MABEL TAFT — The Giant Among Irises 



severe climates, besides bein<? a very free bloomer 

 and rapid multiplier. No iris since the introduction of 

 Morning Splendor has been so universally popular. 

 Esjiecially lovely under artificial lig'ht, and unsui-- 

 l)assed for massed jilantins' on the landscape. See 

 page 32. 



MINISTRE FERNAND DAVID ,.c.,^.2s 



A masterpiece in deep, rich, dark purple. This 

 recent French introduction received much praise 

 when first seen in Mrs. Pattison's garden at Free- 

 port, 111. A huge, well shaped flower, that has been 

 awarded many certificates and prizes abroad. 



MIRASOL EACH 40c 



A very fine large yellow, containing some Meso- 

 potamica blood, but reasonably easy to grow. The 

 flowers aie of large size, well formed, slightly 

 rounded, and there are no markings to detract from 

 the solid golden yellow color. Rich yellow beard. 

 Three feet in height. 



MME. DURRAND EACH 25e 



One of the most unusual and most l)eautiful irises 

 in the world, a blend of pale buff and creamy laven- 

 der, marked old gold. A heavy flowerer, fine in every 

 way, but rather tender in cold sections where it 

 should have protection and perfect drainage. 



MME. CAUDICHAU EACH 20c; THREE FOR 50c 



Very early dark violet blue self, with heavy gold 

 beard. Perfect in form and substance and of velvety 

 texture. Very fragrant. 



MOHRSON EACH $7.50 



Seedling of the famous iris AVm. ]\Ioiir. For al- 

 most a decade hybridizers have been trying to secure 

 seedlings from this strange and enchanting flower, 

 and at last we are able to offer one. Mohrson is much 

 taller than its ])arent, of a deep violet color, very 

 heavily veined still darker. A number of stalks were 

 sent via airiilane to the Xasliville meeting of the Iris 

 Society last s})ring, and created (juite a stir. We were 

 so impressed with it that we invested in considerable 

 stock, and can sui)i)ly excellent ])lants this season.

MONTOUR EACH 20c; THREE FOR 50c 



This little gem, a medley of deep pink, cinnamon 

 and red-brown, is perfect in every detail, and one of 

 the very best for planting in the foreground of taller 

 sorts. The bright brick-red effect is enlivened by a 

 brilliant orange beard. Very rapid of increase, mak- 

 ing a mass of bloom.
