strain irises of recent introduction. It stands today 

 as one of the largest, ricliest, brightest and most 

 velvety of all irises, and no collection should be with- 

 out it. Standards are rosy i&wn shading to yellow at 

 the base; falls a glowing rich red-hrown. edged with 

 buff. 



BUECHLEY'S GIANT EACH $1.50; 3 FOR $4.00 



With the perfect form of Frieda Mohr, and the 

 clean blue-lavender of Lord of June, this new iris is 

 one of the most colossal flowers we have. The stalks 

 are extra heavy and tower to great height, witli foli- 

 age in proportion. Compared Avith IMabel Taft, an- 

 other giant iris, this has a silky finish rather than 

 velvety, different form, and is lighter in tone. 



BURNING BRONZE each 5,0.00 



A dark but blazing metallic red. a floAver of great 

 size, and one of the superfine seedlings grown by 

 America's foremost hybridist. Dr. Ayres. This spec- 

 tacular flower created a. sensation Mdaen shown at the 

 AIS meeting in Freeport in 1933, and some critics 

 pronounced it the finest red iris in existence. It dif- 

 fers from most others in its bronzy finish. H. M. AIS 

 1933. See page 12. 



BUTO EACH 20c; THREE FOR 50c 



A very dark, solid purple, from the Sass Brothers, 

 one of the darkest of all irises, and a very early one. 

 Flowers are of large size, rounded in shape, and 

 without any veining or reticulation. A very free 

 blooming iris on medium height stems. 



Planted with the yellow Desert Gold, Avhich 

 blooms at the same time, a most sti'iking garden 

 effect is created. 



BYZANTIUM EACH $10.00 



A tan-brown overlaid with gold ; along the midrib 

 of the standards is a delicate penciling of iridescent 

 blue, adding a note of charm and refinement to the 

 whole. Does not lose its delicate color in hot sun. 

 This is one of Dr. Ayres' newest, and stock is of 

 course very scarce. 



CABALLERO EACH $7.50 



]*Iedium deep rosy red, somewhat of the coloring 

 of Rose Dominion, Avith very velvety falls and a 

 satiny sheen over the entire bloom. Wide petaled, 

 gracefully flaring, the huge flowers are majestically 

 poised on stems of strong and vigorous growth. 

 Heavy grape fragrance. This is a Nicholls introduc- 

 tion of 1935. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD EACH $10.00 



The deepest large flowered yelloAv, being a seed- 

 ling of Grace Sturtevant and unquestionably hardy. 

 Does not fade, and shows no paling in standards, 

 falls, or beard. We believe this to be the nearest to 

 perfection of any deep yellow in commerce. Said one 

 iris enthusiast, gazing upon one of its full blown 

 golden blooms for a full minute, "It isn't so. There 

 is no such iris!" Shown on page 16. 



CAMELLIARD EACH 25c; THREE FOR 50c 



One of the best and most brilliant light type varie- 

 gatas. Towering to four feet or more, a clump is a 

 distinctive, high-light in the garden. Standards clear 

 amber yellow, falls flushed light purple, yellow near 

 the edges. One of Miss Sturtevant's best. 



CARDINAL EACH 20c; THREE FOR 50e 



Certainly one of the best of all Dominion seed- 

 lings, and in fact one of the world's finest irises. 

 Massive in size, with broad falls of deep, velvety, 

 crimson-purple. Indispensable.
