10 Bearded Iris 



Alta California. Holds its place as one of the most 

 worthwhile and sensational Iris grown. It is the 

 tallest of all the new yellow Iris and its branching 

 qualifies it for "A" rating either as an individual 

 stalk or as mass bloom. Yellow Iris have long been 

 recognized as being the "spark" that brings out the 

 fullest beauty of any Iris garden and Alta California 

 serves this purpose to perfection. 48 inches. 



Buechley's G-iant. Early. An Iris giant in size and 

 height and one of the ten largest and best. Huge 

 brilliant flowers of perfect form in a soft to medium 

 blue effect. 50 inches. 



Coppersmitli. A very tall and robust growing Iris. 

 Not a new variety but worthy of a place in the 

 garden because of its freedom of bloom, large rich 

 copper-bronze flowers, and good foliage. 



Standards light bronzy rose-purple. 

 4 feet. 



Indian Chief. TVithout a peer among the medium tall 

 reds of its color shade and blooms earlier than most 

 when good "red" Iris are scarce. Bronzy violet stand- 

 ards with falls of Dahlia-carmine. A good doer 

 everywhere and should be in every garden. Early. 

 32 inches. 



Jean Cayeux. A smooth soft light buff described as 

 "Coffee colored." Tall and very stately. 36 inches.

 edge of lavender. 40 inches. 



President Pilkington. Large, of bold form, well- 

 branched, many buds to stalk and medium tall. 

 Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with 

 falls of soft violet faintly edged silvery brown. The 

 elegant dignity of this Iris gives it a charm that is 

 difficult to describe. Midseason. 40 inches. 



Venns de Kilo. Gigantic new white. Considered by 

 many as the best white. A perfect flower in everj'' 

 way. 



William Mohr. Most orchid-like of all Iris, this un- 

 usual hybrid is the most distinct variety grown. 

 The leaves always are small but the flowers are 

 simply immense. The ground color is pale lilac, 

 standards flushed darker, the whole flower beautifully 

 veined manganese-violet. Stems strong and rigid, 

 20 to 24 inches, usually four flowers on each. Early.
