THE WORLD'S FINEST IRISES 



Adobe 



A rich, soft, reddish buff combination. The 

 stems are slender but the flowers are of very large 

 size and well spaced. This is a lovely and very un- 

 usual blend, the colorings being suggestive of the 

 name. Very few rhizomes for sale ; each $4.50 



Aliquippa 



Good sized pale yellow with luminous center of 

 deeper coloi-ing. This iris, which has received a silver 

 medal of the A. I. S., is a very free bloomer and 

 increases rapidly, thus being especially desirable 

 where a mass of soft yellow is wanted in the garden. 



Each 25c; three for 50c; $1.50 per 10 



Allies 



An autumn flowering iris that, with us at least, 

 has not only bloomed in the spring and fall, but 

 throughout the summer as well. Those who already 

 have among fall bloomers the Avhite, purple, and yel- 

 low varieties from the Sass Brothers, will welcome 

 this French variety, because it adds a different color 

 note — one of red-brown and fawn, with some of the 

 pigment found in Dauntless, although by no means 

 as red. Rhizomes are usually quite small, but the 

 flowers are of large size, and there just seems to be 

 no end to its blooming possibilities. 

 , Each 25c; three for 50c 



Allure 



An English silver medal winner, with ruffled 

 flowers of blended tones in yellow and soft lavender- 

 pink. The stems are slender and graceful, and it 

 makes a lovely cut flower. Small rhizomes.

 ing habit. Each 25c

 1930 as a greatly improved Germaine Perthuis. The

dered rose. Beautifully ruffled, medium in size, it is 

 a very dainty garden subject with the fragrance of 

 clover. Each 75c 



Anne-Marie Cayeux 



The smooth, soft tones of this iris are indescrib- 

 able. The introducer says "a delicate blending of the 

 sky's colors at sunset and those of a pigeon's 

 throat." The floAvers are very large, of an unusual 

 thick and leathery substance. The Avhole effect is 

 Avonderfully beautiful — soft rosy heliotrope blended 

 with greyish amber, beard orange. One of the finest 

 things ever to come from France. Limited stock.
