NEBRASKA Each 35c 



Deep golden yellow, with prominent veinings of 

 reddish brown in the falls. A good sized flower, 

 slightly ruffled. Extremely late. 



NEON Each $4.00 



"The bright and shining light of the garden." 

 Thus does the originator, Carl Salbach, describe it. 

 The standards are bronzy gold, the falls bright and 

 velvety carmine red, rich and glowing. The beard is 

 fiery golden orange. 



A perfect example of candelabrum type branch- 

 ing, with 48-inch stalks carrying a heavy quota of 

 blooms and buds. Has been tested and found hardy 

 under severe wintering. 



NINGAL Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



One of the recent productions of Dr. Ayres, cf 

 Cincinnati. A m.ost lovely and unusual blend, unlike 

 anything now in commerce. The standards are pure 

 bronzy buff, extra large, and nicely domed. The 

 flaring falls are of a smooth, warm buff, overlaid 

 with iridescent very pale blue. This blue shading is 

 deepest near the center and gradually fades to pale 

 buff at the margin. Gigantic in stature, being up to 

 46 inches tall. 



NOWETA Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is one of the latest sensations from those 

 popular hybridizers, the Sass Brothers. A melting 

 creamy pink, exceptionally ruffled, much more so 



than Midgard, and larger than this popular variety. 

 Stock of Noweta is still very scarce, and as was the 

 case last season, it is likely to be a sell-out before 

 summer is far along. Everyone who sees it wants this 

 frilly, pinky, fluffy-ruffled dainty newcomer. 



NURMAHAL Each 85c; 3 for $2.00 



One of the magnificent seedlings introduced by 

 Col. Nicholls of Ithaca, N. Y. Standards deep brown, 

 with a hint of violet, very large, circular and domed. 

 Falls very deep black-brown with a red undertone. 

 Yellow beard. Of the Grace Sturtevant type, but a 

 larger flower with better substance and much finer 

 standards. A wonderful new iris that is sure to at- 

 tract instant attention. 



OCTOBER BLAZE Each $5.00 



A fine big glowing red, along the lines of Indian 

 Chief, but it is a persistent autumn bloomer. Much 

 brighter in color than October Opera and larger in 

 size. 



OCTOBER OPERA Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A new color in autumn flowering sorts, a rich 

 wine-red. It is brighter than the old Opera, much 

 larger, and is also taller. This is a fine grower, and in 

 the fall in our garden it was covered with flowers. Of 

 course it also blooms in the spring, with the inter- 

 mediates. 



OMAHA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange beard, pro- 

 ducing a very striking contrast. Blooms are extra 

 large and of lovely rounded form. The color effect 

 is deep and brilliant pink, rather than red, and the 

 petals have a glistening and fragile appearance, al- 

 though on the contrary they stand up perfectly. 

 Height about 30 inches. 



OPALINE Each 35c 



A very lovely blend of soft pink and yellow. A 

 single stalk gives but a faint idea of the beauty of 

 this flower; as a clump it is truly stunning. Our 

 stock is limited, but we can equally recommend "Day 

 Dream", a flower of the same type and color effect. 



ORMOHR Each $25.00 



Sensational Wm. Mohr seedling, introduced this 

 year. Shown on the cover and described on page 12. 



OXHEART Each $2.00 



Deep rich strawberry red-purple self, with beard 

 to match. The large circular falls are velvety and 

 without reticulation. A great favorite in the Nicholls 

 garden, where it originated. A strong grower, with 

 delightful grape fragrance. Three feet tall. 



PAULETTE Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Giant pale blue, a better Loeftia Michaud. From 

 Millet, the originator of the famous and lovely 

 Loetitia, and considered as his finest iris. Of enamel- 

 like lustre, on very tall stems, and with flaring falls. 



PERSIA Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



One of Dr. Ayres' m.asterpieces. Blended shades 

 of pale blue, lavender, grey, and bronze, with a 

 smoky veil enveloping the entire flower. Massive 

 blooms in great abundance, with many tall and 

 splendidly branched stalks. A well named variety 

 that will prove an asset in any iris garden.
