per 100. 
Souv. de Mme. Gaudichan. 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.
