PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 29 
Intermediate Section 
Intermediate Irises are hybrids between the large and dwarf sorts, and flower earlier 
than the Germanica group. Large showy flowers on short compact foliage. 
Gerda. S. creamy yellow; F. darker, veined yellow. 50 cts. each.

TALL BEARDED IRISES 
These are most excellent Irises, flowering a little earlier than the general run of tall 
German Irises. Flavescens is especially delightful in good masses, and all of them will 
be found valuable.

Flavescens. Large, sweet-scented, light yellow; tall stems. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Florentina. Creamy white with a lavender tint. Very sweet-scented and earlier 
than most German Irises. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
DWARF IRISES RELATED TO THE GERMAN IRISES 
All of these form very low mats of leaves 3 to 4 inches high, and early in the year 
produce great numbers of fine flowers. In California some of them flower in the fall if 
dried off and started early. 
Balceng, Blue Beard. S. white, flaked pale blue; F. sulphur, marked purple. 15 in. 
20 cts. each, $2 per doz.

Pumila azurea. Light blue. 6 in. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Pumila cyanea. Indigo-blue. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Pumila lutea. Light yellow. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
SIBERIAN IRISES 
The Iris sibirica has narrow foliage and tall slender stems, with handsome flowers 
very like those of the Spanish Iris. It forms strong grassy clumps and they are excellent 
for cut-flowers. 3 to 4 feet high. Sit., sun. Any garden soil, but better if rich and moist 
to wet. Prop., divisions in winter. PL, October to March. 
I. sibirica. Rich blue. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
I. sibirica, Snow Queen. Large white flowers. 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
I. sibirica sanguinea. Red-purple. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
MIDWINTER-FLOWERING IRISES 
Midwinter-flowering Irises are novelties of the greatest merit. They flowered con- 
tinuously at "The Terraces" during the last winter. There was frost day after day with 
16 degrees as a low point. Snow was on them over a week and yet they produced lovely 
flowers which would be prized in Iris season. 
The leaves of Iris stylosa are 2 feet long and form clumps like our wild Irises. 
The flower-stems are often 8 inches long and the open flowers 3^ to 4K inches across. 
S. clear soft lilac; F. white, beautifully veined purple at the center, while the outer 
half is soft lilac, deepening inward to rich purple. They are very fragrant. Strong 
plants, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Iris stylosa alba adds another exquisitely beautiful winter-flowering sort, and I am 
glad to offer it at 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
I. stylosa var. angustifolia is of more slender habit with dark blue flowers. Large 
plants, 50 cts. each; good plants, 25 cts. each.
