NEBRASKA EACH 35c 



Deep golden yellow, with prominent veinings of 

 reddish brown in the falls. A good sized flower, 

 slightly ruffled. Extremely late. 



NEON EACH 57.50 



"The bright and shining light of the garden." 

 Thus does the originator, Carl Salbach. describe it. 

 The standards are bronzy gold, the falls bright and 

 velvety carmine red, rich and glowing. The beard is 

 fiery golden orange. 



A perfect example of candelabrum type branch- 

 ing, with 48-inch stalks carrying a heavy quota of 

 blooms and buds. Has been tested and found hardy 

 under severe wintering. 



NINGAL EACH $1.00; THREE FOR $2.00 



One of the recent productions of Dr. Ayres, of 

 Cincinnati. A most lovely and unusiial blend, unlike 

 anything now in commerce. The standards are pure 

 bronzy buff, extra large, and nicely domed. The 

 flaring falls are of a smooth, warm buff, overlaid 

 with iridescent very pale blue. This blue shading is 

 deepest near the center and gradually fades to ]nile 

 buff at the juargin. Gigantic in stature, being up to 

 46 inches tall. 



NOWETA EACH $1.00; THREE FOR $2.50 



Here is one of the latest sensations from those 

 popular hybridizers, the Sass Brothers. A melting 

 creamy pink, exceptionally ruffled, much more so 

 than Midgard, and larger than this popular variety. 

 Stock of Noweta is still very scarce, and as was the 

 case last season, it is likely to be a sell-out before 

 summer is far along. Everyone who sees it wants this 

 frilly, pinky, fluffy-ruffled dainty newcomer. 



NUMA ROUMESTAN EACH 35c; THREE FOR 90c 



Deep but bright garnet red, of a uniform shade in 

 both standards and falls. More uniform in color 

 than Dauntless; not as large nor as tall, however. 

 Free blooming, and gives a fine red note in the gar- 

 den. Very late. 



NURMAHAL EACH $1.50; THREE FOR $4.00 



One of the magnificent seedlings introduced by 

 Col. Nicholls of Ithaca, N. Y. Standards deep brown, 

 with a hint of violet, very large, circular and domed. 

 Falls very deep black-brown with a red undertone. 

 Yellow beard. Of the Grace Sturtevant type, but a 

 larger flower with better substance and much finer 

 standards. A wonderful new iris that is sure to 

 attract instant attention. 



OCTOBER OPERA EACH $2.00; THREE FOR $5.00 



Rich wine red autumn bloomer. See page 34. 



OMAHA EACH 25c; THREE FOR 50c 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange beard, 

 producing a very striking contrast. Blooms are extra 

 large and of lovely rounded form. The color effect 

 is deep and brilliant pink, rather than red, and the 

 petals have a glistening and fragile appearance, al- 

 though on the contrary they stand up perfectly. 

 Height about 30 inches. 



OPALINE EACH50C 



A very lovely blend of soft pink and yellow. A 

 single stalk gives but a faint idea of the beauty of 

 this flower ; as a clump it is truly stunning. Our 

 stock is limited, but we can equally recommend "Day 

 Dream", a flower of the same type and color effect. 



OXHEART EACH $3.00 



Dee]) rich strawberry red-purple self, with beard 

 to match. The large circular falls are velvety and 

 without reticulation. A great favorite in the Nicholls 

 garden, where it originated. A strong grower, with 

 delightful gra]ie fragrance. Three feet tall. 



PAULETTE EACH 75c; THREE FOR $2.00 



Giant pale blue, a better Loetitia ^lichaud. From 

 ]\Iillet, the originator of the famous and lovely 

 Loetitia, and considered as his finest iris. Of enamel- 

 like lustre, on very tall-stems, and with flaring falls. 



PEACHES EACH 50c; THREE FOR $1.00 



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. 



PERSIA EACH 75e; THREE FOR $1.75 



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. 



PERSIAN PRINCESS each $1.00 



A pogo-regelia hybrid siiperior to anything of its 

 type. Bishop's purple veined with madder violet, the 

 heft veined seal-brown. Said to be a more easy doer 

 than others in this class, and to reach a height of 

 three feet. Very few plants for sale. 



PHEBUS EACH 50c; THREE FOR $1.00 



Clear lemon yellow, an exceedingly rapid increas- 

 er, and one of the most popular of the newer yellow 

 irises. Fine rounded flowers, over three feet tall, with 

 much branching. A good companion to Pluie d'Or, 

 with its contrasting shade. 



PINK OPAL EACH 75c; THREE FOR $1.75 



A sister seedling of Pink Satin, of much greater 

 size and half again as tall. The blossoms are lilac- 

 l)ink, self colored, and abundantly produced, al- 

 though the tall stems are short branched. However, 

 the blooms appear all along the stalks, so that the 

 lack of branches is not apparent in the garden pic- 

 ture. Very beautiful, and a bargain at the price. 



PINK SATIN EACH $1.00; THREE FOR $2.50 



•Jacob Sass raised dozens of excellent pink seed- 

 lings, and this one was deemed as most outstanding 

 of all. The color is a very delicate and smooth, yet 

 glistening and brilliant, i)ink without the usual rose 

 or purplish cast. The stalks are tall and slender, Avith 

 blooms of large size. Very rapid of increase, and of 

 course perfectly hardy.
