Lodestar 



A variegata with hrig^litest yellow standards, and 

 very dark falls. It made a fine showing in Mr. Wis- 

 ter's garden last June, and I was pleased to find a 

 beautiful elump in Mr. Wayraan's display on Long 

 Island. Of such perfection in every way that I felt I 

 could not do without it, even though we have two 

 richly colored irises of this type in Crown Prince 

 and Beau Sabreui'. Lodestar is quite different from 

 eitlii'i' iif these. 



Each $2.00 



Los Angeles 



Sister seedling of tlie wonderful plicata San Fran- 

 cisco. A giant in size, snowy white, with faint edg- 

 ings of lavender-blue. Splendid stalks were on ex- 

 hibit in the St. Paul iris sliow, and it was growing 

 and blooming lustily in the Schreiner garden in that 

 city, indicating that it is really quite hard.y when 

 once acclimated. 



Each $3.00 



Mary Geddes 



A genuine novelty. "Indeed, it is one of the most 

 stunning in color I have seen tliis year — or any year. 

 It was so lovely we returned to it several times, going 

 the following day to see it in its home garden, 

 where it stood out among hundreds of seedlings. It 

 is tall, the bloom well placed on a nice stalk. A self 

 color of light ochraceous salmon, which should in- 

 ti-igue one planning for color in the garden." — Mrs. 

 Hires, in A. I. S. R^ulletin for July. 1930. A seedling 

 raised I)y T. A. Wasliington of Nashville, and intro- 

 duci'd by i\Irs. Tlios. Nesmith of Lowell, ]\Iass. 



Each $20.00 



Nene 



Has the reputation of being the world's largest 

 iris, and it certainly is a genuine stunner. The flow- 

 ers are of staggering size, up to nine inches in height, 

 and are produced on stems which almost remind one 

 of corn stalks. In addition to its size, Nene is really 

 a beautiful iris, with lilac standards and falls of rich 

 wine-red, darker at the haft. 



Each $5.00 



NuSKU 



Lovely old rose and yellow blend, a very luminous 

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

 Nesmith of Lowell. Mass., and my favorite of her 

 seedlings. Flowers of large size, about three feet in 

 height. 



Each $5.00 



NURMAHAL 



One of the two magnificent seedlings introduced 

 by Col. Nicholls of Ithaca, N. Y., last summer. Stand- 

 ards 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 witli better sub- 

 stance and much finer standards. A wonderful new- 

 iris that is sure to attract instant attention. 



Each $15.00 



Red Dominion 



The much-heralded garnet-red Dominion from 

 Dr. Ayres, introduced last year by Quality Gardens. 

 I thrilled at tlie siglit of this iris two years ago when 

 I saw it growing in the garden of the originator, and 

 have always spoken highly of it since that time. 

 While the standards are a shade lighter than the 

 falls, it is practically a self in effect — a piece of ricli 

 red velvet. The buds are particularly striking. 



H. :M. AIS 1!);51. Each $25.00 



Red Robe 



An enormous bloom of perfi-ct siiai)e and habit, 

 considered by Col. Nicholls as the finest iris he has 

 ever turned out. Standards deep petunia-violet, 

 domed. Falls deep red-violet, uniformly colored to 

 the edge. Yellow beard. The flower is of splendid 

 rounded shape, a brilliant, glowing iris that lights 

 up in the garden like a huge ruby. This iris sold at 

 sight when in bloom, and as a result was unobtain- 

 abh' Intel- in the season last summer. 



Each $25.00 



Rosakura 



A Williamson introduction of high jnerit, the 

 name of which I understand means "Rising Sun". 

 Like our old and true friend, Morning Splendor, this 

 new iris needs to be seen with the sun behind it to be 

 at its best. Then the rosy-purple standards and the 

 rich red-purple falls take on a magnificence and 

 splendor seldom found in any iris. IMrs. Hires, noted 

 iris critic, has remarked that Rosakura is among Wil- 

 liamson's masterpieces and her favorite of liis 19:^0 

 introductions. 



Each $5.00 



Sachem 



A glorified King Tut, grown by Dr. Loomis. Glor- 

 ious in richest tones of red-brown, of heavy velvety 

 texture. This, together with Erebian, was regarded 

 as my choice of all the seedlings which Dr. Loomis 

 had growing on trial at IMrs. Pattison's garden in 

 1930. 



Each $18.50 



Sensation 



A clear and crisp self of cornflower blue, perfect 

 in every way. Sensation was awarded the .silver cup 

 for the most outstanding flower in the Boston iris 

 show last June. It has no peer among the blue selfs. 



Each $3.50 



MiNISTRE FeRNAND DaVID 



A masterpiece in deep, rich, dark purple. Tiiis 

 recent French introduction received much praise 

 when first seen in Mrs. Pattison's garden at Free- 

 port, 111., and at that time it was called "President 

 Pilkington". A huge, well shaped flower, that has 

 l)een awarded many certificates and prizes abroad. 



Each $20.00
