All of this section are very delicate in shadings. In E. L. Crandall I have an Iris

My choice of above would be Arnols, Dr. Bernice, Gypsy Queen, Lord Grey, Mary 
Garden, Red Cloud. The section is most effective in the garden. My beds of Dr. Bernice 
and Gypsy Queen were treats to see when in flower. 
COLLECTION of the above 13 sorts, listing $4.20, for $3. My choice of 10 sorts for $2 
Variegata Section 
To one who knows German Irises only in the older sorts in which blues and purples 
predominate, this section is a revelation, as the prominent color is a delightful light 
yellow with the richest of markings in maroons. A bed or group of any of these sorts 
adds a delightful touch in a garden. Grouping a number of one sort is better than 
mixing. 
Berchta. S. bronze-yellow; F. blue, with a bronze margin. 35 cts each 
Darius. S. light yellow; F. lilac, margined with white. 25 cts. each, $2 50 per doz 
Ganymede. S. yellow, with maroon markings; F. white, veined with dark maroon 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Gracchus. Crimson, with white veins. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Honorabilis. S. golden; F. brown. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Laurentinus. S. yellow; F. yellow, veined purple. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz 
Loreley. S. light yellow; F. d,eep sea-blue, with creamy edging. 35 cts each 
Malvina. F. veined and tipped madder-brown. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz 
Mexicaine. S. good yellow; F. maroon, with white veins. 25 cts. each, #2. so per doz 
Mrs. Neubionner. Deep golden yellow throughout. 35 cts. each 
Munica. S. bright gold; F mahogany-brown. . 25 cts each, $2.50 per doz. 
Navajo, b. brown-yellow with lavender shadings; F. deep maroon, veined white 
and yellow. $1 each. 
Niebelungen. S. fawn-yellow; F. violet-purple, with fawn margin. One of the hand- 
somest oi the group. 50 cts. each. 
Pameron. S yellow; F. violet-rose, veined white. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz 
Princess of Teck. S. clear yellow; F. purplish rose. 35 cts each 
Princess Victoria Louise. S. sulphur-yellow; F. purple, edged with cream. 35c.each. 
baturne. S. clouded yellow; F. marodn veins on white. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
My choice is a hard one among so many good things, but it would be as follows- 
Darius Gracchus, Mithras, and Mexicaine, Mrs. Neubronner as the best rich yellow 
Ins and Loreley as a most striking combination of color, and Princess Victoria Louise
