They lead the parade! Right with the Daffodi's 

 come the Dwarf Iris. Short in stature and delicate in 

 structure, they are ncne the less stout of heart and 

 brave the icy blasts and cold rains of early spr.ni 

 with the courage of a Spartan. 



Most Dwarf Irises multiply very fast, creating a 

 sheet of bloom, and later cn, a dense mat of grean 

 foliage. Long recognized as adm'rable subjects f:r 

 the rock garden, and as an edging plant in the f owe:; 

 border, these m'niatures are perfectly adapted to 

 embellishment of the flagstone path. Scatter them 

 here and there along the intervening space". The 

 springtime showing will delight you. 



CYANEA Fach 25c; 3 far 50c; 10 for $1.00 



Glowing violet, with white beard. Large flowers 

 and fine foliage. Fragrant. 



DIXMUDE Each 25c; 3 fcr 50c 



Standards analine blue, falls brilliant wine. A 

 striking contrast. 



DR. MANN Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A dusky blue and purple b'color. Good height 

 for a dwarf, and late-midseason flowering. 



ELF QUEEN Each $1.00; 3 for $2.00 



From the garden of Hans Sass we obtained this 

 new snow white miniature, and it is being introduced 

 at this time. Much more dwarf than the variety Snow 

 Maiden, the pure white flowers having a slight cool 

 green tinge. 



FLORIDA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Bright primrose yellow. A gay and fragrant little 

 fellow with lots of flowers. 



KEEPSAKE Each 50c 



New type of dwarf iris introduced in 1936 by the 

 Longfeld Iris Farm, originated by Paul Cook. This 

 one is of brightest yellow, with slender, graceful stems 

 bearing from one to three flowers, 12 inches tall. 

 Fountain-like foliage, with an amazing number of 

 flower stems per plant. Limited stock. 



NEOLA Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Very odd blend of brown and mauve, lovely and 

 most unusual. Although low in price the stock of this 

 is scarce. A fall bloomer. 



ORANGE QUEEN Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Just a shade deeper than Florida, the name 

 "orange" being misleading. Fine form, vigorous 

 grower. 



OWAISSA Each 25c; 3 for 75c 



Clear blue, almost the color of the sky. Very short, 

 ecrly, except anally free. 



ROSE MIST Each 25c; 3 fcr 50c 



Soft rose-klac, ten inches high. One of the newer 

 things. 



SAMBO Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Well named — a blackish garnet, with rich buds. 

 Seldom offered. 



TAMPA Each 50c 



Along with Keepsake, Tampa was introduced by 

 the Longfield Farm as a new type dwarf. Very red 

 for a dwarf, on slender 14-inch stems, the flowers 

 about 2 inches each way. They are lavishly pro- 

 duced above foliage that is in itself graceful and a 

 fit subject for the rock garden. Limited stock. 



TITANIA Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Deep buttercup yellow, large, well formed. This 

 is another late variety and one of Sass's new things. 



TONY Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Very brilliant ruby red, almost black unless in 

 sunshine. In early mornmg or at sundown it glows 

 like fire. One of the very best regardless of price. 



ULTRA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



One of the largest flowered dwarfs, as well as 

 one of the tallest (1 foot), and in addition is one of the 

 bluest irises grown. Besides all this, it is a most re- 

 liable autumn re-bloomer!
