Iris Pumila Hybrida. 



A cross between the dwarf early flowering /. ptimila and the large- 

 flowering /. germanica. Their period of flowering is a trifle later than 

 the pumila section, with flowers almost as large, showy and attractive 

 as the German Iris. Our trials of these varieties in the hardy border 

 the past season, as well as earlier forcings under glass, have fully con- 

 vinced us of their desirability for both purposes. 

 Cyanea. Rich royal purple, with blackish shadings. 

 Eburna. Pure white, with creamy white shadings. 

 Florida. A beautiful lemon-yellow, shaded darker. 

 Formosa. Upper petals deep violet-blue, lower petals light violet.
