Depute Nomblot 



The world's greatest iris. Blooming for the first 

 time in America during the season of 1930, it almost 

 liowled over all who saw it. Since that time it 

 lias proven worthy of first impressions, and from 

 England and France, as Avell as from all sections of 

 this country, come songs of praise for this imposing 

 giant of the race. Standards light glowing rosy- 

 purple, overlaid bronzy-gold. Falls very Avide, spread- 

 ing, purplish garnet-red, shading to lighter rosy- 

 bronze at the edge. Deep orange beard. Over four 

 feet tall, wonderfully well branched. Depute Nom- 

 blot received a certificate of merit in 1929 at the 

 Paris show, and in 1930 was awarded the Dykes 

 medal. Each $7.00 



Delight 



Very lovely plicata with only the rose style 

 branches to detract from its whiteness. 



Each 35c; three for 90c 



Desert Gold 



A very early, very large, and extremely fine ad- 

 dition to our growing list of yellow sorts. Desert 

 Gold is not a deep yellow, nor is it a pale yellow 

 comparable to anything we now have in this class. 

 Standards are large and domed, pure light yellow. 

 Falls are extra broad and are a very light yellow, 

 but the central portion is of an unusually brilliant 

 chrome, with a heavy, deep yellow beard, and this 

 makes for an effect not present in any other yellow. 

 It certainly is deserving of a position among the best 

 new introductions. Nothing else like it. See cut on 

 page 9. H. M. AIS 1931. A. M. 1932. Each $5.00 



Dolly Madison 



With the blended colorings of an intensified 

 Quaker Lady, and size, branching habit and height 

 comparable to the best, this AVilliamson introduction 

 has no superior in its class. As the Longfield cata- 

 logue states: "Eventually you will own Dolly Madi- 

 son." It carries some of the shades found in the 

 new French varieties, Anne Marie Cayeux and Evo- 

 lution. Eeliable everywhere, and certain to evoke 

 the admii'ation of all who see it. See cut on page 9. 



Each 75c; three for $2.00

Egypt 



A grand iris of immense size and great substance, 

 enduring wind and rain, as well as a strong sun. 

 The flowers are of Mme. Gaudichau shape, but meas- 

 ure over five inches from top to bottom. Broad 

 standards, stiff and erect, of a livid bronzy-violet. 

 Falls very large, long and drooping, of deep velvety 

 maroon-purple, Avith black sheen. Bright gold beard. 

 Very little reticulation.. A robust, free blooming, 

 very tall and Avell branched new English variety from 

 the firm of R. Wallace & Co. Each $3 00 



El Capitan 



Giant blooms which always evoke exclamations 

 of surprise. A bicolor of light manganese violet, of 

 perfect shape and of excellent habit. Each 75c

 MR. E. G. LAPHAM 

 Elkhart, Indiana 



This delightful pink iris Avas discoA'ered up- 

 on the occasion of my first visit to Elkhart in 

 1930. The color is indescribably soft and smooth, 

 an even tone of delicate flesh pink, and the sub- 

 stance is like kid. The flower itself is about the 

 size and shape of Llidgard, and of medium 

 height. As a clump in Mr. Lapham 's garden it 

 dreAv instant attention, and its rapid increase 

 and freedom of bloom Avill be sure to make it a 

 great faA'orite. 



H. M. AIS 1932. Each $7.50 



Dream 



An old standby among the pinks. Rapid of in- 

 crease and a picture in the garden. You must haA'e it. ErEBIAN 



Each 25c 



Duke of Bedford 



One of the best of the Dominion race, Avith very 

 large floAvers of dark Adolet and rich purple.

Elsinore 



A floAver but little knoAvn, and one which is de- 

 serving of greater popularity. I found it blooming 

 in splendid form in several gardens in Ncav York, 

 Connecticut, and about Boston, and it made an in- 

 stant hit Avitli me at least. Of only medium size, its 

 dainty blossoms of pale primrose-yelloAv are deli- 

 cately edged and stained violet, and are produced 

 abundantly. Something different. Try it. 



Each 75c 



Eothen (Out of the East) 



Soft, ivory-yellow, entirely overlaid buff, produc- 

 ing an effect of rich antique ivory. Typical Dominion 

 shape, the falls flaring widely, and Avith domed 

 standards. Large blooms, freely produced, make this 

 a marvel in the garden picture. 



Each $5.00 



A self of rich, dark, bordeau red, lightened by a 

 heavy gold beard. This iris, another of Dr. Loomis' 

 Avonclerful seedlings, Avas one of the finest things I 

 saAv at Freeport in 1930.
