MIJS. VAI.EKIE WEST 



Mrs. Valerie West 



Of tlip long line ol' Doiiiiiiii)n seedlings put out 

 by Mr. Bliss, he eonsiders this his crowning achieve- 

 ment. It combines the rich colorings of Bruno and 

 Cardinal into a flower of greater size on a taller 

 stem, widely branched, and produces its enomnous 

 blossoms in great profusion. Heretofore the price 

 of this has been almost prohibitive for widespread 

 distribution, but our stock has increased so that we 

 are able to offer it at the following unpi'eeedented 

 low price. Each $4.00 



LoETITIA MiCHAUD 



Gigantic in size, perfect in every detail, this iris 

 retains its popularity in spite of luunerous compet- 

 itors. Of an even tone of soft lobelja-blue, a little 

 deeper than the blue of the sky, a light yellow beaixl 

 for contrast. This ofttimes grows shoulder high, and 

 is one of the many irises classed as tender that can 

 be depended upon to thrive in almost any section of 

 the country. Among the indisiiensables. 



Each $1.00 



Midgard 



Three years ago tliis was hailed as tlie l)est pi-o- 

 duction ever turned out by the Sass Brothers. The 

 yellow-pink blended flowers introduced a new color 

 note, and it became immediately so popular that 

 there has never been sufficient stock to supply the 

 demand. It is one of the most reliable new varieties 



for severe climates, besides being a very free hhxmier 

 Jiiid i-apid ituilt iplier. its Tut ure is assured. 



Each $0.90 



Omaha 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange l)eard, 

 producing a very striking contrast. Blooms are extra 

 hii'ge and of lovely rounded form. The color effect 

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

 jx'tals have a glistening and fragile appearance, al- 

 though on the contrary the}^ stand up i)erfectly. A 

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

 Height al)out ;{() inches. 



Each $1.00 



San Francisco 



A four- foot plicata that has been awarded the 

 Dykes medal by tiie American Iris Society. No other 

 plicata ai)proaches it in size and grandeur, heaviness 

 111' texture, or wide and low branching habit. It is 

 not an iris for severe climates, but is worth the i)ro- 

 tection of a box or glass covering during the winter. 

 In wanner sections it grows perfectly and is one of 

 the truly "greats" of the iris world. At the price 

 (pioted it is woi'th trying even if you I'ail with it. 



Each $2.00 



Santa Barbara 



Here we have an iris which approaclies perfec- 

 tion in the shape and size of its flowers, and in addi- 

 tion is possibly the finest and clearest lavender-blue 

 so far introduced. The exhibition rating of 91 is well 

 deserved. Having been in commerce sufficiently long 

 to become fairly plentiful, it can now be bought at 

 the following surprisingly low prices: 



Each 50c; three for $1.00 



Sikh 



Although this iris was introduced in P^ngland 

 oidy last summer, we were fortunate enough to se- 

 cure it two years ago, and now have a large sujjply 

 of well-grown plants. The color and form somewhat 

 resemble Bruno, but is both more brilliant and cop- 

 pery. Of largest size, on heavy stems, with broad 

 foliage. It bloomed in the fall in our gardens. 



Each $3.50 



Sir Michael 



rn(|uestionably the finest blue and pui'ple liicdior 

 in the world. Standards are clear blue, falls dee]) 

 rich mahogany, with a beard of red-gold. Regarded 

 as the finest iris ever to come from England and a 

 sensation wherever shown. In our own wet North- 

 west, in dry and sunny California, and in Ne})raska, 

 Ohio, and the colder ^Minnesota and New England, 

 we found it blooming ecjually well. A suiter iris, if 

 ever there was one. 



Each $4.50 



Surprise 



Monster blue, flushed lieiidtroiie. on stems up to 

 four feet in height. The intense orange l)eai'd is a 

 salient feature. This is our own introduction, and 

 we are proud of the fact that it has been well re- 

 ceived in all sections of the country. A fit companion 

 to such blues as Santa Barbara, Loetitia Michaud, 

 and Duchess Sarah. Bold foliage, almost evergreen.
