Tiger-Tiger 



Our I'cddest iris I AVe are often asked what variety 

 is the nearest to real red, and we never were quite 

 sxu'e until last season, at which time we made a spe- 

 cial effort to compare all Ave were growing in the red 

 class. Color is largely a matter of opinion, esi)ecially 

 when the line is finely drawn, and some might not 

 agree Avith ns, but this large, rounded, perfectly 

 formed iris from the Wareham collection is our 

 choice foi- tin* world's nearest to real red. Very lim- 

 ited stock. Each $5.00 



Titan 



One of the original Dominion Seedlings, and one 

 of the largest irises in cultivation. The color is a 

 rather drab purple, but the perfection of form, last- 

 ing substance and inuneiise size cause it to remain 

 quite i)opular. Each 25c; three for 60c 



Tropic Seas 



Very tall floAver of intense blue tones, Avith a 

 most brilliant deep orange beard. A striking iris. 



True Charm '''' 



Although inexpensive, True Charm is one of the 

 very best things ever introduced, and still holds its 

 place in any company. A plicata, of clear, sparkling 

 Avhite, Avith the standards and falls delicately etched 

 lavender. Bright orange beard. It is up to four feet 

 in height, especially Avell branched, and the blue- 

 green foliage has a distinctive rush-like appearance, 

 drooping near the top. This makes it an admirable 

 plant for the edge of a i)oo], or for a imsition in the 

 border. Each 25c; $2.00 per dozen

Valor 



This remarkable floAver Avas one of the sensations 

 in the East last season, and every critic Avho saAV it 

 flower Avas enthusiastic over it. Col. Nichols, of 

 Ithaca, N. Y.. the introducer, thinks it his highest 

 achievement thus far. In general effect Valor is a 

 deep blackish blue violet bicolor. similar in some 

 respects to Sir Michael, but a larger floAver and Avith 

 domed standards. One of the tallest of all varieties; 

 very fragrant. II. :\I. ATS 1!)32.

Tapestry 



A subtle blend of monster size, smuky mid- 

 berry in general color effect, Avith the center of 

 the fall intensely colored, passing out to the 

 smoky tones of the standards. This variety 

 calls to mind Dr. Ayres' famous "Persia", but 

 the dondnant note is dull red instead of dull 

 blue. TAPESTRY is a favorite of Mrs. Ayres, 

 Avho admired it especially as a cut floAver in 

 the house. Shown in color on i)age 7.
