Otoe 



An intermediate, flowering- about ten days or 

 more ahead of the regular tall bearded section. Color 

 is deep velvety Avine-red, shaded copper. Bronze 

 beard. Extra free bloomer, about two feet in height. 



Each 35c 



Padre 



One of the newer sorts from California. A huge 

 bloom of tall stature, with yellow and lavender 

 blended standards, and rosy purple falls, flushed 

 blue. Amber beard and style arms. Each 50c 



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 $2.00; three for $5.00 



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 50c 



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 $1.50; three for $4.00 



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 1930, and was priced at 

 one thousand francs. It is a very rapid increaser. 

 See cut on page 23. Each $2.50 



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 purplisli 

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

 large size. Very rapid of increase, and of course 

 l^erfectly hardy. Each $2.50 



Pioneer 



A gloAving flower of deep red iniri)le. No veining 

 whatever to detract from the solid, rich, ]>ui'p]e col- 

 oring. Of good size and quite tall. Each 25c 



Pluie D'or (Golden Rain) 



A beautiful iris, on slender, perfectly branched 

 stems well over three feet tall. Fine rounded flowers 

 of solid golden yellow, with deep yellow beard. Win- 

 ner of the Dykes medal in France, it has proven an 

 outstanding variety of this color both in Europe and 

 America, reliable as to hardiness, rapid of increase', 

 and very free flowering. 



Each 75c; three for $2.00; $5.00 per 10 



President Pilkington 



A very lovely pastel blend, which at one time 

 bore the appropriate name of "Apparition". When 

 Mr. Mead saw it blooming in France, he described 

 the color as "a lavender-blue elephant tone", suf- 

 fused with bronze. A huge flower, the stalks splen- 

 didly branched to 4 feet tall. 



Standards are pale buff, with faint bluish and 

 slightly rosy cast. Falls, wide and flaring lavender- 

 blue with buffy yellow suffusion paling at the mar- 

 gins. Beard golden yellow. 



Each $6.00 



Primrose 



Another yellow, the standards lighter than the 

 falls. A flower of good size and shape ; undoubtedly 

 one of the best low-priced sorts. Each 25c 



Princess Osra 



Charming plicata, different from the usual run 

 of this type, since the white ground color is not only 

 edged with a blue stitching, but the entire flower is 

 speckled and stained with blue. 



Each 25c; three for 50c 



Purissima 



If you live in the Pacific Northwest, in California 

 or in the South, by all means add this glorious white 

 to your collection ! Nothing that grows can compare 

 with it when flowered under congenial conditions. 

 Growers in colder and wetter sections of the coun- 

 try can also succeed with it, but it must have win- 

 ter protection except in warm climates. A normally 

 flowered stalk of Purissima is a never-to-be-forgot- 

 ten sight. Each 75c; three for $2.00 



QUERIDA 



A warm iiastel effect in jiinkish lavender, Avith 

 style branches, beard and hafts all flushed yelloAv. 

 Somewhat the coloring of the old Afterglow, but 

 twice as large. Sometimes blooms in fall in Cali- 

 fornia. 



Each 50c 



Rameses 



The 1932 Dykes medal Avinner in America. A 

 very vigorous, healthy grower in all parts of 

 the country and a fast increaser and free 

 floAverer. Rameses is a symphony in rose, pink 

 and buff, shading to yellow near the edges, and 

 AA'ith a A'-elloAv glow at the center. HeaA^y apricot 

 beard. 36 inches and over in height, gracefully 

 branched. Limited stock. Each $2.00 



Realm 



Intense, pure rich blue self. One of the best of 

 this class. Each 35c; three for 90c 



Red Dominion 



A deep velvety garnet-red, produced by Dr. Ayres. 

 While the standards are a shade lighter than the 

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

 red velvet. The buds are particularly striking. Very 

 limited stock. 



H. M. AIS 1931. 



Each $8.00
