Samidare 

 The Japanese Iris 

 of Special Merit 



Imperial Japanese Iris Samidare 



An outstanding distinct variety 



We consider Samidare the most distinct of the Japanese 

 Iris — a large, massive flower with six heavy, peculiarly fluted 

 petals which give the flowers their unique formation. The 

 ground color is silvery white, showing just faintly through 

 the pretty violet-blue of the petals which are strongly 

 veined with rich ultramarine blue. The standards are of a 

 rich deep violet-purple, a combination of colors not only 

 rich but at the same time exceedingly soft and pleasing. 

 The finest Japanese Iris grown. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; 



$40.00 per 100. 



Iris interregna 



An interesting type, the result of crossing /. germanica with 

 /. pumila hybrida. They bloom earlier than the German Iris 

 and the flowers combine perfection of form with large size and 

 clear and decided colors. The foliage is dwarf. The flower 

 stems are almost 18 inches high. 

 Fritjof . Lavender standards, satiny violet-blue falls. 

 Helge. Creamy yellow standards, falls darker, veined yellow. 

 Spectabilis. Rich, free-flowering, violet-purple.
