WM. MOHR Each 35c; 4 lor $1.00 



This strange and beautiful hybrid is named for 

 one of the world's most famous hybridizers, and is 

 considered as his greatest piece of work. The entire 

 bloom is a self color of pale lilac, closely netted and 

 veined with deep violet, producing a weird, yet very 

 lovely effect. In some ways it resembles the variety 

 "Susiana", but lacks the dullness of this older sort, 

 and is not at all difficult to grow. A monster flower, 

 produced on stems up to 30 inches tall. See page 34. 



WOTAN Each $2.00 



Here is the darkest, richest, and largest, of all the 

 very deep blends. The velvety purple-brown texture 

 extends clear into the throat, and were it not for the 

 somewhat short stem, we would be inclined to rank 

 this ahead of any dark iris that grows. However, the 

 foliage is very bold and the stalks are heavy and in 

 keeping with the size of the blooms. Height is the 

 sole limitation — about 28 inches. 



W. R. DYKES Each $1.00 



The famous yellow that set the iris world agog a 

 few years ago, when there were no large solid yellow 

 varieties in existence. It still has no counterpart, for 

 the crepey texture and broad hanging falls are un- 

 matched by any of the newer irises. In some seasons 

 and in some localities a few purple spots or streaks 

 appear on some of the blossoms, but this does not in 

 the least manner mar their attractiveness. The color 

 is deepest golden yellow. While cold temperatures 

 do not seem to harm the plant, it demands perfect 

 drainage. 



YAKIMA Each $1.50; 3 for $3.50 



Very tall variegata, the standards clean yellow 

 with a suggestion of crimson stain, the falls velvety 

 red with golden haft. This iris has a long season of 

 bloom, with many lateral branches on the four-foot 

 stalks. It is most effective planted against a back- 

 ground of green foliage. 



Mehayna 



ZAHAROON Each 85c; 3 for $2.25 



Most unusual in color, an odd blend of soft amber, 

 buff, yellow, fawn and pale violet. The combined 

 effect has been referred to as "biscuit" colored. This 

 is an English origination, and one of the most popu- 

 lar sorts we have had from abroad. It is a free bloom- 

 er, with tall slender stems and flowers above average 

 in size. 



ZUNI (Pendell in England) Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



A glorious, glowing red-brown, overlaid with a 

 coppery suffusion. Very early, but with so many 

 buds to the stalk that it lasts well into the season. 

 The falls are a brilliant red when seen with the sun's 

 rays through them, and the standards seem as if 

 sprinkled with gold dust. Large in size, well branched 

 and about 40 inches in height. See cut on page 39.
