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

 46 inches tall. Each $3.00 



NOWETA 



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. 



Each $2.00 



NUMA ROUMESTAN 



Deep but bright garnet red, of a uniform shade in 

 both standards and falls. More uniform in color 

 than Dauntless; not as large nor as tall, however. 

 Free blooming, and gives a fine red note in the gar- 

 den. Very late. Each 60c ; three for $1.50 



NURMAHAL 



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 

 attract instant attention. Each $2.50 



NUSKU 



Lovely old rose and yellow blend, a very luminous 

 flower, tall and stately. Introduced by Mrs. Thos. 

 Nesmith of Lowell, Mass. Flowers of large size, 

 about three feet in height. Each 40c 



OCTOBER OPERA 



Rich wine red autumn bloomer. See page 35. 



OMAHA 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange beard, 

 producing 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. A 

 considerable novelty in color, and one of Sass's finest. 

 Height about 30 inches. Each 35c ; three for 90c 



OPALINE 



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. 



Each 50c ; three for $1.25 



OPHELIA 



A blend of cream, old gold, pink, and pale blue, 

 difficult to at once describe, but one of the loveliest 

 of all irises. A beautiful variety under artificial 

 light. Each 25c; three for 50c 



ORUCA 



Large flowers, abundantly produced, in pale lav- 

 ender, lighter at edges of the falls. Very prominent 

 fuzzy beard. Each 35c 



PADRE 



A California introduction that bears quite a close 

 resemblance to the famous Persia, having the same 

 smoky blue and bronzy purple combination of tones. 

 Tall, with heavy foliage and enormous blooms. The 

 amber beard and style arms lend enrichment to the 

 color note. Each 35c ; three for 70c 



PEACHES 



A warm and bright blend of peach, apricot, and 

 orange. Not so deep in color as Clara Noyes, and with 

 more creamy markings in the falls. One of the most 

 prolific flowering varieties, with very heavily ruffled 

 blossoms. Peaches is a very recently introduced va- 

 riety and stock is still very scarce. 



Each $1.25; three for $3.00 



PEERLESS 



A magnificent iris of very bright mahogany red. 

 One of the very largest, and of wonderful effect with 

 its bright red color and heavy gold beard. 



Each 35c 



PERSIA 



One of Dr. Ayres' masterpieces. 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. 



Each $1.25; three for $3.00 



PERSIAN PRINCESS 



A pogo-regelia hybrid superior to anything of its 

 type. Bishop's purple veined with madder violet, the 

 heft veined seal-brown. Said to be a more easy doer 

 than others in this class, and to reach a height of 

 three feet, Very few plants for sale. Each $2.50 



PHEBUS 



A new yellow from Cayeux. Unlike Pluie d'Or, 

 this iris is a uniform shade of lemon yellow, abso- 

 lutely pure. Fine rounded flower of good size, over 

 three feet tall. The lemon color introduces a new 

 tone in iris of this class. Phebus was the high spot 

 in French introductions in 1030, and was priced at 

 one thousand francs. It is a very rapid increaser. 

 Shown on page 16. Each $1.00 ; three for $2.50 



PINK OPAL 



A sister seedling of Pink Satin, of much greater 

 size and half again as tall. The blossoms are lilac- 

 pink, self colored, and abundantly produced, al- 

 though the tall stems are short branched. However, 

 the blooms appear all along the stalks, so that the 

 lack of branches is not apparent in the garden pic- 

 ture. Very beautiful, and a bargain at the price. 



Each $1.00 



PINK SATIN 



Finest of all American pink irises. Jacob Sass 

 raised dozens of excellent pink seedlings, and this 

 one was deemed as most outstanding of all. The color 

 is a very delicate and smooth, yet glistening and 

 brilliant, pink without the usual rose or purplish 

 cast. The stalks are tall and slender, with blooms of 

 large size. Very rapid of increase, and of course 

 perfectly hardy. Each $2.50
